Welcome once again. 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 rare form of rock melting accounts for explosive volcanoes, using ancient animal urine to measure climate change, insecticides from genetically modified corn found in adjacent streams, carbon dioxide controls Earth temperature, both humans and nature harm food webs in rivers, and new fish species discovered in one of world's deepest ocean trenches. 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.
