Once again Monday is here. Today is the 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 risk of climate change to small mammals, making tiny nanofibers, star of the African savanna ecosystem may be the lowly termite, coastal birds carry toxic metals inland, ancient jawbone of new pterodactyl, and a new method for calculating greenhouse value of ecosystems. Come gather around the fire for one more session of Dr. Possum's science education and entertainment.
