AWI is saddened to learn that two more beluga whales from Shedd Aquarium have died. One beluga, Rain, was recently transferred to the aquarium from Marineland of Canada, while the other, Beethoven, was part of the facility’s resident pod.

In summer and fall, the stretch of ocean from the northern tip of the Outer Cape down past Chatham, on the Cape’s elbow, is now the best place to see great white sharks swimming close to shore. Though the sharks may deter some beachgoers, one thing is certain: They’re luring others. nyti.ms/46rCPGu

Folks I don't know about you, but for me, it's September, so it's officially #autumn (#spookyseason) especially with the temperatures dropping. In honour of my favourite time of year, I'm sharing my best pumpkin carvings over the years. Last year: Stevie Nicks (surprise appearance from my cat).

Those who stayed up to watch the partial lunar eclipse were rewarded with a stunning sight. At the peak of the eclipse, the moon was 96 percent immersed in the Earth’s shadow, visible to viewers in parts of the Americas, Western Europe and West Africa.

Antimicrobial resistance threatens far more than the treatment of infections. It puts routine surgeries, cancer care, organ transplants and neonatal care at risk, stressed IDSA member Vera Luther, MD, FIDSA, during today’s Finance Committee hearing. #PASTEURAct

RIP Louisa Gag, a transit planner who dedicated her career to making Boston’s streets safer for cyclists & pedestrians. She was killed while biking to work on July 9, 2026. Street safety improvements shouldn’t be delayed, watered down, or treated as a political inconvenience. Safe streets now!!
