Science Tidbits

by possum

Monday, Monday.  Magical, marvelous Monday is here one more time.  Time to take a well deserved hiatus from all the politics of the day and enjoy some of the fine science news of the past week.  New discoveries, new takes on old knowledge, and other bits of news are all available for the perusing in today's information world.  Over the fold are selections from the past week from a few of the many excellent science news sites around the world.  Today's tidbits include warming of Lake Tanganyika threatens fishing, sharing air around the globe, Greenland rising as ice melts, calculating the depth of the world's oceans, mercury levels are increasing in popular game fish in Lake Erie, and tracing polluted groundwater to the sea.  Come gather around the fire for one more session of Dr. Possum's science education and entertainment.
