Rehashing the same old talking points while framing them as questions does not make them better or more correct.

A new technology to tap into individual neurons offers amazing possibilities for prosthetics and intricate implants.

No matter how good the intentions, designing the babies of a future generations is simply not going to work in the long term.

There's a reason why we can see and understand things robots can't, and that reason might be a cluster of neurons known as V4.

Michio Kaku is an expert in theoretical physics. This is why it's not surprising that he's reciting for sci-fi cliches about evolution instead of the actual science.
# politics
Creationists and the school boards who either bow to them or are ran by them, are busy intimidating teachers into not teaching the science of evolution.

A pair of studies show that T-Rex must have hunted down and killed prey if it didn't want to starve to death.

Evolutionary psychology sounds like a fruitful pursuit, but it's probably barking up the wrong tree as a discipline.

Embryos outside of Earth's gravity seem to have a hard time developing, meaning that reproduction in space requires a far more fine tuned environment.

It seems that the NASA-backed research into arsenic-eating microbes had a number of serious flaws that has biologists scratching their heads.
# astrobiology
NASA claimed one of its researchers found alien biochemistry on Earth. Unfortunately, the paper they published doesn't support the hype.

Genetic studies confirm that the Black Death was a strain of the bubonic plague making its way through Europe with outbreaks in trade hubs.

We think Gliese 581g might have liquid water on its surface. How do we check if it really does?
