Looking through the latest issue of Science News to reach me, and there's a few things I just had to share.


  • T.rex's apparently may have had vision 13 times sharper than a human's or about four times better than a hawk, especially later breeds. Big eyes, skull grooves to allow for better binocular vision, etc. So the whole "if you don't move, it won't see you" thing is likely bunk.
  • If you use bath products containing lavender oil or tea tree oil on young boys, they may develop breasts.
  • There's now evidence that the Milky Way has gobbled up at least 14 nearby small galaxies, or is in the process of doing so. We live in Galactus.
  • A gene has been found that, when turned off, allows ear hairs in mammals to regenerate. No, not the unsightly grampa ear hair, the types inside the inner ear that let you hear.


Sciencenews.org probably has at least the headlines for these, but most of its content is kept behind a subscription wall.
