Here are some of the most interesting science news articles I read this week:
Can the woolly mammoth be brought back from the dead?
A strange thing happened in the stratosphere
Early-onset spring models may indicate "nightmare" for ag
Stanford engineers develop a plastic clothing material that cools the skin
Malaria, once a scourge in Bhutan, is nearing elimination
Twin study helps unravel the genetic blueprint of the human brain
Nutrient pollution is changing sounds in the sea
Antibacterial ingredients in indoor dust could contribute to antibiotic resistance
Clothing that cools? That will be a big hit here in the South.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why we would want the woolly mammoth back. It could backfire like Jurassic Park.
ReplyDeleteBTW have you seen a book called The Fifth Season won a Hugo Award this year? https://smile.amazon.com/Fifth-Season-Broken-Earth-Book-ebook/dp/B00H25FCSQ?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&ref_=pe_170810_207149920_pe_row1_b3_t#nav-subnav
ReplyDeleteAlex, I need clothing that warms. This year, it seems I've been more sensitive to air conditioning and breezes than usual.
ReplyDeletePat, I don't think it would work unless you also replicated the woolly mammoth's environment, and that would be much more difficult to do. And yes, I did hear about The Fifth Season winning the Hugo. I read that book last year, and it's got great world-building.
