Science Tidbits

by possum

Science talk is here one more time.  Gather around and take a well deserved hiatus from all the politics of the day.  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 curry spices reduce methane production in sheep, ocean acidity may give young fish a death wish, whales shout to overcome noise, black hole blows a big bubble, active immune tolerance makes pregnancy possible, a new form of evolution, and two new species of fish in Gulf.  Pull up that beach chair and settle in for one more session of Dr. Possum's science education and entertainment.
