Photos by @joelsartore | Beavers are incredible engineers. The dams they build help maintain a healthy balance within environments by controlling runoff, erosion, and floods. Because of this, their actions not only directly benefit humans but also create crucial habitats for various plant and animal species.

Before puberty, boys are more likely to have asthma, but after puberty, that pattern reverses. By adulthood, about one in 10 women in the U.S. has asthma, nearly twice the rate among men. Researchers are now getting closer to understanding that shift, including how hormones such as estrogen can influence airway inflammation and the severity of asthma symptoms.

Eight years ago, photographer Pete McBride @pedromcbride almost lost his Colorado home to a wildfire. This summer, he heads back to the flames. Across the American West, an intense fire season is stretching firefighting teams thin. In Colorado, the Gold Mountain Fire has burned over 38,000 acres, while the Aspen Acres Fire has surpassed over 100,000 acres and destroyed hundreds of homes. Decades of drought in the southwest, along with one of the worst snowpacks in recorded history this past winter in the seven-state Colorado River Basin, and record heat waves, have created the perfect conditions for wildfires to escalate.

One day, Phil Gordon's house will fall 247 feet (75 meters) off a sheer cliff outside of Homer, Alaska. On the beach below, Pacific Ocean waves constantly eat away at the cliff, and the bedrock holding the entire bluff in place is unstable. But Gordon refuses to let his home fall—so he's moving the property to a safe distance back.
