In November 2021, researchers reported that the amount of time teenagers spent in front of screens for non-school-related purposes more than doubled during the pandemic, from 3.8 to 7.7 hours per day. For teens, increased time in front of a screen can morph into an addiction to electronic devices and the activities they make possible. Screen Addiction examines the hallmarks of behavioural addictions, the damage screen addiction can wreak on student lives, and what kinds of help are available to address the problem.

Marine biologist Brent Hughes didn't think sea otters and sea grass had much in common. But his research at Elkhorn Slough, an estuary on Monterey Bay in northern California, revealed a new and surprising connection between the two. The scientist expected this estuary to be overrun with algae due to the fertilizer runoff from surrounding fields. But it wasn't. Brett's answer: sea otters. The otters eat crabs, which prey on sea hares, a type of mollusk. Fewer crabs mean more sea hares. The sea hares consume algae, thereby allowing sea grass to thrive. This set of relationships within a food chain is known as a trophic cascade.
What is the fastest animal in the world? What can dive as deep as a whale or make a submarine disappear in the ocean? The answer is zooplankton! The ocean is teeming with these small, drifting animals that come in all shapes ands sizes, from tiny zippy copepods to large, brilliantly coloured jellyfish (that you don't want to bump into).There are some very strange zooplankton, like the arrow worm -- you can see what it had for lunch inside its stomach! Some zooplankton give off a ghostly underwater glow, and others are poisonous, like the sea wasp, a jellyfish that has killed more swimmers of Queensland in northern Australia than the great white shark. Bill Curtsinger's extraordinary photography brings us right into the watery world of zooplankton, while Mary Cerullo's lively text answers our questions about these fascinating ocean creatures.
