And that’s a bad thing.
In an unusual effort targeting a single chemical, several dozen scientists on Thursday issued a strongly worded consensus statement warning that an estrogen-like compound in plastic is likely to be causing an array of serious reproductive disorders in people.
The compound, bisphenol A or BPA, is one of the highest-volume chemicals in […]
Manipulated photos used by the media and touted to be real photographs has popped up again. Here’s a very interesting article about photo-manipulation and anti-anonymity techniques.
This is wild. Puncture or cut a zebrafish’s heart and it will seal itself up and repair the damage.

One way to puzzle out anatomical relationships and make phylogenetic inferences is to study the embryology of the animals.
The striking thing about this research is how one small change at […]
This is a good one. Look at her then look away so she’s in your peripheral vision. If you can get it, she’ll reverse her rotation. How cool is that? (it’s all about spacial reference, and there’s little information since it’s a silhouette)
