Someone needs blood every two seconds in the U.S. More than half of the population is eligible to donate blood, yet only 3% do. This January, during National Blood Donor Month, I invite you to change that by becoming a blood donor. I’ve seen the need firsthand in my work at San Diego Blood Bank over the past 25 years.

Here we tested the hypothesis that the time since land-use transition (age of frontier) and agricultural intensification also drive changes in the region’s fire regimes by reducing fire probability in both drought and non-drought years.
