A paper in Nature Communications describes a gene that regulates the structure of social networks in fruit flies, which is named after the actor Kevin Bacon. Read the paper:
The structure of a social network is thought to be heritable in many animals, including humans. Here, Rooke and colleagues identify a gene, which they name “degrees of kevin bacon (dokb)”, that is expressed in the central nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster and regulates the structure of social networks.

Sam Altman isn’t sure the future of artificial intelligence requires new hardware.
Despite a flurry of new devices hitting the market, the OpenAI CEO told MIT Technology Review we might not need to buy separate devices to engage with AI in the future.
“I don’t think it will require a new piece of hardware,” he said while in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for events hosted by Harvard University and the venture-capital firm Xfund.

Storm drains can be a causeway of disaster for our oceans and bays, because trash and organic debris can travel through the pipelines, polluting the waterways on the other side.
Fortunately, a program in Florida could serve as a model for other communities in cleaning up the drains and preventing harmful pollution from soiling the environment.
The solution is from Miami-based Stop Ocean Pollution Technologies, or SOP. They were selected by the North Bay Village to install up to 50 unique drain filters that utilize an “upper flow of water through the screen, which will allow it to continue to flow even as debris is collected,” according to a report from NBC6 South Florida, the network’s local affiliate. Keeping the drains clear can also prevent flooding.
