Science of the Week, 9/8/17

Here are some of the most interesting science articles I read this week:

Ultraviolet light may be ultra-important in search for life

Barbecue-crashing mosquitoes beware: new weapons are in the works

Why many Russians have gladly agreed to online censorship

Have a good weekend, everyone, and see you Monday!

Pat, anyone who interacts with dogs regularly knows they're smarter than people think they are. (And now I feel like I should watch the Beatles' "Hey Bulldog" video.)
