Timmy, the humpback whale stranded in Germany for 6 weeks, was released on Saturday after a chaotic rescue operation that shocked marine biologists. It's unclear where Timmy is now; he may already be dead.
Here's my story about the case:

The global response to this outbreak has been "a wonderful global collaborative effort ... It shows the value of networks and people speaking to each other.”
Amen.

Terrific overview from @kakape.bsky.social about what we know - and don't know - about the hantavirus outbreak aboard a cruise ship.

Update: the confirmed Ebola case in Kinshasa that @who.int reported earlier today tested negative on confirmatory testing, the agency says. We have updated the story. www.science.org/content/arti...
Also telling: @who.int chief @drtedros.who.int invoked a public health emergency of international concern without awaiting the advice of an Emergency Comittee. www.science.org/content/arti...
Already 80 suspected deaths, confirmed cases in Kinshasa and Kampala.... The latest Ebola outbreak looks really bad. @kakape.bsky.social has our story: www.science.org/content/arti...
Timmy, a humpback whale stranded in Germany 6 weeks ago, was ailing and may already be dead
UPDATE: A dead humpback whale found in a strait between Denmark and Sweden is “Timmy,” @theguardian.com reports. Read why marine biologists advised against the attempt in @martinenserink.bsky.social's excellent story for @science.org earlier this month.

In 2021, someone posted a ludicrous theory about the origins of COVID-19 on WeChat.
Inadvertently, that person may have given away some fascinating data about the Wuhan animal market, @cohenjon.bsky.social reports.

A terrible measles outbreak in Bangladesh wasn't caused by vaccine hesitancy but by government mistakes after the 2024 revolution that caused a nationwide vaccine shortage.
