Very long-chain n-3 fatty acids and human health: fact, fiction and the future
EPA and DHA appear to be the most important n-3 fatty acids, but roles for n-3 docosapentaenoic acid are now also emerging. Intakes of EPA and DHA are usually low, typically below those recommended. Increased intakes result in higher concentrations of EPA and DHA in blood lipids, cells and tissues. Increased content of EPA and DHA modifies the structure of cell membranes and the function of membrane proteins. EPA and DHA modulate the production of lipid mediators and through effects on cell signalling can alter the patterns of gene expression. Through these mechanisms, EPA and DHA alter cell and tissue responsiveness in a way that often results in more optimal conditions for growth, development and maintenance of health. DHA has vital roles in brain and eye development and function. EPA and DHA have a wide range of physiological roles, which are linked to certain health or clinical benefits, particularly related to CVD, cancer, inflammation and neurocognitive function. The benefits of EPA and DHA are evident throughout the life course. Future research will include better identification of the determinants of variation of responses to increased intake of EPA and DHA; more in-depth dose–response studies of the effects of EPA and DHA; clearer identification of the specific roles of EPA, docosapentaenoic acid and DHA; testing strategies to enhance delivery of n-3 fatty acids to the bloodstream; and exploration of sustainable alternatives to fish-derived very long-chain n-3 fatty acids.

Cli-Fi Cartographies/Future Catastrophes: Social Justice and Tumultuous Unmoorings in Contemporary Caribbean Short Fiction
Recently published, politically engaged Caribbean climate fiction (cli-fi) represents an important example of this turn towards optimism and of art that \"envision [s] alternative futures.\" [...]all these stories employ the same strategy to achieve their vision, a dialectical conversation between humans and sea creatures (and other non-human animals) that occurs through bodily transformation and thereby points to the imperative of multispecies justice. Fix is a project of the non-profit media company Grist; both are supported by the NRDG (Natural Resources Defense Council), a well-known environmental non-profit advocacy group based in the United States that focuses on protecting the environment, public health, and natural resources through advocacy, research, and legal action. Nair's is of particular relevance to these three works of climate fiction because she elucidates the multiple dimensions of human-animal interactions in film and literature-taking cues from the tiger in Life of Pi, the birds in Hitchcock's The Birds, and the primates in Planet

Work it out wombats!. Episode 5, The mighty Zeke
Work It Out Wombats! follows a playful trio of marsupial siblings -- Malik, Zadie, and Zeke -- who live with their grandmother (named Super!) in a fantastical treehouse apartment complex. The Treeborhood is home to a diverse and quirky community of neighbors who just happen to be wombats, snakes, moose, kangaroos, iguanas, fish, tarsiers, and eagles! Each day drops a new challenge into the Wombats' laps, requiring them to find, debug, fix, order (then re-order) -- and create, test, and re-create when things don't go according to plan. But thanks to their creativity and collaborative spirit, their sense of family, and the role they play within the larger Treeborhood community -- as problem-solvers, friends, and neighbors -- the Wombats always win the day. Episode 5: Zadie and Malik hope a cape, mask, and super strength gloves will help Zeke overcome his fear of riding a two-wheeler. The Wombats are invited to the Fishmans' Fish Shower. But what sort of gift should they create?
