Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to others*:
Education: Grammarphobia discusses grandparents, grandparent's and grandparents.
Environment: A Conversation writer says that one way to alleviate the water shortage crisis in the US southwest would be to have cities pay farmers to use more efficient ways of getting water to their crops, eliminating much of the evaporation that uses the water supply inefficiently.
Health: I am not making this up. Gizmodo reports that some scientists are recommending that a sample of fecal material be stored when a person is young (can be frozen), so that restoration of the base-line intestinal inhabitants can be accomplished. Some fecal organisms contribute significantly to our health.
Science: Gizmodo reports that orcas (killer whales) have become predators of great white sharks, off of the coast of Africa.
A stored water lily seed has been determined to be a separate species, with leaf diameter up to 3.2 meters, according to a report by Gizmodo.
