As Canada grapples with rampant wildfires during a summer of record-breaking heat, the looming threat of floods should not be underestimated. In fact, floods are the most frequently occurring natural hazard in Canada and occur almost five times as often as wildfires.

A study of 14 astronauts suggests that while space travel depletes red blood cells and bone, the body can eventually replenish them back on Earth with the help of fat stored in the bone marrow. The study, published in Nature Communications, has important implications for health in space and on Earth.
