Monday is here one more time and the opportunity 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 include Earth-like planets are right next door, biodiversity helps protect nature against human impacts, X-rays reveal the uptake of nanoparticles by soybean crops, and first evidence that magnetism helps salmon find home.
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.
