Social distancing not only helped slow the spread of COVID-19 it also may have prevented the transmission of an outbreak of a rare polio-like syndrome, according to Princeton University researchers.
Though uncommon, acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is a critical spinal condition that causes weakness in the limbs, seriously diminishes motor function, and can lead to lifelong disabilities. The syndrome was first reported in the United States in 2012 and has been coming back every two years, hinting it could strike again in 2020.
Using epidemiological surveillance tools, the researchers showed that an AFM outbreak was likely to occur in 2020, but social distancing prevented its spread.

A recent analysis of the latest generation of climate models known as a CMIP6 provides a cautionary tale on interpreting climate simulations as scientists develop more sensitive and sophisticated projections of how the Earth will respond to increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Researchers at Princeton University and the University of Miami reported that newer models with a high climate sensitivity meaning they predict much greater global warming from the same levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide as other models do not provide a plausible scenario of Earth s future climate.
