Houston FBI warns of economic espionage after shutdown of Chinese consulate

Read full article: Houston FBI warns of economic espionage after shutdown of Chinese consulate

HOUSTON – There is still no timetable as to when the United States may again allow China to resume operations at its now-shuttered consulate in the Montrose area. “I would have to say the amount of information that we got out of that consulate is extraordinary,” said GOP Congressman Michael McCaul. “They are targeting, I would say the Houston area particularly,” said McCaul. “Of the nearly 5,000 active FBI counterintelligence cases currently underway across the country, almost half are related to China,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said during a speech in July. While the US government stated the closure of the Chinese consulate in Houston was necessary to protect America’s interests, it could have an impact on trade according to U-H Downtown professor and US/China relations expert Dr. Peter Li.

HOUSTON – Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are going far beyond the search for a vaccine. At the beginning of the pandemic, the BCM transformed an academic research lab studying Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) in children into one that has direct access to COVID-19 patient samples. Piedra said tracking changes in the virus is key to developing a vaccine that can cover multiple strains of the virus. Researchers are also studying exactly how the virus attacks the body. “You have to follow a person.”Dr. Laura Angelo said studying antibodies also helps researchers understand how the virus is stopped.

Read full article: This is how Galveston Bay dolphins skin lesions were impacted by Hurricane Harvey

Following the historic flooding, researchers undertook a case study describing the effects of Harvey on bottlenose dolphins inhabiting the upper Galveston Bay. According to a study by the Galveston Bay Dolphin Research Program (GDRP), researchers observed a 73 percent drop in bottlenose dolphin encounter rates in the upper Galveston Bay and freshwater skin lesions were found on 96 percent of the observed dolphins. Galveston Bay Dolphin skin lesions after Hurricane Harvey (Galveston Bay Dolphin Research Program)In the recently published journal Estuaries and Coasts, researches compared dolphin encounter rates for the months preceding and following Harvey to a year with no hurricane, examined shifts in habitat-based encounter rates, and evaluated the prevalence and extent of dolphin skin lesions. While most dolphins evacuated the upper portion of the bay, many remaining dolphins shifted habitats from shallow open bay to deep channels where salinity increased with depth.
