Even in Canada, Where Water Prices Are Low, Aging Infrastructure and Rising Costs are a Problem. Throughout the Great Lakes region and across the U.S., water systems are aging. In some communities, this means water bills that residents can’t afford or water that’s unsafe to drink. It means that vulnerable systems are even more at risk in a changing climate.

Rising prices of methane gas used for power and heating, exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, are contributing to soaring electric and heating bills across the country. This is exacerbating a crisis in energy insecurity that has only worsened during the pandemic, leaving many more families struggling to pay their bills, facing disconnection, or already shut off from their utility service.

By Mischa Dijkstra, Frontiers science writer. An illusion new to science shows that the pupillary light reflex, which controls the width of the pupil in anticipation of expected changes in light, depends on the perceived environment rather than the physical reality. Have a look at the above image. Do you perceive that the central black hole is expanding, as if you’re moving into a dark environment, or falling into a hole?

Scientists from a handful of "core" countries – including China, the US and the UK – tend to be cited much more than those working in "periphery" nations. That's the conclusion of an analysis by sociologists in the US, who find that this citation gap is largest in the physical sciences – and that it is growing across all scientific fields. This inequality and lack of diversity in geographical spread of science could impact the spread of knowledge and the growth of new ideas, the researchers warn
