Scientists have long warned of the effects of global warming and the possibility of more intense wildfires that burn for longer periods of time. Now, a new team of researchers is hoping to get a better understanding of how the smoke travels and what the tiniest particles could be doing to our lungs. "There's many things we’re still struggling to understand about smoke,” explains Joshua Schwarz, a physicist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The group of researchers includes meteorologists and weather modelers, in addition to scientists. “All together, we are deciding which fires to target," Schwarz says. Amber Soja, with NASA, describes herself as the “fire person” of the group. Every day for the next couple of weeks, this group will create a flight plan, opening the door for another group of scientists inside this flying laboratory. “We've got tremendous range, and we're carrying a tremendous payload of information,” Soja says.This lab was once an Italian passenger airliner. It flies straight into the smoke of fires. "We'll have to look at what's the altitude of the smoke we want to be in, which direction is the smoke going, how far can we track that smoke," Schwarz says.Intake tubes on the outside of the lab bring in smoke particles that will be studied. Researchers are interested in learning how the smoke travels and what it does to our bodies when it’s inhaled. Pete Lahm, with the U.S. Forest Service, says studying the smoke is important because it impacts both public health and safety. “This info will help us make in the long run [make] better decisions on when we ignite fire and how we consider smoke impacts, and that's absolutely critical to our mission,” Lahm says.

Roughly every 90 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted.“I turned around and saw that there was a man behind me, and he was holding a gun to me,” recalled Nataska Alexenko. “He said ‘This is loaded. Do as I say, or I will blow your brains out.’” On August 6, 1993, Alexenko became one of the estimated 600 people who experienced a sexual assault that day in America.“I just couldn’t believe I was still alive,” Alexenko added.Despite the unimaginable trauma, the then-college student found the strength to go to a hospital and have a rape kit done.“You are poked and prodded, evidence is collected from your body after you have just experienced something so horrific,” said Alexenko.Alexenko found comfort in the belief that her kit would be tested immediately. However, that didn’t happen in her case.“I had no idea my rape kit wasn’t tested,” Alexenko explained. “I had no idea until I got a call nine and a half years later.”However, after the kit was tested, her attacker was found. The delay of justice prompted her to look into how common this experience is for other rape victims.“What I found was gut wrenching,” said Alexenko. She found, at the time, there were hundreds of thousands of rape kits sitting in police evidence rooms around the country. Currently, there are still over 100,000 of those rape kits unopened and untested. That number doesn’t include a dozen states that do not report the status of their rape kits. “There is no other type of forensic evidence that remains untested,” said Karen Friedman Agnifilo, the Chief Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan. “It just doesn’t happen. This is the only one.”“There is no excuse not to test rape kits,” said Cyrus Vance, District Attorney in Manhattan.Their office not only apologized to Natasha Alexenko for the delay in her kit being tested, but they made a public commitment to never have a backlog again.New York City’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner began testing rape kits every day, and still does. The city has now become the leader in the national movement known as End the Backlog.New York City was able to end its rape kit backlog in 2003 but went on to provide funding to more than a dozen other states to help end the backlog there. Now, 55,000 rape kits have been tested, leading to hundreds of perpetrators identified.“It is about treating woman as equal in the eyes of the law,” said Vance. “And if you are not testing rape kits, then we are failing woman.”“Hopefully, one day, we will just look back and say, ‘never again’, but it really has to be a national legislative mandate that no kit can remain untested,” said Agnifilo.So far, a federal mandate like that doesn’t exist. “When I meet survivors whose kits haven’t been processed, and you just see the pain that they are feeling, I mean, how can you let them down?” said Alexenko, “How can you do that to someone who has gone through so much and truly just wants to make sure that the person who harmed them doesn’t go on to harm others?”Alexenko has a non-profit now called 3038
