"World's Most Popular Painkiller Also Kills Empathy"
*"World's Most Popular Painkiller Also Kills Empathy"* by Paul Ratner "Acetaminophen, the most common drug ingredient in the United States, found in over 600 medicines like Tylenol, has been found to reduce empathy in those who take it. According to a study, the painkiller reduces the ability to relate to the physical and social pains experienced by others. "We don't know why acetaminophen is having these effects, but it is concerning," said Baldwin Way, the study’s senior co-author. "Empathy is important. If you are having an argument with your spouse and you just took acetaminoph... more »
Dinosaurs Couldn’t Stick Out Their Tongues
Einstein could stick out his tongue but dinosaurs could not, according to a new paper. Instead of being like modern day lizards or legendary physicists, their tongues were probably rooted to the bottoms of their mouths like alligators. The discovery was made by comparing the hyoid bones — the bones that support and ground the tongue — of modern birds and crocodiles with those of their extinct dinosaur relatives. In addition to challenging depictions of dino tongues, the research proposes a connection on the origin of flight and an increase in tongue diversity and mobility. read more
Polar Ice May Be Softer Than Thought, Which Could Speed Up Sea Level Rise
Ice seems solid to the eye, but it is really a material that flows like a viscous liquid. In the polar ice sheets, it flows towards the oceans under its own weight. Knowing how fast the ice flows is of crucial importance to predict future sea level rises, especially if climate change occurs and impacts that. For a new study, researchers used flow velocities at the surface of the northern Greenland Ice Sheet to create estimates and data from satellite images suggest that the polar ice is softer than scientists believed. read more

Genetic Heart Mutations Ruled Out As Cause Of Most SIDS Cases
Because Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), in infants less than a year old, are tragedies without known explanation, scholars have searched for causes beyond stuffed animals in cribs or blaming parents. SIDS represents up to 80 percent of all sudden unexpected infant deaths with an five in 1,000 live births in the US. The peak incidence occurs between two months and four months of age and is more common in boys. One explanation has been heart disease caused by genetic mutations but a recent study found that is less than 5 percent of cases, much lower than the 20 percent previousl... more »

Joe Crowley Outed For Flipping Out Over Ro Khanna's Endorsement Of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Kyle Kulinski should have a show on MSNBC or CNN. Believe me you're never going to hear any of this stuff from Rachel Maddow. There are no other members of Congress who have endorsed Alexandria. Instead the co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus is *whipping* for Crowley. (No, I'm not talking about Raul Grijalva.) Ro has endorsed the most progressive candidates running for Congress, the ones who are going to help him pass Medicare-For-All and the whole Bernie platform. He's not the DCCC and he's not endorsing based on who can win. He's not endorsing Blue Dogs from the R... more »

Nor did it equal the 2003 anti-Iraq war demonstration which saw between 750,000 and 2 million people take to the capital's street (to achieve nothing), nor the pro-fox hunting Countryside Alliance march of 2002 which saw some 400,000 people marching in London (also achieving nothing). Still, Ben Wright's report on tonight's early evening news bulletin on BBC One (which led with the story) began like this: *This was a mobilisation on a big scale*, by people who had come to t... more »
The Predicament Of Diversity: No One Agrees On What It Means
“Diversity” as a concept has a lexical and political value all its own, with a widespread appeal. The problem with that is, however, that no one actually has the same idea of what diversity actually *means*. There is some consensus that the concept has, over time, morphed into something that it was not originally intended to be. Denise Green’s 2004 study looks at the University of Michigan’s response to a 1997 affirmative action case, and argues that legal precedents such as this one moved the cursor away from social and racial justice towards a narrower, simplified idea about div... more »
