People who come down with COVID-19 have been known to experience a variety of symptoms during the infection, including neurological issues like headaches and confusion. But a study from Tulane suggests that COVID might actually cause long-term damage to the brain that lasts long after recovery.
Tracy Fischer, professor of microbiology and immunology at the Tulane School of Medicine, tells us about her research into the long-term impacts of COVID-19 on the brain.
In March 2021, a Senate resolution designated April as National Native Plant Month. It aimed to recognize the benefits that native plants have on the environment and economy of the United States.
But what exactly are those benefits? Lee Rouse of the Bayou Tree Service tells us about all the advantages of using native plants, and which Louisiana plants we should include in our spring gardens.
