Hey, Russ. Can you make an article about the Napoleonic Wars?
Jesus
Hey there! Thanks for your cool suggestion! The Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) were a group of conflicts that took place in Europe after Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power in France. It was an important period of time in European history. I'll take a closer look to see what we can do! Is there anything specific about that period that you'd like to read about?

Hey, Russ. How long did COVID last for?
Blaise
Hey, Blaise! COVID-19 hasn't actually gone away completely. It's still possible to catch the disease! However, we now have a better understanding of the coronavirus. We also have more tools to fight it, like vaccines. A group called the World Health Organization (WHO) said COVID-19 was a pandemic in March 2020. More than three years later, in May 2023, the WHO announced the end of the "global health emergency."

Hi, do you have any information about x-rays? If you do, can you tell me? Thank you.
Frances
Hi! I do have some information about x-rays! X-rays work by sending energy through a material like tissues in the human body. Different tissues absorb different amounts of this energy. So, when a special machine takes a photo of the body, the tissues appear in different shades and brightness of white.
