Today’s NYT Mini Crossword Answers for Friday, July 4
Here are the answers for The New York Times Mini Crossword for July 4.
Rainforest deaths are surging and scientists just found the shocking cause
Tropical trees are dying faster than ever, and it’s not just heat or drought to blame. Scientists have uncovered a surprising culprit: ordinary thunderstorms. These quick, fierce storms, powered by climate change, are toppling trees with intense winds and lightning, sometimes causing more damage than drought itself. The discovery is reshaping how we understand rainforest health and carbon storage, as storms may be responsible for up to 60% of tree deaths in some regions. Researchers now warn that failing to account for this hidden force could undermine forest conservation and climate models alike.
Parkinson’s reversal? One drug brings dying brain cells back to life
Stanford researchers discovered that dialing down an overactive enzyme, LRRK2, can regrow lost cellular “antennae” in key brain cells, restoring vital dopamine communication and neuroprotective signals in a mouse model of genetic Parkinson’s. After three months on the LRRK2-blocking drug MLi-2, damaged circuits revived and early signs of neuronal recovery emerged, hinting that timely treatment could not only halt but reverse disease progression—and perhaps benefit other Parkinson’s forms.
Ninja’s clever FrostVault cooler is cheaper than ever at Amazon
It’s officially cooler season. Maybe you’re going to the beach or up to camp. Or perhaps you just want to hang around in the backyard without constantly going inside for a cold drink. Ninja’s FrostVault cooler is a great way to keep things chilly. Unlike typical coolers, it features a drawer at the bottom that keeps items cold and dry simultaneously. No more soggy hot dogs or sandwiches from sitting on top of the ice. Right now, Amazon has these coolers at their lowest prices ever before the 4th of July. Go grab one and keep yourself hydrated without making your lunch all mushy.
Ninja | Cooler | FrostVault 65QT Cooler with Wheels — $265 (was $349)
You’ll never run out of beverages with this cooler.
Ninja
I have been using a version of this cooler for about a year, and I’m shocked at how much of a difference the dry drawer makes. The 65-quart model is the biggest in the line, and it fits a massive 97 cans without ice or 54 chilled cans with ice. That’s enough for any serious tailgate party. The burly built-in wheels and extending handle make it easy to transport, and the rugged sides can take serious abuse. Three inches of insulation in the walls seriously bottle in cold air to keep ice frozen for days on end. This is a cooler that will last a long time.
Ninja | Cooler | FrostVault 45QT Cooler with Wheels — $236 (was $299)
The middle capacity is a good compromise if you’re limited on space.
Ninja
The middle storage option has enough storage for 68 cans without ice or 40 cans with a full load of ice. It still offers built-in wheels and a chunky handle to make it easy to lug. Plus, you get the same robust insulation.
Ninja | Cooler | FrostVault 30QT Cooler with Wheels — $217 (was $279)
The cube-like form factor makes this model easy to fit in a typical car.
Ninja
The smallest model in the lineup offers enough space inside to accommodate 48 cans by themselves or up to 28 cans with a full pack of ice. You could also just fill it completely with cold cuts and make a truly epic sub next time you go camping. The sky really is the limit.
