White-crowned sparrows in San Francisco are singing louder in 2011 than they did in 1969 and reachers say its because they need to compete with more traffic congestion which has caused loud driving conditions to
Large Hadron Collider Breaks Energy Record While Slamming Protons Together
Physicists working on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) set an energy record last month and now they’ve done it again, colliding protons at 8 Tera-electronvolts (TeV), power output they believe is bringing them closer to the Higgs boson.
The move forward is a huge jump and was announced by CERN on April 5. The agency wrote:
“the LHC shift crew declared ‘stable beams’ as two 4 TeV proton beams
Diabetes Drug in Trial Stages Shows Better Glucose Control
The results of a phase 2 trial indicate that a new drug to treat type 2 diabetes shows promise in improving the blood sugar of patients without increasing risk of low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia.
Type 2 diabetes is the one often referred to as “lifestyle-related” diabetes, and is linked with obesity and often other habits. More than 90% of diabetes in general are type 2, with a far smaller portion being type 1 or what has been called juvenile diabetes. According to
Glioblastoma Multiforme Brain Tumor Vaccine Being Tested In Miami To Treat The Most Aggressive Brain Cancer
Researchers in Miami are testing what they have called a new vaccine intended to treat the most common and deadly form of brain cancer known as glioblastoma multiforme. Technically, this is not a real vaccine as they are taking cells from the patients, adding some proteins, and giving back to the system healthy cells which are intended to kill
An endangered species of rattlesnake faces extinction from a deadly fungus
While most of us wouldn’t shed any tears over a dead rattlesnake the fact is that they are a necessary part of our world as they help to keep rats, mice, and other vermin under control so when scientists found four dead rattlesnakes in Illinois they began to express worry about what this could portend.
You see these weren’t just any run of the mill type of rattlesnakes but rather the massasauga rattler, a species of the rattlesnake family that is already on the endangered species list. Then on
Childhood Gender Nonconformity Ups Abuse Risk Study Says
Childhood gender nonconformity- when a prepubescent child identifies with the opposite gender- is an issue with which society is becoming increasingly more aware and accepting.
Not always, however- as demonstrated by the recent nationwide controversy surrounding one trans girl’s struggle to join her local Girl Scout troop. And the outpouring of both support and sadly, scorn, seems to be
Autism May Be Helped by ‘Talking Things Through’ in Thoughts
Last week, news that changes to the diagnostic criteria for autism could cut the number of diagnoses was met with a mixed reaction, and many were concerned that those affected by the changes might go without much needed services to manage the condition.
This week, research has emerged that some simple tools could be effective in dealing with autism when implemented at an early age. One of the differences between thought processes in people with autism has to do with visual thinking versus thinking “in
Oral Sex Again in the Hot Seat For Possibly Giving You Mouth Cancer
There are two camps of people, it seems, by and large, when it comes to oral sex- one that vocally demonstrates their love for and technique regarding oral sex and the other, largely silent and perhaps populated by abstainers.
In and of itself, oral sex is a controversial act, mainly because it can range so vastly from “not getting it” to partner or recipient reluctance to “oh my God, it’s better than going on a waterslide!” and thusly, going downtown is fraught with emotion and intrigue. Also,
Oldest Dinosaur Nursery Discovered in South Africa
The oldest known dinosaur nesting site has been uncovered by paleontologists in South Africa’s Golden Gate Highlands National Park.
Dating to 190 million years ago, the dino nursery is said to contain multiple nests, eggs, hatchlings and the remains of adults of the Massospondylus species. These herbivores were related to the more widely known Sauropod, and walked on their hind legs (though babies moved about on all fours
Scientists discover ancient popcorn in Peru possibly 6 700 years old
It’s been known for some time that some people have been eating popcorn for a long time–about 5,000 years ago, to be exact–but it turns out the ancient popcorn-eating goes back quite a bit further than originally thought.
A team of scientists from the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and Washington’s Natural History Museum have uncovered evidence that people in what is now Peru have been eating
