Science is what we do when we want to understand how things in the universe work. It is a process of discovering facts and developing theories about how things work and interact with each other. Science is not just limited to the physical world, but also includes the study of human behavior and social interactions. We use scientific methods to study everything from the behavior of animals to the effects of various drugs on people. By using the scientific method, we are constantly learning new things about the world around us. Science is important because it allows us to understand our surroundings and make informed decisions about our lives. It helps us to find solutions to problems and make predictions about future events. Without science, we would be living in complete darkness, unaware of the incredible complexities of the universe around us.
Hidden for 70 million years, a tiny fossil fish is rewriting freshwater evolution | ScienceDaily
Researchers in Alberta uncovered a fossil fish that rewrites the evolutionary history of otophysans, which today dominate freshwater ecosystems. The new species, Acronichthys maccognoi, shows early adaptations for its unusual hearing system. Evidence suggests otophysans moved from oceans to rivers more than once, leaving scientists puzzled about their ancient global journeys.
Study links high neuroinflammation in young people with Down Syndrome to Alzheimer's risk
Down syndrome is associated with accelerated aging. It is estimated that up to 90% of individuals with the condition develop Alzheimer's disease before the age of 70. A study by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil identified high levels of neuroinflammation in young individuals with Down syndrome, an additional factor explaining the high prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in older people with the condition. The discovery paves the way for strategies to prevent and monitor the disease.
Scientists uncover a mysterious Jurassic lizard with snake-like jaws | ScienceDaily
A strange Jurassic lizard discovered on Scotland’s Isle of Skye is shaking up what we know about snake evolution. Named Breugnathair elgolensis, the “false snake of Elgol” combined hook-like, python-style teeth and jaws with the short body and limbs of a lizard. Researchers spent nearly a decade studying the 167-million-year-old fossil, revealing that it belonged to a newly defined group of squamates and carried features of both snakes and geckos.
Ricardo Sánchez Martín | Functional generalism in plant-hummingbird interactions: causes and consequences from a plant perspective – Functional Ecologists
In this week’s blog post, we’re learning all about the causes and consequences of functional generalism! Author Ricardo Sánchez Martín explains the fascinating fit between hummingbirds and the plants they pollinate: “Functional generalism in plant-hummingbird interactions: causes and consequences from a plant perspective”. 1. About the Paper Scientists have long been fascinated by the apparent…
Replacing Friday linkfests with AI is harder than it seems (UPDATED) | Dynamic Ecology
This week: the beatings cattle prods will continue until morale theoretical physics improves, LLMs vs. reproducibility, good annoyance, the past degrowth is never dead; it's not even past; accidental inventions, and more. How common is accidental invention? I was surprised that there seem to be some patterns here. Accidents are (somewhat) predictable! An important part…
