Welcome, welcome. Magical, marvelous Monday is here. The 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 a larger role for plants in cleaning the atmosphere than thought, a bit of good news from the Gulf oil spill, scientists open an electrical link to living cells, a new way to weigh planets, and taste receptors in the lungs. Come in, sit down, and relax. There is plenty of room for everyone. Settle in for one more session of Dr. Possum's science education and entertainment.
