Hello Helvetica! Vets name rescued sea turtles named after fonts
Roughly 500 cold-stunned sea turtles were rescued in New England this winter. Helvetica is a loggerhead sea turtle. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. They're also a few of the new names bestowed upon sea turtles that a team from the New England Aquarium's turtle hospital rehabilitated this year. This winter, almost 500 live turtles washed up along the shores of Cape Cod Bay, with many suffering from hypothermia following the annual cold stunning season .

What 'Jurassic Park' got wrong about venomous dinosaurs
Science Ask Us Anything What'Jurassic Park' got wrong about venomous dinosaurs And what did'Spinosaurus' really do with that sail? Dilophosaurus didn't have a frill or spit venom. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. We all know dinosaurs were scary. While not strictly a dinosaur, the ancient shark was four times longer than the biggest great white. Now, imagine one of those big bad dinos had venom. That'd be the last thing we need, but it very well could've been a reality. In a new episode of's Ask Us Anything podcast, we dig into the fossil record to see just how likely a venomous dinosaur would've been.

Machine learning framework to predict global imperilment status of freshwater fish
Researchers spent five years developing an AI-based model to protect freshwater fish worldwide from extinction, with a particular focus on identifying threats to fish before they become endangered. "People sometimes go in to protect species when it's already too late," said Ivan Arismendi, an associate professor in Oregon State University's Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences. "With our model, decision makers can deploy resources in advance before a species becomes imperiled." The findings were recently published in the journal Nature Communications. Nearly one-third of freshwater fish species face possible extinction, threatening food supplies, ecosystems and outdoor recreation.

Mind-altering substances are (still) falling short in clinical trials
Placebo and "knowcebo" effects are a problem. But they can also help people feel better. This week I want to look at where we are with psychedelics, the mind-altering substances that have somehow made the leap from counterculture to major focus of clinical research. Compounds like psilocybin--which is found in magic mushrooms--are being explored for all sorts of health applications, including treatments for depression, PTSD, addiction, and even obesity. Over the last decade, we've seen scientific interest in these drugs explode. But most clinical trials of psychedelics have been small and plagued by challenges.

The 45 planets most likely to host alien life, according to astronomers
'Project Hail Mary' may be fiction, but this list could still come in handy. An artist's impression of a theoretical planet orbiting a redder star, which could cause microbes and plants on the planet's surface to reflect very different colors from Earth's green forests. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Life on Earth is a precious thing, especially given what astronomers know about the visible universe. Although researchers have so far identified over 6,000 exoplanets beyond our solar system, only a handful of them be suitable for human visitors.

Even humans love a good mating call
Volunteers listened to animal mating calls and played a computer game--for science. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. It's important to remember that we humans are simply animals . A very advanced species, but members of the animal kingdom nonetheless. We all need water, food, and shelter to survive, but we also share another similarity.

Essex police pause facial recognition camera use after study finds racial bias
Academics discover black people'significantly more likely' to be identified when compared with other ethnic groups Essex police have paused the use of live facial recognition (LFR) technology after a study found cameras were significantly more likely to target black people than people of other ethnicities. The move to suspend use of the AI-enabled systems was revealed by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which regulates the use of the technology deployed so far by at least 13 police forces in London, south and north Wales, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Hampshire, Bedfordshire, Suffolk, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Surrey and Sussex. The ICO said Essex police had paused LFR deployments "after identifying potential accuracy and bias risks" and warned other forces to have mitigations in place. LFR systems are either mounted to fixed locations or deployed in vans. In January, the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, announced the number of LFR vans would increase five-fold, with 50 available to every police force in England and Wales. Essex commissioned University of Cambridge academics to conduct a study, which involved 188 actors walking past cameras being actively deployed from marked police vans in Chelmsford.

Cockapoos, doodles, and other crossbreeds have behavioral problems, too
Trendy designer dogs often have the same issues as pure breeds. The'doodle' industry earns over $1 billion a year. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Designer crossbreed dogs are increasingly popular pets . Much of the rising interest is tied to claims that these mixed pooches possess more desirable aspects than many purebreeds or mutts.

Neanderthals used antibiotics, new experiment suggests
Gooey birch tar helped our distant cousins make weapons and possibly treat wounds. The bark of birch trees has been used to produce tar for more than 150,000 years. The center photo shows birch bark tar condensed onto a rock that borders a hearth. When scraped off the rocks, the viscous tar can be used as both an adhesive and antibiotic. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week.
