Richard Dawkins once claimed he was an African Ape (which I reviewed here). Whether or not you like Richard Dawkins, and there is a lot to like and not like about him, he is entirely accurate about this one thing — we are humans and we are apes.

“Transmissible Vaccines” Could Be The Vaccine Technology Of The Future
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: biotech/medical, health
The fight against deadly diseases has always been a tough one. While vaccines have been the gold standard in warding off threats like diphtheria, tetanus, and measles, ensuring everyone gets a dose is no small feat. The answer to this might lie in an audacious new approach: transmissible vaccines.
It’s like using fire to combat fire – but can we control it?
When a large portion of a community gets vaccinated, we achieve herd immunity. However, ensuring global vaccination, especially in areas with inadequate health facilities, is an uphill task.

Astronomer uncovers ‘direct evidence’ of gravity breaking down in the universe
Posted by Dan Breeden in category: space
A scientist claims to have discovered a “gravitational anomaly” that calls into question our fundamental understanding of the universe.
Astronomer Kyu-Hyun Chae from the university of Sejong University in South Korea made the discovery while studying binary star systems, which refer to two stars that orbit each other.
His observations appear to go against the standard gravitational models established by Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, and instead offer evidence that an alternative theory first proposed in the 1980s may explain the anomaly.

Scientists pinpoint the brain center of the male libido
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience, sex
Scientists may have successfully spotted the brain center for the male libido responsible for sexual interest and mating in mouse models. The discovery may lead to improved drugs for sexual function.
This is according to a report by Medical Xpress published on Friday.
Senior researcher Dr. Nirao Shah, a professor of psychiatry and neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine, in California, said in the article that the newly-discovered region is responsible for recognizing the sex of other mice.

Muons are still behaving oddly, which could break particle physics
Posted by Paul Battista in category: particle physics
An experiment at Fermilab in the US suggests that muons rotate faster than expected, which would be a problem for the standard model of particle physics.
