The following hour of programming is part of an ongoing investigation
into planet Earths ability to make discoveries in the field of science…
Each week, we check in on our subject to see how things are
coming along
And each week… the earthlings surprise us with many new
scientific discoveries with which to amuse ourselves…
From their perspective, the human ability to sense things is
quite limited…
Narrow band of light spectrum vision, limited audio frequency
hearing range, and not much else …
And yet, with the aid of their very primitive yet highly
functional brains, there is very little beyond the human ability to comprehend.
Where senses fail, they construct new ones…
Where evolution left them off, they evolve technology to go
further
And when even the
most powerful technology on earth cannot observe a subject of interest directly…
The human uses a form of mystical pattern recognition they
call “Math” to know things about the universe… far from human ability to see or
hear or taste or touch…
And while we observe the human condition in general to be inexplicably
and unpredictably less than desirable at times, it is only these highest
achievements of awesome amazingness that we have included in this report now
being submitted for you perusal entitled…
This Week in Science… coming up next
Sama says! This Week we are joined by Sama Ahmed from Carry the One Radio, a fantastic graduate student produced podcast out of UCSF. He brings:
Plastic microbeads from @DerekHennen
Old Neanderthal poop from @ClathrinSays
Fossilized larvae! from @BioInFocus
The Animal Corner contains:
Mitigating Climate Change Impacts may mean picking sides
Competition provides extra pressure on those animals already stressed due to changing climate. Recent research suggests some animals may have a much better chance of surviving climate change if competitors are eliminated.
Spiders are masters of disguise
If they weren’t scary enough already, some spiders can cover themselves in dirt to appear practically invisible!
Wormy Citizen Science
Worms are invading North America, and one way for us to stop it is through a new fancy app!

Faces, they take a licking
Researchers at the University of Utah posit that faces evolved to take punches.
No, they didn’t. That’s bro science.
Brian Switek at his blog tears into the evidence arguing that hands have not evolved as weapons, and faces have become less robust with time. His post elicits some interesting responses from the authors.
How much life is out there?
Analysis suggests there may be 100 million complex life fostering planets in the Milky Way.
Stars are hot, life is not.
But, this doesn’t take the life cycle of stars into account. So, they are probably all dead.

Interview with Chad King from Monterey Bay National Marine Sactuary (MBNMS) about a recent undersea mission in Monterey Bay to investigate a lost shipping container and the Sur Ridge.
“Chad King is a marine scientist and data analyst for NOAA’s Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Integrated Monitoring Network (SIMoN). With SIMoN, he is responsible for the collection, analyses, and dissemination of spatial data relating to long-term monitoring projects. King also actively participates in the field as a part of the MBNMS research team. He earned a BS in marine biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and an MS in marine science at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories.”

It’s time to explain. Why we do twis. We do it because science is important, and people don’t just want to know, they need to know. Science is important, because it is a quest for knowledge.
WHY IS KNOWLEDGE IMPORTANT?! I’m so glad you asked.
We have an impact on the world around us, sure, but why would we bother to alter things? Why? To fix the problems we’ve made. We care to preserve the world around us, its inner-workings, its splendor, and its function. The more we know, the more we discover how much we are a part of everything around us and that we, in fact, are as dependent on it, as it is on us.
In the words of one of my great idols, Theodore Geisel, aka Dr Seuss himself, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
Those words from 1971 in the Lorax are, in a nutshell, why we do twis. We all need to care a whole awful lot, and we can only care, once we understand.
So, let’s gain some more understanding – shall we?
It’s This Week in Science, coming up next!
Magnets versus gravity
New analysis of black holes suggests that for some magnetic forces might be as important or more so than gravity.
Nerves and immunity get intimate
The immune system talks to the nervous system, specifically the brain, by passing along mRNA via extracellular vesicles.
Vulcan laser super nova
Exactly what it sounds like… on a tabletop.
Traces of another world found on the Moon
Lead researcher, Dr Daniel Herwartz, from the University of Goettingen said, “We have now discovered small differences between the Earth and the Moon. This confirms the giant impact hypothesis.”
Bees don’t use the sun, they make a map!
Previous studies suggest bees use the sun to find their way, but new research suggests there is much more at work.
Spiders can tell what’s in their web by playing it like a guitar
By plucking their web strings after calibratring them, female spiders can figure out sex, species, and more about what is stuck in their web.

Drone Farm
Corn farming researchers investigate using drones as agricultural assistants.
Big Bang finding challenged
Two independent analyses propose that the original analysis did not properly account for the confounding effects of galactic dust. That means no evidence against, just no evidence for. One analysis used an updated Planck team increases fraction of polarization caused by dust. Other analysis excluded data on small spatial scales where gravitational lensing mimics gravitational waves.

TWIS is now. What is now? Now is not then, now is not later. But now never lasts – it is infinitely small, and impossible to grasp.
With every tick of the clock, a now has past, and a future becomes present.
What nows were and were good, what nows are now long gone and were less than perfect, what nows have passed us by as highly forgettable, what nows have become thens and were downright regrettable, all those nows are written in the tombs of time forever.
We cannot get them back, and nor should we. But we can grow and learn from the nows that are gone. With the nows that will come soon, and not so soon, the nows in the future, we can plan, we can look forward, and live hoping to make those future nows better.
So… what to do NOW? No… NOW? Now?! Oh, of course – now… it’s time for THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE! Coming up next…
TWIS was joined by roboticist David Calkins to discuss (dum dum duuuummmm…) World Robot Domination
New walking robots!
Intel’s got a version
Another link to walkers… Darwin
There’s also a Robo-Velociraptor in development.
Female scorpions are more likely to attack, males are more likely to run!
Pregnant females are too hefty to flee, so instead they fight with extreme ferocity!
Fruit flies think before they act
Fruit flies took longer to choose where to grab food when scents were more similar. This indicates a process of thinking and decision-making – something fruit flies were not thought to be capable of… Until now!
Evolution so fast… it gives you whiplash
Crickets in Hawaii on two separate islands have evolved into silence – in less than 20 generations, independently!

particular parameters of this peculiar mental attitude are multifaceted and
cover a wide spectrum of un-diagnosable disorders that seem to manifest as
general disdain for all things science…

the many technological advances leading us towards world robot domination… while

BICEP2 Dramas?
A physics blogger writes that the BICEP2 team have admitted to some within the science community that they might have made some errors. However, the team still publicly stands behind its publication and result. So, who knows…
Seas Are Going Up
Antarctica is melting.
Weighty Ice Issues
When ice melts, it relieves pressure on the regions of the Earth’s crust, and can have effects up to 250 miles below the surface.
Parasitic Scum!!
Parasites determined to have evolved from algae.
Early Americans
An underwater cave discovery confirms Native Americans’ relatedness to Eastern Asians who crossed the Bering Strait thousands of years ago.
What to do about waves?

Brain science extravaganza!
EEG brain experiments show that when transferring an object from one hand to another, the hemispheres do the same with both hemispheres maintaining an image of the object until the hand-off is complete.
The brain contains maps for where movements are supposed to go and their direction, as well as location and direction, and is sensitive to posture.
New neurons mess up old memories.
