WASHINGTON, D.C. – Amid the bright orchids of the U.S. Botanic Garden sits a 200-year history of protecting America’s most fragile plants.“We're a living repository for rare and endangered plants,” said Saharah Moon Chapotin, director of the garden.The U.S. Botanic Garden is the oldest one in the country, an idea envisioned by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. It’s about to celebrate its 200th year. About 60,000 plants, lying within several acres in the heart of Washington, D.C.Conservation at the garden is always in season.“Many of our plants are rare and endangered and we are providing a home for them,” Chapotin said.Here in the U.S. there are 1,300 species that are considered threatened or endangered. Nearly 20 percent of those are plants adding up to hundreds of flora on the brink.Some already fell off the cliff, like Hawaii’s “Cabbage on a Stick.” Because of overdevelopment, the insect that pollinated it disappeared and in 2014, the plant went extinct in the wild, too.There are others endangered, too, like a cactus from Arizona and bushes which are native to Florida. Endangered plants don’t always get the kind of attention endangered animals do.“Often people do think about animals they have faces and they're sort of cute,” USBG deputy director Susan Pell. “So, we kind of think people generally can sort of sympathize with them a little bit more, than maybe with a plant that they're not familiar with.”At the garden, they emphasize how much plants are tied to the habitat of endangered animals, at risk from invasive species, development and climate change.“They're really interconnected and so I think plants are a fundamental part of conserving environment and conserving habitats,” Chapotin said. “And if you just focus on conserving the animals you're leaving out a huge part of the equation in terms of the plants.”That all adds up to a continuing mission of saving plants there in the hopes of one day taking those that are now extinct outside the walls and reintroducing them back to Mother Nature. 2049

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has announced that Vice President Mike Pence will be “in charge” of the administration’s response to the coronavirus outbreak. Trump made the announcement Wednesday during a press conference with officials from the Centers Disease Control and Prevention. During the presser, the president said the United States is “very, very ready” for whatever the new coronavirus threat brings. Trump assured the public that the risk to Americans is “very low” and that his task force is effectively handling the outbreak. That’s despite the CDC saying the day before that it seems inevitable that the virus will begin to spread in U.S. communities.Trump also addressed the negotiations over the funding that will be allocated to combat the virus. Originally, the White House requested .5 billion, but lawmakers are calling for much more. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has asked for .5 billion. Wednesday, Trump indicated that he’d be open to more spending.“We’re going to spend whatever’s appropriate,” Trump told reporters. Dr. Anne Schuchat, the principal deputy director of the CDC, also spoke during the presser. She said the government’s aggressive containment strategy has been working and it’s responsible for the low levels of cases in U.S. so far. However, she said officials do expect more cases and it’s a good time to prepare. “As you heard, it’s the perfect time for businesses, health care systems, universities and schools to look at their pandemic preparedness plans,” said Schuchat. “Dust them off and make sure they’re ready.” 1594

Video games allow us to let go and play in someone else's world for a while.At the Smithsonian American Art Museum's recent video game convention, one game is getting a lot of attention for combining beautiful graphics with the ugliness of war. The game is called Brukel and it tells the story of World War II through the eyes of someone who lived it.“This whole thing is obviously a labor of love,” one gamer said of Brukel. “It’s obviously very personal to the creator.”The creator is Bob DeSchutter, an award-winning video game developer and a college professor at Miami University. “In the game, you go in there and you have your cellphone with you,” he says. “You can take pictures of everything, and if you take pictures of an object, you hear my grandma talk about it.”De Schutter traveled to Belgium to have his 93-year-old grandmother, Bie Verlinden, narrate this video game. Verlinden is also the game’s hero, and players shoot a camera instead of a gun. It took De Schutter five years of coding to create Brukel, and the finished product has both his critics' and grandma’s approval.“She’s like, ‘Oh, wow! This looks exactly the way it was,’” De Schutter says about his grandmother’s reaction to the video game. “I’m obviously very happy about that.”The game is also gaining positive attention among parents, who say they are happy to have their children play this game. “It’s a different spin from Fortnite, from Madden and all the other games that they play,” says parent Shaunice Morris. “Now, they’re able to play the game and have fun playing the video game, but also learn while in the process.”It's learning that includes life lessons that span countries and cultures, coming from a woman who lived through war and is now able to share her stories across generations through gaming. 1812
