One Night in Nevada: Up to the Darkness

From Goldfield it's just a (26-mile) skip up the road to Tonopah, the county seat of Nye. (Are there any two other county seats so close together?) We saw signs for the "Tonopah Station" Ramada along the way, advertising a chance to roll the dice and win a free room for the night. ("R...

Disproving Conventional Wisdom On Diversity Of Marine Fossils And Extinction Rates (Science Daily)
It took a decade of painstaking study, the cooperation of hundreds of researchers, and a database of more than 200,000 fossil records, but new research may be disproving much of the conventional wisdom about the diversity of marine fossils and extinction rates. While the research of other scientists showed eventual recoveries in the diversity of fossils after periods of extinction - especially ...

Fish fossils fill in evolutionary link (The Kansas City Star)

Fish fossils fill in evolutionary link (The Kansas City Star)
Scientists have discovered the missing link in the evolution of modern-day flatfish, fish such as halibut and flounder that lie flat on the bottom of the sea and have both eyes on one side of their heads.

Flatfish Fossils Fill In Evolutionary Missing Link (Science Daily)
Hidden away in museums for more that 100 years, some recently rediscovered flatfish fossils have filled a puzzling gap in the story of evolution and answered a question that initially stumped even Charles Darwin. Opponents of evolution have insisted that adult flatfishes, which have both eyes on one side of the head, could not have evolved gradually. A slightly asymmetrical skull offers no ...

Fish fossils plug hole in evolutionary theory (Reuters via Yahoo! News)
Some odd-looking fish fossils discovered in the bowels of several European museums may help solve a lingering question about evolutionary theory, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.

Flatfish Fossils Fill in Evolutionary Missing Link (Newswise)
Recently rediscovered flatfish fossils have filled a puzzling gap in the story of evolution and answered a question that initially stumped even Charles Darwin Opponents of evolution have insisted that adult flatfishes, which have both eyes on one side of the head, could not have evolved gradually.

Your Podscope hits are at 10:15, 28:50 and 29:45 This week a rabies-based Trojan Horse that smuggles drugs across the blood-brain barrier, why first-borns are brighter, progress with Parkinson's and a lunar telescope more powerful than Hubble. Plus in this week's ARMAGEDDON-focused show we look at supervolcanes, earthquakes and arsenic, find out why curtains are absolutely lethal and why a meteorite impact probably didn't dispense with the dinosaurs after all. Also, in Kitchen Science, we test the claim that tapping the top of a fizzy drink before you open it stops it spraying all over you...
