| Posted: 03 Aug 2011 02:47 PM PDT Unusually high clustering of last names within Italian academic institutions and disciplines indicates widespread nepotism in the country's schools, according to a new computational analysis.  |
| Widespread mistaken beliefs about memory, U.S. national survey reveals Posted: 03 Aug 2011 02:47 PM PDT A new survey reveals that many people in the US -- in some cases a substantial majority -- think that memory is more powerful, objective and reliable than it actually is.

| What steers vampire bats to blood: Heat-detecting molecules on noses discovered Posted: 03 Aug 2011 10:35 AM PDT Scientists have known for years that when vampire bats tear through an animal's skin with their razor-sharp teeth, their noses guide them to the best spots -- where a precise bite will strike a vein and spill forth nourishing blood.
