Monkeypox has caused frustration and anxiety among gay and bisexual men in New York City. Many are furious at the government’s missteps in its effort to contain the virus, including delayed vaccines. Some are anxious that [monkeypox could be twisted into a political weapon](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkxY1wP0TqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wNy8yOC9ueXJlZ2lvbi9nYXktbWVuLW1vbmtleXBveC1oZWFsdGgtY3Jpc2lzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMjA3MjgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9Njc4NjUmbmw9ZXZlbmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9OTk4MzImdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmLgcAjjYh0lG2dSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), echoing the discrimination during the early years of the AIDS crisis. “We have been forced to fight for our own health care when we got let down by the government,” Erik Bottcher, a city councilman, said at a protest against the government’s response. “Shame on the government for letting us down again.” Here’s how to [get a monkeypox vaccine in the city](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkxY1wP0TUaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vYXJ0aWNsZS9tb25rZXlwb3gtdmFjY2luZS1ueWMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIyMDcyOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD02Nzg2NSZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD05OTgzMiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYuBwCONiHSUbZ1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).

Scientists studied these mushrooms in Alerce Costero National Park in Chile.Tomas Munita for The New York Times 7. Hiding beneath our feet are mysterious fungal networks that could help fight climate change. Scientists have set out to map them on a global scale. As some of the first life-forms on the planet, fungi helped create soil and the world as we know it. [Researchers are focusing on mycorrhizal fungi](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkxY1wP0TqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMi8wNy8yNy9jbGltYXRlL2NsaW1hdGUtY2hhbmdlLWZ1bmdpLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMjA3MjgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9Njc4NjUmbmw9ZXZlbmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9OTk4MzImdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmLgcAjjYh0lG2dSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), a type that clings to roots and has a symbiotic relationship with plants. By one estimate, five billion tons of carbon flow from plants to mycorrhizal fungi each year, keeping it from heating up the Earth’s atmosphere. The data researchers collect will signal which mycorrhizal fungi species are sequestering so much carbon. Fungi have helped trees adapt on a millennial scale and could be “levers,” as one biologist put it, to address a warming climate. What’s the deal with water bottles and comedians? 8. You can tell a lot about a comedian from their water vessel. Jerry Seinfeld has an elegant glass next to a sleek label-less bottle in his most recent special. Ali Wong uses a stylish, extra tall bottle. Hasan Minhaj puts two bottles on top of the stool.

More than 400 beagles were released last week and are now settling into new homes. Many of them don’t have names yet, just tattoos with numbers inside of their ears. Some are seeing grass for the first time. The remaining 3,600 were expected to be released to shelters, rescues, foster owners and adoptive families in the next two months.
