The 17-Year Secret: How Cicadas Keep Perfect Time #cicadas #nature #worldtechnology

Every 17 years, millions of cicadas emerge in perfect unison, guided by a biological countdown deep underground. Dr. Chris Simon has spent decades uncovering how these insects use gene expression to track time, making them nature’s living clockwork. Cicadas are more than just a spectacle—they feed ecosystems, enrich soil, inspire art, and serve as environmental messengers. Their synchronized emergence helps scientists understand climate change and the health of our planet. Celebrate Dr. Simon’s groundbreaking work and the incredible story of Brood XIV.
