Science talk returns to brighten your day one more time. New discoveries, new takes on old knowledge, and other bits of news are all available for the perusing in today's information world. Over the fold are selections from the past week from a few of the many excellent science news sites around the world. Today's tidbits include how plants know when to flower, gourmet butterflies speed north, new chipset for high speed data transmission, a record number of young scallops in the mid-Atlantic, ancient Bethlehem seal unearthed in Jerusalem, and public apathy over climate change unrelated to science literacy.
Pull up that comfy chair and grab a spot on the porch. There is always plenty of room for everyone. Another session of Dr. Possum's science education, entertainment, and potluck discussion is set to begin.
