Serena

Serena Williams says she would have handled last fall’s U.S. Open controversy differently but she doesn’t regret the lessons she taught her daughter.

The tennis player, 37, opened up about the heated match in a new cover story for Business of Fashion, published on Tuesday.

The championship match in September between Williams and Naomi Osaka, 21, was marred by a verbal altercation between Williams and chair umpire Carlos Ramos, who gave the 23-time Grand Slam champion three separate on-court violations. Williams was penalized for illegal coaching, breaking her racket and verbal abuse, and later suggested that the umpire’s actions were motivated by sexism.

When asked if she regretted how she acted during the situation, Williams responded, “That’s a really loaded question. Do I feel regret for being penalized for something which has never happened in the history of tennis and I didn’t use one single curse word?”

Nitrogen

We already know the naked mole rat is an animal superhero: it is long-lived for an animal of its size, rarely gets cancer and shrugs off some kinds of pain. Now the East African rodent turns out to have a metabolic trick that allows it to survive very low oxygen levels with no apparent ill effects.

To investigate how well naked mole rats (Heterocephalus glaber) tolerate low oxygen concentrations, a team of biologists first put them in a chamber with just 5 per cent oxygen, less than a quarter the amount found in air. Such conditions kill mice within 15 minutes (and we wouldn’t survive either).

But naked mole rats just carry on as normal. The first test was stopped after 5 hours when nothing happened, says Thomas Park at the University of Illinois at Chicago. “We were blown away.”

Next the team put mole rats in pure nitrogen, with no oxygen at all. This kills mice in about a minute. People pass out after a breath or two of pure nitrogen, and would probably die in under 10 minutes.
