Birds Might Follow Their Noses Home

Paolo Luschi and Anna Gagliardo are both former pupils of the late Floriano Papi. Papi, who died only six months before my visit, had joined as a teenager the partisans fighting the Nazi forces then occupying Italy. He carried secret messages back and forth and would have been shot as a spy had he ever been caught. After the war, as a reward for his courageous services, Papi was given a scholarship to study at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, and went on to become an expert on flatworms, as well as light communication in fireflies....

Brewing A Better Painkiller

Predictably, the achievement caused a stir. On the one hand, it was a significant breakthrough. Opiates are useful and highly sought-after painkillers. Yet their manufacture still begins with physically scraping sap from the seedpods of opium poppies. That makes them expensive and limited. Smolke’s method breaks that process open in a big way. On the other hand, democratizing drug manufacture sounds scary. “People are trying to figure out potential abuses of this powerful technology,” says Kenneth Oye, a political scientist at MIT....

Buick Is Electrifying Its Image With A Classic Name

The Electra name was introduced in 1959, and denoted Buick’s largest and most luxurious model available at the time, slotting in above the Invicta and LeSabre. For over three decades the Electra was a large comfortable American luxury cruiser. It downsized in the late 1970s as a response to competition and rising fuel prices, but continued to fill the same slot in the General Motors lineup of automobiles. The name was last used in 1990 when the sixth-generation Electra was replaced by a vehicle with a totally new shape called Park Avenue....

Can Animals Feel Hurricanes Sharks Are One Example

Much of Florida’s aquatic life—including species as diverse as manatees and alligators—know what to do in a storm like Hurricane Ian. After all, these native animals have had millions more years of practice than us. But those age-old skills will only become more useful as hurricanes become more intense from climate change. “Aquatic animals respond to storms for the same reason we do—to avoid injury, death, and the destruction from hurricanes,” says Bradley Strickland, a postdoctoral researcher who studies aquatic animal response to hurricanes and climate change at William and Mary’s Virginia Institute of Marine Science....

Concept Of Purity Makes Conservatives Care About Environmental Issues

Reframing rhetoric in a way that speaks to conservatives can reduce partisanship, according to a series of five studies by psychologists at the University of California-Berkeley and at Stanford University. They set out to test a hypothesis that conservatives would respond to ideas like patriotism, purity and “reverence for a higher authority,” as explained in a Cal news release. They especially focused on the purity aspect. Matthew Feinberg, the lead author and a postdoctoral fellow in psychology at Stanford, recruited a few hundred people via Craigslist....
