A new study reveals that oil residues can travel over 5,000 miles by hitching a ride on floating ocean debris. This finding implies that oil spills are not just local disasters; toxic hydrocarbons can cross entire ocean basins on plastics, contaminating remote ecosystems far from the source.

Socializing alone: A review of more than 1,000 studies suggests that using technology to communicate with others is better than nothing – but still not as good as face-to-face interactions.
