Half-female, half-male rose-breasted grosbeak found in Pennsylvania

October 9, 2020Researchers with a team monitoring bird populations at Powdermill NatureReserve, in Rector, Pennsylvania, netted a surprise on September 24: arose-breasted grosbeak with bizarre coloring. It had the bright scarletfeathers of a male grosbeak on one side of its body and the canary yellowplumage of a female on the other.When they saw the robin-size songbird’s split coloring, it was immediatelyclear that the grosbeak was what scientists call a bilateral gynandromorph—ananimal that appears half male and half female.“There was no question about it,” says ,bird banding program...…October 9, 2020Researchers with a team monitoring bird populations at Powdermill NatureReserve, in Rector, Pennsylvania, netted a surprise on September 24: arose-breasted grosbeak with bizarre coloring.

We've run out of hurricane names. What happens now?

At 11 A.M. on Friday, September 18, Tropical Depression 21 became Tropical Storm Wilfred. When another tropical storm formed near Portugal later that same day, it was labeled with the first letter of the Greek alphabet: Alpha. When yet another tempest formed in the afternoon in the western Gulf of Mexico, it was named Beta. The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June to November, and already the 2020 season has seen the most storms in the shortest amount of time in recorded history.

The coronavirus wasn’t made in a lab. So why does the ‘Yan report’ say it was?

September 18, 2020Twenty years ago, data scientist Sinan Aral began to see the formationof a trend that now defines our social media era: how quickly untrue informationspreads. He watched as false news ignited online discourse like a smallspark that kindles into a massive blaze. Now the director of the MIT Initiativeon the Digital Economy, Aral believes that a concept he calls the noveltyhypothesis demonstrates this almost unstoppable viral contagion of falsenews.“Human attention is drawn to novelty, to things that are new and unexpected,”says . “We gain instatus when we share novel...…September 18, 2020Twenty years ago, data scientist Sinan Aral began to see the formationof a trend that now defines our social media era: how quickly untrue informationspreads.

Weird ‘boomerang’ earthquake detected under the Atlantic Ocean

The temblor shot eastward across a deep gash in the seafloor, and then zipped back to where it started at incredible speeds. It moved so fast it created the geologic version of a sonic boom. A magnitude 7.2 earthquake bolted past Rosario García González’s house in Baja California on a spring afternoon in 2010. González, an elder of the indigenous Cucapah community, later recounted the remarkable sight to scientists: As the quake cracked open the surface, it kicked up a cloud of dust, like a car racing across the shrubby landscape But the car, it seemed, was going the wrong way. ...…The temblor shot eastward across a deep gash in the seafloor, and then zipped back to where it started at incredible speeds.
