The reintroduction of 32 bobcats to an island off the coast of Georgia more than three decades ago created an ideal experiment to examine the accuracy of a genetic-modeling technique that predicts extinction of isolated wildlife populations.
That s the conclusion of Penn State researchers who continue to monitor the bobcat population on Cumberland Island National Seashore, and who conducted a study comparing and contrasting the Cumberland Island bobcats to a population of bobcats on Kiawah Island off the coast of South Carolina.
Some therapists say virtual visits should last beyond the pandemic
Sheldon Krause
Lansing As countless Americans face pandemic-related mental health struggles, many Michigan therapists and psychologists say the practice of “teletherapy,” or virtual counseling, is an adequate substitute that greatly expands accessibility.
Some experts also say that while many people may experience no lasting negative mental health effects once the pandemic is over, insurance companies may not continue to support the expansion of teletherapy.
Teletherapy as a practice is just what it sounds like therapy conducted virtually, often over the phone, FaceTime or Zoom.
As with many traditional activities, COVID-19 made most in-person counseling either unsafe or legally restricted.
