Biologists at the University of Massachusetts have identified what may be the loudest birds in the world, according to a report from WBUR. The finding draws attention to the remarkable acoustic capabilities of these species and adds to research on animal sound production. Details about the specific birds and how their calls were measured have not yet been widely reported.

National Book Award-winning author Elizabeth Acevedo is the subject of a new interview from WBUR, in which she reflects on the idea that 'anger is only a shadow.' The conversation touches on her writing and the emotions that shape her work, drawing attention from readers of her acclaimed young adult novels.
