Have a look at this brilliant video, posted by Richard in last Monday’s comments:

- Faces of our ancestors: 27 model heads based on fossil fragments collected across the globe.
- 300-million-year-old ‘UFO tooth-wheel’ found in Russian city of Vladivostok. What’s your take?
- Found on Mars: ancient crater lake fed by groundwater.
- Now, where did I put that Ebola? Dangerous pathogens accidently released from labs.
- The Psychedelic World of Catnip. Yep – that’s how catnip always makes me feel.
- Holly the Cat’s 200-mile trek back home leaves scientists baffled.

Quote of the Day:
Whether we acknowledge it or not, we all yearn for care when we suffer. When we can’t get genuine caring, we seek out the medical version: spendy and sometimes even counterproductive treatments. Some $210 billion is wasted annually on overtreatment, according to the Institute of Medicine, while a Medicare study found that overly aggressive treatment kills some 30,000 people a year. As a result, the number of U.S. adults who die from too much medicine is now higher than the number who die for lack of it.
The last article above.
