The Life of Brian … and David: Two Flying-Foxes' Contribution to Science. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis Nature Note examines whether thumb bands and surgically implanted temperature transmitters adversely affect the welfare of free‐living grey‐headed flying‐foxes. Long‐term monitoring and necropsy findings from two males, Brian and David, suggest negligible impacts of these procedures on individual welfare. Although based on only two cases, the rare

“Selfie”-related electrocution
Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology, 2019 Electrical injuries contribute a small but significant fraction to all burn trauma cases, and an even smaller proportion to those that are lethal. Accidental death rates among teenagers are the highest of all age-groups, and taking a "selfie" has been a practice that has, on rare occasions, led to such a death, often from electrocution.
