| Volunteers join scientists in finding out who gets rid of cow dung Posted: 08 Nov 2013 07:27 AM PST With more than a billion cows around the world, an immense amount of dung is produced each day. Most of these droppings will evidently disappear, as the world is still green rather than brown. Now a team of scientists have joined forces with local volunteers to find out who decomposes the most of it in Finland, Northern Europe.  |
| Slacktivism: 'Liking' on Facebook may mean less giving Posted: 08 Nov 2013 06:13 AM PST Would-be donors skip giving when offered the chance to show public support for charities in social media, a new study finds.  |
| Edited RNA plus invasive DNA add individuality Posted: 08 Nov 2013 06:13 AM PST An enzyme that edits RNA may loosen the genome's control over invasive snippets of DNA that affect how genes are expressed, according to new research. In fruit flies, that newly understood mechanism appears to contribute to differences among individuals such as eye color and life span.  |
| Killing for money: Does crime pay? Posted: 07 Nov 2013 06:44 AM PST Perhaps surprisingly, contract killers are not as highly paid as you would have thought.  |
