19 分钟Hi, I'm Clara Moskowitz, Senior Editor for Space and Physics at Scientific American.
Like many kids, I once dreamed of becoming an astronaut.
While I never made it to space, my work at Scientific American has given me the next best thing,
exploring the cosmos through stories and sharing its wonders with science lovers like you.
When I research a story, I immerse myself in the reporting to bring you an exciting and accurate account.
Over the years, I've covered breathtaking rocket launches,
visited one of the world's highest altitude telescopes in Chile, and even trained for suborbital spaceflight.
Space is vast, beautiful, and full of the unexpected.
Taking a moment to look beyond our daily routines and reflect on its mysteries can be a powerful escape.
Join me on this journey of discovery.

Research suggests
that anywhere from roughly a quarter to more than a third of people with a vagina will contract bacterial vaginosis,
or BV, at least once in their lifetimes.
It involves an imbalance in the microbes that grow in the vagina,
with pathogenic streams beating out healthier bacteria.
It's not usually a serious condition,
but it can put people at higher risk for contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
Now, some researchers are arguing that BV itself should be treated like an STI.
