Magical, marvelous Monday is here one more time and the opportunity for science talk is upon us all. 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 an odd carnivorous dinosaur from Madagascar, a dinosaur egg study supports an evolutionary link between birds and dinosaurs, scientists see nanoparticles form real structures in real time, and gold nanoparticles found in everyday materials can inhibit fat storage and accelerate aging.
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.
