Once again the time is here 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 new coating developed to fight MRSA (methicillin resistant stap aureus) infection, many Americans are still clueless on how to save energy, new satellite data reveals true decline of world's mangrove forests, large masses of plastic found floating in the ocean, drought drives decade long decline in plant growth, and ancient 'terror bird' used powerful beak to jab like a boxer. 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.
