Science: Fire
ants can sting. I knew that, from experience. But NPR reports
that there are people who are allergic to the bites, which can be life-threatening. There's also a link to a news report that a South
Carolina high school football game was postponed because there were too many fire ant nests on the field. (See here
for my own photo of a fire ant nest.)
NPR also reports on a very
scary "superbug," a bacterial type that is resistant to almost
everything, and can pass that resistance on to other types of bacteria.
Scientists have been
able to get human glial cells (see Wikipedia
article on those) to grow
in mouse brains, according to a report by NPR. These mice acted
normally, as far as could be determined, but were able to learn much more quickly.
NPR also reports that bees
like caffeine, and that it helps their memory.
