What I'm reading, Science.. Labor Day/ September Edition

Before I leave for Greenland, here is an eclectic collection of science stories that caught my eye. Enjoy a good Labor Day read...

I wanted to get this out before I leave for Greenland on Tuesday, where I will hope to write some entries for Critical mass. Here is another month’s links to science stories that have piqued my interest. Topics this month are Physics, Astronophysics, Space Science, Biology, Evolutionary Biology, Paleontology, Archaeology, Climate Change, Environment, and Epidemiology.

The full set of links will be available to paying subscribers of Critical Mass. A partial set is available to everyone.. Enjoy.
