Science Tidbits

by possum

To time has come to gather around and take a well deserved hiatus from all the politics of the day.  Science talk is here.  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 cool roofs can mitigate global warming, vaccine patch with dissolving needles, the most massive star ever discovered, seeking better biofuels by examining leaf structure, Born's rule in quantum physics confirmed, climate change causes larger and more plentiful marmots, and diabetes monitoring device benefits man and dog.  Pull up a chair.  There is plenty of room for everyone.  Get comfy and settle in for one more session of Dr. Possum's science education and entertainment.
