1.30.2 π Sunday Links... Butterfly Scales, Smart Crows, Plankton, End of the World
Welcome and hope you get some time off today, away from work. With time to read a few fun STEM links. Watching Alfred Hitchcock's movie, The Birds, has always made me think twice about crows. Turns out they're really smart. There's also a link to an article about plankton. Not the character in the Sponge Bob cartoon. The yucky green stuff. Plus articles about the end of the world, chronic illnesses from dishwashers, human aging, butterfly scales, and reinventing the wheel for real. Thanks for being here.
