Science Tidbits

by possum

The time is here once again.  Time 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 stretched polymer snaps back smaller than its start, evidence of feasting in early humans, climate change implicated in the decline of horseshoe crabs, famed Tasmanian devil euthanised after tumor (facial cancer) found, and self-assembling photovoltaic technology that repairs itself.  Pull up that beach chair and relax.  There is plenty of room for everyone.  Settle in for one more session of Dr. Possum's science education and entertainment.
