/The items below were ‘the cream’ of the articles I read this past week. Click on the light green text to look at the article.
The Cancer Tradeoff - Robert Austin argues that cancer is a natural consequence of our rapid evolution
Dinosaur Embryo Graveyard - From southern China
Like People, Bees Learn From Watching One Another
Breathtaking Photos of Colorful Rock Formations in China - Vibrantly colored exposed rock layers
Plant DNA Largely Unchanged - We have a tulip tree at the edge of the forest in our backyard….and it is pretty much the same as trees that grew in the time of dinosaurs!
Nanoparticle Disguised as a Blood Cell Fights Bacterial Infection - An idea about what comes after antibiotics for bacterial infections….something completely different
Breathtaking Photos of China's "River of Poems and Paintings" - Seems like China is a theme for this week….this is the second gleaning about that country
Research Aims to Settle Debate Over Origin of Yellowstone Volcano - Mantle plumes near subduction zones are more complex that the previous models depicted
Light Paintings Created with LED Wakeboards - Even the photographs show the motion of the athletes…but watch the video too to understand how much work went into the production.
Snowcano - Volcano on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula…and I see that ‘volcanoes’ is another theme for this week although Yellowstone and Kamchatka are quite different.
