Scientists first discovered that bacteria can "nucleate" ice--arranging water molecules in a way that makes it easy for them to bond and form ice crystals--in the 1970s. All icenucleating bacteria discovered since possess a version of the same protein. But a Virginia Tech team has now found a new bacterium that does not encode a version of that well-known ice nucleating protein; it uses a different method, secreting a large molecule into its environment.

The effects of air pollution on human health and ecosystems are well known, but little is known about how air pollution affects birds. In a paper published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, NSF-funded researchers sort through nearly 70 years of scientific literature to assess the state of knowledge about how air pollution directly affects the health, well-being, reproductive success and diversity of birds.
