Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to others*
Health: (and Politics, to some extent) Gizmodo reports that the Centers for Disease Control tell us that more parents are finding excuses for not having their kids vaccinated.
Science:
Gizmodo
reports that some
viruses enter host cells, with the (unwitting) help of other kinds of viruses.
Quanta
Magazine reports on how
we perceive small numbers of objects (1-4), and it's not the same
way we perceive greater numbers of objects.
IFLScience
reports that a
yeast organism with artificial DNA is functional and alive.
A Conversation writer discusses treatment for concussions and other brain injury.
Sports: (and Finance, and Education) The Guardian complains about our priorities -- Texas A&M's football coach has been fired, but is to get 77 million dollars for not coaching. Education in Texas (and elsewhere) is seriously underfunded.
