Scientists Finally Identified Where Gluten Reactions Begin

All Life on Earth Today Descended From a Single Cell […] single-celled organism (or, possibly, population of single-celled organisms) […] it’s the moment when life as we know it took off, the furthest point in evolutionary history that we can glimpse by working backward from what’s alive today.

Here, we measured daily salivary testosterone concentrations from 41 adult men for one month, along with daily self-reports of sexual desire […] We found no evidence for significant, positive relationships between testosterone and desire, which argues against the notion that day-to-day changes in eugonadal men’s baseline testosterone regulates changes in their sexual desire. However, additional analyses provided preliminary evidence for a positive relationship between testosterone and self-reported courtship effort

Northwest Pacific orcas have started wearing salmon hats again, bringing back a bizarre trend first described in the 1980s, researchers say.

Researchers found the ideal pattern to fool the sharks was to place the LED lights in stripes across the bodies of the seal decoys, perpendicular to the direction they were being towed through the water. The sharks still saw the decoy, but its shape was broken up and the great whites stopped attacking. […] “it potentially gives us an insight into how we can develop a non-lethal shark deterrent especially for surfers.”

Seagrass meadows are natural carbon sinks, and their conservation and restoration play a crucial role in climate change mitigation and adaptation. Here, we show how satellite tracking of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) provided a major advance in identifying novel seagrass blue carbon resources in the Red Sea.

scientists have discovered that dogs living in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant area [fed by Chernobyl cleanup workers and tourists] are genetically distinct from dogs living farther away. […] researchers do not know whether radiation caused the genetic differences or not. The dogs may be genetically distinct simply because they’re living in a relatively isolated area.

Recently, my story as a Norwegian entrepreneur facing an unrealized gains wealth tax bill many times higher than my net income went viral […] Norway spends 45% more than Sweden on health care per capita with approximately the same health outcomes. Norway has 2,5 times bigger share of the working population on sick leave than Denmark. Norway spends ~50% more than Finland on primary and secondary school with worse results. […] Norway is one of the richest countries in the world. The government does not need to send their entrepreneurs abroad with non-sensical taxes. […] The people of Norway currently enjoy and benefit from a host of generous welfare benefits. High income with short work days, free healthcare, free daycare, free education and beyond. For this to continue in the future Norway needs massive new post-oil industries.

Criminals turn college campuses into recruitment hubs, recruiting chemistry students in Mexico with big paydays. […] People who make fentanyl in cartel labs, who are called cooks, told The New York Times that they needed workers with advanced knowledge of chemistry to help make the drug stronger and “get more people hooked” [and] to synthesize the chemical compounds, known as precursors, that are essential to making fentanyl, freeing them from having to import those raw materials from China.

“I seem to be absolutely born for the cycle,” wrote Gustav Mahler, “and I’ve already reached the stage where all the horses avoid me, but I’m still not good at ringing my bell.” He claimed that only cycling offered any relief from the chronic pain of his hemorrhoids.
