No. 5
Julia Fae: “Originally it was just the octopus.”
There’s a special meaning behind each of Julia Fae’s tattoos. She got her
first one when she was just 16 years old.
Julia: “It’s this K right here. It stands for my father’s first name Ken.”
While body modifications like tattoos and piercings have become widely
accepted, the American Academy of Pediatrics says young people need to
carefully weigh the potential consequences.
Dr. Corinn Cross: “Teens tend to overestimate the ease and the ability to re-
move the tattoo and they underestimate the cost.”

No. 6
AAP spokesperson Dr. Corinn Cross says teens and parents need to do their
homework to avoid risks like infections. The AAP says it’s important to
choose a salon that’s sterile and regulated by the state. Also make sure your
immunizations are up to date. And know the law. Some states prohibit teens
from getting body modifications. Others require parental consent.
Dr. Cross: “A place that is willing to tattoo a child or a minor without get-
ting consent is not a reputable place.”
Eleven years after her initial ink, Julia has this advice for young people.
Julia: “It’s gonna be forever and not just the symbol on your body is gonna
be forever but the memories of how you got it.”
So she says to take your time.

No. 7
The news last year that the giant panda had been taken off the endangered
list made headlines around the world. Wild panda numbers were finally re-
covering after years of decline. But the panda’s still vulnerable to extinction
with destruction of forests seen as its biggest threat. In a new study, sci-
entists used satellite imagery to assess changes in suitable panda habitat
over the last four decades. Professor Stuart Pimm of Duke University says
the forests where the panda lives have been divided into ever smaller frag-
ments by roads, settlements and logging.
Professor Stuart Pimm: “What’s new in the study is our ability to assess the
status of the giant panda by using remote-sensing satellite imagery and then
use that information to come up with recommendations of how better to
manage this iconic threatened species.”
About 1,800 giant pandas are left in the wild. Researchers say its future
rests on expanding nature reserves and protecting what habitat remains.
