One pill can kill. A local organization went to Desert View High School to talk to the students about the dangers of drugs and how lethal even a small amount of fentanyl can be.
TUCSON, Ariz. — In Pima County, fentanyl is the top cause of death for people under 20, according to the county’s health department.
The Liberty Partnership Kino Neighborhood Coalition is a local organization that works in South Tucson to educate children and young adults about the dangers of substance use.Their latest topic of conversation: fentanyl.One pill can kill—or to put it into perspective, just 10 to 15 grains of table salt is equivalent to the two milligrams of fentanyl that’s considered lethal.
Desert View High School student, Asha Osman, said people on social media will post about where to buy drugs. Organizations like LPKNC said they will continue to educate the community that one time can cost you your life.

Frontiers | Mechanisms of flower coloring and eco-evolutionary implications of massive blooming events in the Atacama DesertThe Atacama Desert, the driest place on earth, holds a rich biodiversity that becomes most appreciable in years when unusual rainfall accumulation triggers a phenomenon of explosive development of ephemeral herbaceous and woody desert species known as ‘desierto florido’ or ‘blooming desert’. Despite the scientific importance of this unique phenomenon only few studies have addressed the mechanisms of flower phenotypic divergence under the fluctuating environment provided by this recurrent event. We investigated the mechanisms of floral color diversity in Cistanthe longiscapa (Montiaceae), a dominant species across the ephemeral blooming landscape of Atacama Desert. Our analyses show that the variation in colors of C. longiscapa flowers result from petals containing betalain pigments with different absorption spectra. The different pigment composition of petals causes flower color differences in the visible and UV range of the spectrum. Through color vision models we show that C. longiscapa flowers are highly polymorphic in their color appearance for insect pollinators. Our results highlight the variable nature in flower color of C. longiscapa varieties blooming simultaneously in a geographical restricted area. Given the importance of color in attracting floral visitors, the observed color variability could contribute to increased cross pollination in extreme desert conditions, while accounting for complex and fluctuating histories of plant-pollinator interactions.
