It’s surprising how many animals can act weirdly human. From territorial chimps to extroverted orcas, Live Science points us to 32 such animals that demonstrate humanlike behavior. https://flip.it/WyuSD1 #Science#Animals#Humans
Last year, data from the James Webb Space Telescope soured hopes that TRAPPIST-1 c had an atmosphere that could support life. But recent results have revived those earlier atmospheric hopes. Read more from Big Think. https://flip.it/ClyATt #Science#Space#JWST
Mesmerising microbes: bacteria as you’ve never seen it before – in pictures
“As a side hustle he manipulates and photographs the microbial world; his images are collected in a book, Beautiful Bacteria. Taking bacteria from substances such as wastewater, dental plaque or kimchi, Danino lets them multiply in a petri dish, adding dyes. The results are artworks differing from the digital enhancements often made in scientific photography to make images more informative.”
The low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet comes with promises of weight loss, but a new study says it also has some serious health risks. In mice, a keto diet increases the buildup of zombie-like cells in the heart, kidneys, lungs and brain, which can accelerate organ aging and other health problems.

With extreme weather impacting all parts of the world, Climate Change isn’t going away anytime soon. These magazines keep us informed of the ongoing crisis, from the latest solutions like renewable energy to fighting misinformation, and beyond.
Climate Change: From stories about scaling up renewable energy to pioneering work in solar fuels to carbon capture and storage technologies, this magazine covers the burgeoning global shift to low-carbon economies. @climate-change-AnthropoceneMag
Climate Change and Weather Misinformation: As the United States constantly battles natural disasters — from hurricanes to fires, and more — authorities are also fighting misinformation that is affecting their ability to do their jobs. Here, we will share links to articles about the falsehoods. @climate-change-and-weather-mis

Millennia ago, Neanderthals and humans met, mingled and mated. And your health may depend on DNA from these long-lost ancestors. Live Science explains how "in some places in our genome, we're more Neanderthal than we are human.” https://flip.it/qiJdOD #Science#Humans#Neanderthal#Health#History
Climate Change presents a range of dire environmental and health challenges. Add brain disease to the list. New research shows that as weather conditions worsen, certain brain diseases — stroke, migraines, meningitis, even Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s — follow suit.

There’s a new playbook being written right now when it comes to the future of social media. The early-mover advantage is still in effect, and there’s a lot to figure out. Gone are opaque algorithms and the whims of any single company.
The fediverse represents a chance for quality journalism to shine again.
We talked to two leaders at fedi-forward publications — @TheConversationUS's @BostonAbrams, and @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler — about why they’re investing in the open social web, what they’ve learned so far, and their advice for other publishers just getting started.
After years of searching, astronomers have finally detected an atmosphere on a rocky planet around another star.
But what a strange planet it is! 55 Cancri e seems to be blanketed in carbon dioxide gas bubbling out of a global ocean of lava. Like an image out of Dante's Inferno.
"Analysis of authenticated locks clipped from Ludwig von Beethoven’s prodigious head of hair as he lay dying has found astronomically high levels of lead, arsenic and mercury. The poisoning was so severe, it may explain the symptoms that plagued him at the end of his life."
More than five million people are bitten by snakes every year, resulting in thousands of deaths and permanent disabilities. Those chilling statistics didn’t stop one PhD student, João Miguel Alves-Nunes, from stepping on deadly and dangerous vipers more than 40,000 times. Alven-Nunes tells Science about putting himself in danger for a scientific experiment, what happened when one snake’s fangs broke through his protective boot, and why even that harrowing experience won’t diminish his love for "working with these animals." https://flip.it/zRaVCF#Science#Animals#Snakes#Health
Wow 300 images captured by Curiosity to build a panoramic survey at her Sol 4175 location, ten days ago. This video shows them at a rate of 10/second. It took about 50 minutes for the rover to complete this scan with her left mast camera.

When we look at the night sky, the sky looks lonely and clean, but the reality is that space is not empty at all
