To find out, researchers set out to make people sick.

As a dark-green, leafy vegetable, kale is not only one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet—it may also help fight off infection. Japanese researchers tried dripping

While regular physical activity improves immune function and lowers respiratory infection risk, sustained and intense exertion may have the opposite effect. As you go from inactive to active, infection risk declines, but at a certain point, overtraining and excessive stress can increase the risk of infection by impairing immune function.57 In the weeks following marathons or ultramarathons, runners report a two- to sixfold increase in upper-respiratory-tract infections.

They had spoken to him of this fear in a thousand conversations over the years, the dread that infected their lives so that every setback, every difficulty— the lost job, the drug-addicted child, the failed marriage— was the result, not of life's uncertainty or human frailty, but of a dark power being wielded against them.

If a sample of soil is diluted, mixed with bacteria, and spread on agar, the phages will dot the culture with plaques after 24 hours of incubation. These plaques may be initiated by more than one phage, and the students engage in further rounds of isolation and bacterial infection to ensure that they have purified single phages. After many more steps in this lengthy procedure, the students purify and sequence the phage DNA, and can submit their sequences to an online database.
