What could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common?

journeyed together to remote Gooseberry Mesa for an adventure aiming to capture the night
sky.
Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is protected from the night-time artificial
light,makingitperfectforstarphotographers.Naturenightenvironmentssuchasthisarerare.
Camping,hiking,andshootingstarsinmountainousMesahighlightthesimilaritybetween
photography andracing. Bubbanotes, “Once you fire upthe engine there’s no turning back—I
know I’ll be in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees, “I have the same feeling as
soon as I touch the wheel of my camera—I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For
Bubba, developing patience allowed him to mature as a driver and is equally essential to his
photography.
Seizing the moment is crucial too. “Every minute things are changing—the Earth’s
shadow, the moonlight, the rise of stars,” Batak explains. “If you lose the moment, it’s gone
forever.” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as crucial when travelling in
Utah’sruggedlandscapesunderfreezingtemperatures.
Think incoming clouds, wind, or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect shot?According
to Batak, “With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an
opportunity. Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a
clearsky.”
The teamdiscovered sharedinterests thatgo beyondphotography.“We’rebothpassionate
about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries,” says Batak.

Mom always said, “Choose your friends wisely.” Now a study led by a Rutgers Health
professor shows she was onto something: Their personality traits can affect you—especially
onesthatareintheirgenes.
Thegeneticmake-upofadolescentpeersmayhavelong-term consequencesforindividual
risk of drug and alcohol use disorders, depression and anxiety, the groundbreaking study has
found. “What our data illustrates is the long reach of social genetic effects,” said Jessica E.
Salvatore, an associate professor of psychiatry at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical
SchoolandleadauthorofthestudypublishedintheAmericanJournalofPsychiatry.
Socio-genomics—the influence of one person’s genotype on the observable traits of
another—is an emerging field of genomics. Previous research suggested that peers’ genetic
make-up might influence health outcomes of their friends. To test this, Salvatore and her
colleagues used Swedish national data to assess peer social genetic effects for several mental
disorders.
With an anonymized (匿名的) database of more than 1.5 million individuals born in
Sweden between1980and 1998 to Swedish-bornparents, the firststep was to map individuals
by location and by school during their teenage years. The researchers then used medical,
pharmacy and legal registries documenting substance use and mental health disorders for the
sameindividualsinadulthood.
Having controlled factors such as the target individuals’ own genetic tendencies and
family socio-economic factors, the researchers still found a clear association between peers’
genetic tendencies and target individuals’ likelihood of developing a substance use or mental
disorder. The impacts were stronger among school-based peers than geographically defined
peers.
Salvatore said more research is needed to understand why these connections exist. But
高三第二次诊断考试 英语试题 第 6 页（共12页）
{#{QQABSYCAggCAQhBAAAgCEQGgCgMQkhGAASgOQAAMMAAByRNABAA=}#}what is clear, she said, is that the findings count for interventions. “If we want to think about
howtobestaddressthesesociallycostlydisorders,weneedtothinkmoreaboutnetwork-based
andsocialinterventions,”shesaid.
This research also underlines the importance of disrupting processes andrisks that extend
for at least a decadeafter attendance in school, Salvatore added. “Peer genetic influences have

The world is already facing naturaldisasters of epic proportions as temperatures rise.The

These actions include imitating the cooling effects of large volcanic eruptions by putting
large amounts of reflective particles (微粒) in the atmosphere, or making low clouds over the
ocean brighter. Both strategies would reflect a small amount of sunlight back to space to cool

{#{QQABSYCAggCAQhBAAAgCEQGgCgMQkhGAASgOQAAMMAAByRNABAA=}#}There aremanyunansweredquestions,however,abouttheeffectsofintentionally altering

Besides, a climate engineering project in one country is likely to affect temperature and

For now, there are more questions about climate engineering than answers. It’s hard to say
