Spring continues its inexorable advance in Possum Valley. Monday is here one more time and the opportunity for science talk is here again. Time to brighten your day with selections from science sites around 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 mummy CT-scans show ancient people had clogged arteries, chewing gum helps you concentrate for longer, Earth today is warmer than during 70 to 80 percent of the last 11,300 years, and a new 5-milion-year-old saber toothed cat from Florida is described.
Pull up that comfy chair and grab a spot near the window. There is always plenty of room for everyone. Another session of Dr. Possum's science education, entertainment, and potluck discussion is set to begin.
