New issue by two of my favorite science writers @salonium and @NikoMcCarty. They find the most exciting aspects of biology and bring them to life!.
New post! Our summer edition of What's new in biology:. The first gonorrhea vaccination program, contact lenses that see infrared light, the protein behind sweet tastes, baby cured with gene therapy, gene-editing breakthroughs & new cholesterol drugs.

All human societies make music, and most frequently do it in groups. There are some exceptions where collective music making is rare and we don't have a good understanding of why. Cool paper exploring this question through ethnographic case studies. @RuedenChris

Is there anything more incredible than the intricate complexity of life?.
The flagellum motor is biological design of the highest order. The motor hits rotational speeds >1,000 rpm. The basal disk (that purple ring) alone is built from 51 tethered subunits. The tail whips at high torques thanks to interlocking cogs, an axial driveshaft, and propeller.

We should be open to unorthodox arguments but i don't find the argument about honey = cruelty persuasive. Take this paragraph for example. Lots of claims, but little data and argumentation.

"In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is—if it disagrees with experiment, it is wrong. That is all there is to it.".
Here is how science works. First, we guess at the nature of reality. "Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare.
