First Monday of the year and the time for science talk is here once again. Time to brighten your day with selections from science sites across the globe. New discoveries, new takes on old knowledge, and other bits of news are all available for the perusing in today's information world. Today's tidbits some dinosaurs shook the tail feathers for a mating show, first meteorite linked to Martian crust, a new way to study permafrost soil above and below ground, terrace farming unearthed at ancient desert city of Petra, and a study links post-infectious hydrocephalus to rain fall in East Africa.
Pull up that comfy chair and grab a spot near the fire. There is always plenty of room for everyone. Another session of Dr. Possum's science education, entertainment, and potluck discussion is set to begin.
