Mosquitoes
The Outsize Role of Tiny Mosquitoes in Human History A new book tells the tale of the greatest predator of human beings in history - By Steve Mirsky on October 1, 2019 [image: The Outsize Role of Tiny Mosquitoes in Human History] Credit: Matt Collins In the middle of a humid night in November 1997, two scientists and I donned waders and walked into the water of a half-acre test pond about 20 miles west of West Palm Beach, Fla. The researchers were there to set up egret decoys before the real birds flew over at dawn. I’d been warned about the snakes we might encounter while I was r... mais »
Color of Noise
The Color of Noise: What Do Hues Have to Do with Sound? - By Jeffery DelViscio on October 17, 2019 You have probably already heard, or at least heard *of,* white noise. Maybe you grew up when televisions were still analog. If so, you might remember the *shhh *that accompanied “snow” on a cathode-ray tube screen. It lived in special place between the few channels on the dial that actually had programming. And in that snow, you could see—and hear—residual cosmic radiation born in the big bang. Or maybe you grew up in the age of apps and downloaded one of the many designed for rela... mais »

Fear Control
Gut microbes control fear in mice Chemicals released by bacteria in the gut seem to influence how mice recover from fear — an ability linked to chronic anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Mice that were trained that a certain sound meant a painful shock were able to forget the association after some time with a painless version of the tone. But mice treated with antibiotics to wipe out the microbiome were never able to get over the learned fear. When researchers looked closer, the bacteria-free mice had changes to their brains and different chemicals flooding their bodies. S... mais »

Brain Pickings Year 13
13 Life-Learnings from 13 Years of Brain Pickings On October 23, 2006, *Brain Pickings* was born as a plain-text email to seven friends.

New Virus

Unlike living organisms that fall within the three 'domains of life' – bacteria, archaea, and eukaryota – viruses are fundamentally different because they don't have cells. That lack of cellular anatomy makes them hard to classify from a biological standpoint... mais »
