Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Education: Grammarphobia tells us about roads and rivers that branch -- both branches are called "forks," not "tines."
Health: (or something) National Public Radio reports that having been sexually abused by a priest can lead to issues with dealing with authority figures (such as bosses) and to financial burdens.
Scientific American asks why we haven't cured the common cold yet.
New Scientist reports that probiotics probably don't do much good, and may do harm, in some conditions. See also here.
Gizmodo reports that hot-air hand dryers are not as good at keeping germs down as paper towels.
NPR reports that Alzheimer's may be caused by some infectious agent.
Politics: Slate, and other news sources, report that the Trump administration is not renewing passports for some Hispanic US citizens.
Science: Gizmodo reports on the discovery that a particular kind of shark is an omnivore. (Eating both plants and animals.)
Scientific American and other outlets report that Jocelyn Bell Burnell has received a $3,000,000 prize for the discovery of pulsars.
Earther reports on the discovery of three previously unknown fish species, found in a deep ocean trench.
Thanks for looking!
