Some Myotis bats can live 50 years while close relatives live just 7; sequencing eight species found longevity genes overlapping with cancer and virus defenses
Researchers comparing eight closely related Myotis species found an extraordinary range of lifespans, from about seven years in some species to nearly 50 years in others. Some Myotis species live only around seven years, while others can reach nearly 50. The researchers found that Myotis bats have an unusually large number of genes encoding proteins that interact with DNA viruses, including herpes viruses. Rather than showing the same genome-wide enrichment, Myotis bats displayed greater copy number variation in genes involved in RNA virus interactions. Myotis species may have evolved a balance that controls infections while reducing damage to their own tissues.Not all Myotis bats age the same wayThe genus contains many species, and their lifespans differ considerably.

Connecticut plans to turn contaminated 66-acre mill site into riverside park
New Milford plans to redevelop a former brass mill site into a municipal campus. This project includes a new fire-training tower assembled from shipping containers. The town acquired the contaminated property after a lengthy legal dispute. Moving public works will also free up land for a riverside park. This transformation reclaims industrial land for public use and green space.

A Connecticut brass mill closed in 1986 and left behind a contaminated 66-acre site; 40 years later the town plans to turn it into a public works campus while converting its old yard into a riverside
The tower is proposed for the former Century Brass Mill property on Scovill Street, where the town plans to eventually build a 60,000-square-foot public works complex. The mill closed in 1986, leaving behind a large industrial property that would spend decades caught between environmental cleanup, demolition and redevelopment efforts.The site was contaminated with substances including PCBs and asbestos. The state’s Appellate Court later upheld the town’s victory and sent the question of additional damages back for further consideration. Firefighters would use the structure for smoke-filled training exercises, giving the town a practical facility while work toward the larger campus continues. The proposal still requires consideration by New Milford’s Zoning Commission.The redevelopment also shows how complicated the afterlife of an industrial property can be.

Renowned interior designer Dorothy Draper designed the building’s grand lobby, helping establish Hampshire House as a prestigious address. Chad Roffers, chief executive and co-founder of Concierge Auctions, said the result showed the value of using a clear and competitive auction process for rare properties.
