Hi All: I look forward to our convening later today. Hope everyone drinks a bit of extra coffee for those tired folks who celebrated the hawks victory accordingly! Given we'll be reviewing Chapter 10 additions, I wanted to include some literature regarding noise impacts on human health. This article below, and subsequent link to the study itself published in 2022, highlights the dangers on the developing brain to noise pollution for school children. I've also linked an article on impacts on noise pollution to finches and reproduction. As I made those suggestions for noise pollution protections at the last section of this chapter, I had these articles top of mind. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jun/02/traffic-noise-slows-childrens-memory-development-study-finds https://www.science.org/content/article/traffic-noise-causes-lifelong-harm-baby-birds With gratitude, Brian Brian Antonio Muegge (Pronounced "MEG-e") Gonzaga University 16' - Go Zags!
