Consider the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis, a tiny crustacean with some interesting attributes.

“It’s been called a ‘living Swiss army knife,’” said Dillon Cislo, the lead author of a study that appears in Nature Physics. “It has numerous different appendages and each one is uniquely specifiable by its size and shape. Furthermore, each one of these limbs has a very specific function.”

Their fascinating bodies and accessible growth conditions make these creatures a well-chosen model organism for developmental studies. But more than that, according to Cislo and UC Santa Barbara researchers Mark Bowick and Sebastian Streichan, their embryos are a window into the world of tissue morphogenesis, a field that seeks to understand how a mass of embryonic cells becomes the complex body parts of an adult organism.

When markets closed Friday, Apple’s market capitalization was more than $3 trillion, making it the most valuable company — ever.

It’s a massive milestone for the tech giant, which warned investors in May that its current-quarter revenue was expected to decline.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams says the necessity of restrictions on coal and wood-burning ovens has never been more clear after Canadian wildfire smoke engulfed the city. Inside Edition’s Ann Mercogliano has more.

National Geographic, a magazine renowned for its photojournalism and wildlife photography, has laid off the last of its remaining staff writers and a number of other employees, according to multiple departing staff writers. The move signals a possible decline for the publication.

The 19 affected employees—which The Washington Post reports included staff writers and members of the audio team—were made aware of the reduction back in April, which was also when parent company Disney announced widespread layoffs.

While multiple laid-off staffers have publicly stated that all staff writers have been let go, there appears to be mixed messaging — an internal source familiar with the situation told PetaPixel that this layoff did not affect “all writers”, as has been reported, and that the magazine continues to employ staff “writers/editors”. However, this may simply refer to the elimination of dedicated writing roles — The Post reports that “article assignments will henceforth be contracted out to freelancers or pieced together by editors.”
