A Ray of Hope
by tristero
There’s been a bit of decent, ok, and not terrible news recently. But in a year that saw the passing of Captain Beefheart, not to mention the descent of our politics into realms even my most cynical and paranoid thoughts could barely imagine, there has been very little to crow about, let alone offer it any ice cream (Those In the Know understand my meaning).
Now along came this courtesy PZ Myers to brighten the holiday season:
Principal finding ‘We discovered that bumble-bees can use a combination of colour and spatial relationships in deciding which colour of flower to forage from. We also discovered that science is cool and fun because you get to do stuff that no one has ever done before. (Children from Blackawton)’.
Go ahead. Treat yourself and read the whole thing. You deserve it.
Annual Holiday Fundraiser going on right now. If you can help support the blog, I appreciate it. Cheers! digby
