I got some feedback that the webcrawl is a little overwhelming in length, so from now on this weekly post will be focused on three or four of my favorite stories from around the web instead of a roundup of the whole sclogosphere.
For this Friday-before-Marathon-Monday, here are my picks, which have nothing to do with running:
- Solar planes are cool but they’re not the future of flight
- Maria Sibylla Merian: artist whose passion for insects changed science
- Painting with chimps
- Scientists figure out what you’re seeing while you’re dreaming
- The three important takeaways form the “ladies like bigger penises” study
- Brain as clear as Jello for scientists to enjoy
(okay, that wasn’t three or four, but six is better than my usual number of around 26, right?!)
