Saturn's moon Titan could harbor life, but only a tiny amount

Animals with higher body temperatures are more likely to evolve into herbivores

"Dog is man's best friend" - Based on archaeological remains in Alaska, a new study shows that people and the ancestors of today's dogs began forming close relationships as early as 12,000 years ago – about 2,000 years earlier than previously recorded in the Americas.

A study by researchers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences found a tiny protein called PNA5 appears to have a protective effect on brain cells, which could lead to treatments for the cognitive symptoms of Parkinson's disease and related disorders

Global temps ranged from 11-36°C over 485M years, current 15°C is cooler than most of Phanerozoic, but human-made greenhouse gases are heating the planet faster than any past warming events

Veterans working with service dogs experienced significantly lower self-reported and clinician-rated PTSD symptom severity, lower anxiety and depression, a significantly higher quality of life, and fewer feelings of isolation after three months compared to standard of care alone.
