Description: Scientific American is an American popular science magazine. Many famous scientists, including Albert Einstein, have contributed articles to it. It has been in print since 1845 and it is the oldest continuously published monthly magazine in the United States. The 98-page July/August 2023 issues' cover story is: Parrot Invasions -These smart, social birds are thriving in cities around the world. Other articles include: ANIMAL BEHAVIOR - The Inner Lives of Insects - Bees and other insects are far more cognitively complex than previously thought-a revelation that has wide-ranging ethical implications.

RESOURCES - Underseas Aquifers - Researchers are discovering giant deposits of fresh water below the coastal seafloor that might someday save dry regions from drought. CLIMATE CHANGE - Dangerous Discomfort - Extreme heat kills more people in the U.S. than hurricanes, flash floods and tornadoes combined. But people don't tend to believe it puts them at risk.

Today a craft concoction might be the least sustainable item on the menu.
