“White-throated sparrows have four chromosomally distinct sexes that pair up in fascinating ways
P.S. Nature is amazing
P.P.S. Sex is not binary”
“White-throated sparrows have 2 sexes with 4 unique chromosome combinations. There are still just 2 sexes that produce either sperm or eggs.”
“When neuropsychologist Bernhard Sabel put his new fake-paper detector to work, he was ‘shocked’ by what it found. After screening some 5000 papers, he estimates up to 34% of neuroscience papers published in 2020 were likely made up or plagiarized; in medicine, the figure was 24%.”
“Once the sweat had been collected, researchers recruited 48 women, all of whom suffered from social anxiety, and divided them into three groups each of 16 people. Over two days, they all underwent mindfulness therapy for social anxiety. At the same time, each group was exposed to the odour samples or to clean air.”
“The longest-necked dinosaur on record was a Jurassic beast with a 49.5-foot-long (15.1 meters) neck, a new study finds. That’s more than six times the length of a giraffe’s neck and about 10 feet (3 m) longer than the length of a school bus.”
“Since Neptune’s discovery in 1846, several astronomers had suggested the existence of yet another planet based on apparent irregularities in the orbit of Uranus.”
History of Pluto ☞ Lowell
“In 2014, he managed to revive a virus he and his team isolated from the permafrost, making it infectious for the first time in 30,000 years by inserting it into cultured cells. For safety, he’d chosen to study a virus that could only target single-celled amoebas, not animals or humans.”
“In a new study of daily ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) across the globe, a new study has found that only 0.18% of the global land area and 0.001% of the global population are exposed to levels of PM2.5 — the world’s leading environmental health risk factor — below levels of safety recommended by Word Health Organization (WHO).”
“There are also technical issues to consider. Clocks run faster on the moon than on Earth, gaining about 56 microseconds each day, the space agency said. Further complicating matters, ticking occurs differently on the lunar surface than in lunar orbit.”
“More than sixty scientists from prominent institutions are advocating for rigorous study into reflecting sunlight away from the Earth to mitigate the effects of climate change. None of the scientists are endorsing the strategy, which is sometimes referred to as “solar geoengineering” and could have significant negative side effects.”
“The dodo is the third animal along with the mammoth and Tasmanian tiger, that Colossal Biosciences hopes to bring back from the dead.”
“This is a bizarre study. It concludes ‘The clinical features of monkeypox in women and non-binary individuals were similar to those described in men’ 47% of the women were male. It is hardly surprising they had clinical feature similar to men.”
“Counting Hong Kong and Macau along with China, the Chinese were responsible for 33 percent of the debris studied, Japan 35 percent, South Korea 15 percent, the United States five percent, and Taiwan three percent. Much of the debris was sourced by simply considering the writing and brand logos on plastic items.”
Comment: “Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on?”
“Researchers have been experimenting with using ultrasonic sound waves—well past the threshold of human hearing—to make objects float for quite a few years now.”
“They recreated 50 experiments, the type of preliminary research with mice and test tubes that sets the stage for new cancer drugs. The results reported Tuesday: About half the scientific claims didn’t hold up.”
