Science Tidbits

by possum

Welcome, welcome.  Monday is here one more time right on schedule.  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 new trove of fossils in amber, astronomers discover the most massive neutron star yet, making bone in the laboratory, the blurring of the definition of 'native species' as a result of climate change, miniature human livers created in the laboratory, world's seagrass species faring somewhat better than vertebrates, and tagged narwhals track warming near Greenland.  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.
