The red-lipped batfish flaunts its outrageous scarlet pout with all the charisma of a 1980s goth frontman. No one knows exactly why the batfish sports its signature look, but it may help it to attract mates, or to recognise others of the same species at spawning (reproduction) sites. The red-lipped batfish lives at depths of up to 75 metres in the waters surrounding the Galápagos Islands, where it is adapted to life as a bottom dweller, living and feeding on the seafloor. It is a poor swimmer, but modified fins act as makeshift legs, helping it to 'walk' along the sand. Well, it's more of a froggy waddle, but when a little more speed is required, the batfish can push off with the 'pelvic' fins beneath its body and use its muscular tail to propel itself through the water. The fish also sports a fleshy appendage on the top of its head called an illici

It all started when I happened across a package of steamed, peeled, and ready-to-eat fava beans in the packaged produce section of the supermarket. The fava beans are from Melissa's, a reputable company I'd happily used before, which sells vacuum-packed, somewhat-fussy-to-prepare vegetables such as baby beets, edamame, and black-eyed peas. My experience with their products had been positive, as they produce quality convenient vegetables for a quick meal. I'd never seen Melissa's fava beans before, though, so in my cart they went. For some people, the only time they've even heard of fava beans is in the movie "Silence of the Lambs." In the film, Anthony Hopkins plays Dr. Hannibal Lecter, whose infamous line when referring to a census taker whom he slaughtered, is "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti." I always thought that was an oddly specific combination. It turns out that line was not only horrifying, but an inside medical

In 2015, archaeologists from the University of Hasanuddin in Makassar, on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, uncovered the skeleton of a woman buried in a limestone cave. Studies revealed the person from Leang Panninge, or "Bat Cave", was 17 or 18 years old when she died some 7,200 years ago. Her discoverers dubbed her Bessé' (pronounced  bur-sek ¹) — a nickname bestowed on newborn princesses among the Bugis people who now live in southern Sulawesi. The name denotes the great esteem local archaeologists have for this ancient woman. She represents the only known skeleton of one of the Toalean people. These enigmatic hunter-gatherers inhabited the island before Neolithic farmers from mainland Asia ("Austronesians") spread into Indonesia around 3,500 years ago. Our team found ancient DNA that survived inside the inner ear bone of Bessé', furnishing us with the first direct ge

Among infants with type 1 spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), treatment with risdiplam was associated with improvements in motor function and meeting developmental motor milestones, according to study results published in The New England Journal of Medicine . Children with SMA may not be able to sit without support, walk, or hold their heads up, possibly because of variations in their survival of motor neuron (SMN) genes SMN1 and SMN2 , resulting in reduced production of the functional SMN protein. Risdiplam, an orally administered small-molecule that increases the expression of SMN2 messenger RNA and levels of SMN protein, was approved for the treatment of patients with SMA aged 2 months and older. The objective of the current trial (FIREFISH; ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02913482) was to determine the efficacy and safety of risdiplam in infants with type 1 SMA aged between 1 and 7 months at enrollment.

A dog flopping awkwardly in a pool of water has prompted an array of fish comparisons after a video went viral over the weekend. The contented canine, which appears to be a Golden Retriever, was filmed floundering in a large puddle while spread out belly-down like a starfish. As the camera zooms in, the playful animal clumsily pivots around resembling a floundering fish out of water. "What kind of fish is this?" Reddit user NyankoSensei posted to the 'AnimalsBeingDerps' subthread on Sunday. The 15-second clip has so far garnered 775 replies from curious observers in the 24 hours since it was first posted online. "That's a flat tailed barker," one person replied, while another countered: You sure? Seems more like a yellow-bellied snout snoggler to me." "This a golden pupper fish," another user empathically noted. "It's a Land Seal," somebody else hit back. "Technically not a fish but close enough." "It's a

"The Nubble," he responded without hesitation, then made eye contact with my fiance, Travis, and grinned. I had a feeling they were joshing me but I didn't really care where we were going. I was more concerned about how long this loud, rough ride would be. Each time the 35-foot Terry Jason lobster boat Cecelia Jean crashed down off a wave, I felt my spine compress and figured I was already an inch shorter. "How far out is it?" I was yelling now. "About 12 nautical miles, maybe an hour,&qu
