Multistate Measles Outbreak Surges Past 450 Cases

A measles outbreak across Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma has surged to at least 453 cases, raising alarms over potential international spread. The World Health Organization has flagged the situation as a significant public health concern, with cases now reported in Mexico.

Texas leads with 400 cases, while New Mexico and Oklahoma report 44 and 9, respectively. Experts warn that the true numbers may be higher due to underreporting. With rising cases attributed to low vaccination rates, officials anticipate further spread, particularly among unvaccinated populations.

Ancient Mystery: Giant Organism May Rewrite Life's History

Scientists are re-evaluating Prototaxites, an ancient organism once thought to be a giant fungus. New research suggests it might belong to an entirely unknown branch of life, challenging our understanding of the tree of life.

Prototaxites thrived between 420 and 375 million years ago and could grow up to 26 feet tall. Recent studies of fossilized remains indicate a unique structure and chemical signature distinct from known fungi, suggesting it may represent a previously undescribed eukaryote. Experts emphasize that further research is needed to fully understand its nature and the reasons behind its extinction. Could this discovery change how we view ancient life forms?
