| Greetings, QuickTake readers! In this edition: Preparing for a possible pandemic, impeachment's end nears, and robots have learned to sweat.  The battle to beat Trump begins After more than a year of wondering, the first real results in the 2020 race will be tallied Monday at the Iowa caucuses. The small Plains state is 90% white and sends just over 1% of all delegates to the national convention, and yet for nearly five decades, Iowa has played host to the U.S.'s first presidential nominating contest. (That quirk dates back to 1972 when the state was pushed to the front of the calendar to fit in its complex process.) Here's how it works: Iowans at 1,683 precincts physically divide themselves into groups over several rounds based on their candidate of choice, with delegate counts based in part on the final headcount. The event is seen as an indicator of candidates' performance in other states, which explains why all eyes—at least for now—are on Iowa: It's first. More: - For the first time, the Democratic Party held international satellite caucuses in Paris and Glasgow, Scotland and Tbilisi, Georgia.
- Since 1972, three candidates have won both the Iowa caucuses and the presidency: Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
- Iowa has about 615,000 registered Democrats and 171,109 voters turned out in the 2016 Democratic caucuses.
$ignificant figures 425. The death toll from the coronavirus outbreak that's infected about 20,438 others, cut off millions of Chinese from their jobs and families and jolted global financial markets. 102 million. That many people watched Super Bowl LIV that crowned Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes MVP, setting him up to rake in $7 million a year in endorsements. 21%. Tesla shares surged Monday to a record $786.14, the biggest one-day gain since 2013, boosting Elon Musk's fortune by billions and catapulting him from the world's 35th-richest person to No. 22. Highly quotable "Purely partisan process." In closing arguments, White House lawyer Patrick Philbin told senators that Trump's acquittal was the impeachment trial's only possible outcome, and Democrats reiterated their own "damning, disturbing and disgraceful" evidence against the president. "Systemic racism." Joaquin Phoenix, upon winning the best actor BAFTA for "Joker, called out the film industry for sending a "very clear message to people of color that you're not welcome here." "An act of making peace." Two Swedish lawmakers nominated Greta Thunberg for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for making "politicians open their eyes to the climate crisis" and taking "action to reduce emissions." This is not normal Harvest harm. Climate change is killing Pakistan's chili industry after fiery temps and scant rain in "Asia's red chili capital" led to a 40% yield drop in 2019, spurring farmers to call on the government to save their livelihoods.  The future is now Better sweaters. Scientists have created a 3D-printed soft muscle that lets robots "sweat" to avoid overheating. It cools non-metal robots by 70 degrees in 30 seconds, enabling them to work for longer periods of time.  What's good Game changer. It's not a cure, but the FDA has greenlit the first drug to treat peanut allergies, which affect roughly 3 million people in the U.S., marking a turning point for the potential of future therapies.
