Fox News suffers ratings slump while staffers fret about post-Trump future. "We are lost," a Fox News insider remarked to me recently, and there are lots of data points to back up the assertion.

Fox News suffers ratings slump while staffers fret about post-Trump future

Nielsen numbers for the month of January were released on Tuesday, and Fox ranked third in the three-horse cable news race for the first time since 2001. Furthermore, CNN was the No. 1 channel across all of cable. Think about it this way: January was one of the biggest months of political news in a generation, yet Fox couldn't capitalize. Instead of competing by promoting correspondents and putting news coverage front and center, the network prioritized ever more outrageous, ever more extreme opinion. Can science 'enrich the understanding but rob the imagination?'

As an evolutionary ecologist, I’ve spent decades delving into the luminous lives of fireflies, glow-worms, and their kin.

Can science 'enrich the understanding but rob the imagination?'

Celebrated worldwide for their wonder-inspiring ability, fireflies typically inspire me to ponder deep scientific mysteries: postcopulatory sexual selection, courtship signalling, and nuptial gifts. But every field season, I give my scientific mindset a rest for at least one night. Then, I simply go out and immerse myself into the world of firefly wonder. Science and wonder are intimately entwined in a complex, yet occasionally dysfunctional, relationship.

A Long Term Bottom in Uranium, by @Goldfinger. Uranium spot prices have been bouncing along a bottom near $26/lb for the last several months: The recent drop below $26/lb followed by quick snapback above have the makings of a failed breakdown, particularly when considering the significant momentum divergences in recent weeks.

Millions at risk as deadly fungal infections acquire drug resistance

More than a million people die of fungal infections every year, including about 7,000 in the UK, and deaths are likely to increase as resistance continues to rise. Researchers say the widespread use of fungicides on crops is one of the main causes of the rise in fungal resistance, which mirrors the rise of resistance to antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections in humans. “There are close parallels between bacterial and fungal resistance, though the problems we face with the latter are particularly worrying,” said Prof Adilia Warris, a co-director of the newly opened Centre for Medical Mycology at Aberdeen University.

Robust Behavior in Nature´s Molecular Machines - Charles L. Brooks

Brooks III, professor at the University of Michigan will give a lecture at a Seminar in Chemistry and Biochemistry. The title of his talk is Robust Behavior in Nature´s Molecular Machines Abstract Biological machines are required to perform many aspects of their mechanical function in the background of species variation, mutations and alterations of their underlying chemical make-up that lead to alternative protein and nucleic acid sequences.
