Czerski is a physicist at University College London who studies the behavior of bubbles and films of bubbles her expertise is in phenomena at the human scale. Authors write best about what they know well. 😺 Research on the effects of periodontal treatment, particularly early intervention, on development of other diseases. I am delighted to add Helen Czerski, author of the new book Storm in a Teacup: The Physics of Everyday Life, to that distinguished company. We don't know what the causative pathways are here, but we need to.Īdditionally, this is likely to be the 'tip of the iceberg' as it is probable that periodontal disease in cats is significantly under diagnosed - if a cat even makes it to a veterinarian in the first place. In a study of 18,249 cats in primary care by VetCompass (link in comments), a number of factors were found to be associated:Īnd what is really worrying is 1.79x the odds of having a comorbid disorder, which included chronic kidney failure and cardiac dysrhythmia. We need to do a lot more about it, scientifically and clinically! Periodontal disease is an often overlooked cause of pain for cats. As a result, the lifespan of teacup pigs on average is half the lifespan of a typical pig.Įnd Starvation and Abandonment of Teacup Pigs - ForceChange Worse yet, breeders routinely utilize inhumane practices like malnourishment and inbreeding to stunt the growth of these animals.

When the pigs grow to their normal size, however, caretakers are overwhelmed, leading to the type of horrific incident that nearly cost Pearl her life.

Pearl is a so-called teacup pig: a potbellied pig bred and marketed for her small size. Paul claims he had rehomed the animal before she was found abandoned, but the tragedy highlights an increasingly dangerous trend. She’s clearly been through so much trauma that we can’t begin to imagine.” Another deceased pig was found alongside Pearl. The group posted that the pig, named Pearl, “came to us with tattered ears and a potentially life-threatening infection in her uterus that has since been healed. Goal: Ban breeding and marketing practices that cause suffering and death of countless teacup pigs.Ī pig who was once the pet of social media influencer Logan Paul was discovered in dire condition by a California animal rescue organization. It is also physics as the toy box of science: physics as fun, as never before.Target: Tom Vilsack, Secretary of U.S. This is physics as the toolbox of science - a toolbox we need in order to make sense of what is around us and arrive at decisions about the future, from medical advances to solving our future energy needs. Each chapter begins with something small - popcorn, coffee stains and refrigerator magnets - and uses it to explain some of the most important science and technology of our time. In Storm in a Teacup, Helen Czerski links the little things we see every day with the big world we live in. Look down on the Earth from space, and you'll find similar swirls in the clouds, made where warm air and cold air waltz.
If you pour milk into your tea and give it a stir, you'll see a swirl, a spiral of two fluids, before the two liquids mix completely.
Czerski's enthusiasm is infectious because she brings our humdrum everyday world to life, showing us that it is just as fascinating as anything that can be seen by the Hubble Telescope or created at the Large Hadron Collider.' - Jim Al-Khalili 'A quite delightful book on the joys, and universality, of physics.
