Authorities in Tanzania launched an investigation after ten lions turned up dead at one of Africa's most storied wildlife reserves, with preliminary findings pointing to deliberate poisoning, the latest in a string of wildlife killings across East Africa.

The authority said it opened a probe to determine the cause and identify those responsible.

Two vacationers had to be pulled from a sealed-off salt pan by firefighters after they allegedly ignored warning signs and barriers at a protected nature reserve in Sardinia, and now face fines from Italian forestry police. The pair waded into a restricted basin at Molentargius-Saline Natural Park, near Poetto Beach on the Italian island, hoping to snap photos of flamingos. Within moments, what looked like solid ground gave way beneath them, and both sank waist-deep into treacherous sediment they could not escape on their own. Bystanders raised the alarm. Firefighters, local police, and ambulances all responded to the salt pan beside Viale Colombo, a road leading toward the popular beach. Rescuers laid down ladders across the unstable…Open

We are at the point where we are losing an hour of daylight every 10 days. The sun does some strange things at these latitudes. But the bright side: We’ll be seeing auroras again!

AMERICANALMANAC (Lynn Jenkins) - Researchers put human neurons into mice, raising new ethical questions

Stanford researchers placed millions of lab-grown human neurons into mice, creating a disease model that also raises hard questions about consciousness and animal rights. NPR reported that the team used mice missing most of their cerebral cortexes, then filled much of that space with human cortical neurons grown in a laboratory. The goal was to […] The post Researchers put human neurons into mice, raising new ethical questions appeared first on American Almanac .

Stanford researchers placed millions of lab-grown human neurons into mice, creating a disease model that also raises hard questions about consciousness and animal rights. NPR reported that the team used mice missing most of their cerebral cortexes, then filled much of that space with human cortical neurons grown in a laboratory. The goal was to study neurodegenerative disease and other brain conditions. But the researchers stopped when the human cells reached roughly six months of development, before possible signs of consciousness might emerge. Sergiu Pașca, a Stanford professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, served as the senior author. The team published its findings in the journal Nature. Pașca said scientists have spent…Open
