The vaquita (Phocoena sinus), an elusive porpoise found only in the shallow waters of Mexico's northern Gulf of California, is one of the rarest and most endangered marine mammals on Earth. Measuring about 5 feet (1.5 meters) in length, it is the world's smallest cetacean—a group that includes whales, dolphins and porpoises. Known for the distinctive dark rings around its eyes and mouth, the vaquita remained unknown to science until the latter half of the 20th century. Today, it has become a global symbol of the growing biodiversity crisis unfolding in the world's oceans.

However, a lot of those people are still going to be coming, AND we’re going to have an additional 50,000 visitors,” says John Duncan, Mayor of Coronado. Those extra 50,000 folks will be coming to see the NASCAR street race on the base, which is completely sold out for both Saturday and Sunday. Obviously, anyone coming to the event will need to allow for A LOT of extra time. “If you’re not here, in my opinion, four hours before race time then you’re going to be stuck in some very heavy traffic,” says Duncan. “You’ll probably get in. You’ll probably be fi

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a new palladium (Pd) precatalyst that combines exceptional stability with high catalytic performance. This precatalyst can be stored for extended periods under ambient conditions and suppresses undesirable side reactions during activation, highlighting its potential for the efficient synthesis of organic materials and pharmaceuticals. The work is published in the journal Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers.
