Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to others*:
Environment:
The Bradford,
or Callery pear (it has other names), though attractive, is an invasive pest, according to a discussion in The Conversation.
Sargasso
weed mats are growing quickly in the Atlantic Ocean, and it's not
clear what should be done, according to The Guardian.
Health: NPR reports that changing
our clocks, as most of us probably did a few days ago, may harm our health.
Science: A mathematician suggests that, in addition to pi day (March 14) we celebrate e day, the golden ration day, and perhaps other useful mathematical concepts and constants.
A writer for The Conversation discusses how bees learn the dancing language that points other bees to external resources.
The Scientist reports that a wiring
diagram for the brain of a larval fruit fly has been developed. It's complicated.
Thanks for reading.
