In vitro meat
American researchers (at Duke University) have succeeded in growing human muscle tissue from stem cells. A big step for medical science. And for the in vitro meat industry. The first human burger could just be a matter of time. And taste of course.
Forgotten
Want to discover some new species? Visit a museum. Bruno Massa from Italy discovered four new species of cricket in European natural history museums. One had been waiting to be discovered for 100 years. Captured, stored and forgotten. According to Massa there is much more biodiversity waiting to be dusted off and identified.
Success
Mountaineers from hierarchical societies reach the top more often. On the other hand, they meet their deaths more often too. These findings have come out of an analysis of Everest expeditions. Mountaineers with a great respect for authority are more likely to follow their leader blindly without questioning his or her decisions. Obedient to the last. Or to the top.
