700,000 years ahead of their teeth: The carbs that made us human
ScienceDaily
Long before evolution equipped them with the right teeth, early humans began eating tough grasses and starchy underground plantsâfoods rich in energy but hard to chew. A new study reveals that this bold dietary shift happened 700,000 years before the ideal dental traits evolved to handle it. |

The extraordinary life of a girl called âChampâ
The Hill
Angela Piazza Turley was a force to be reckoned with.
CHICAGO â As I write this, people are gathering in Chicago to bury an Ohio coal miner's daughter who came to this city in the early 1950s. They are celebrating a social worker and community activist who has affected thousands of lives over the last eight decades in this city. As the Sun-Times reported, her "backbone and willpower fueled positive change in Chicago for decades.â Angela Piazza Turley was a force to be reckoned with â both the irresistible force and the immovable object when it came to fighting for others. She was also my mother. The writer George Bernard Shaw once said that unreasonable people expect the world to conform to them. He then added that that was why all history is made by unreasonable people. My mother was one of those brilliantly unreasonable people. As the baby of five, I spent much of my early years clinging for dear life on my mother's skirts as she confronted slum landlords, abusive husbands, and gang bangers in the Uptown area of Chicago. Time and again, I would squeeze her hand with that look of "what do we do now?" She already seemed to know what to do. Growing up in a coal mining town in Ohio, my mother knew poverty and prejudice. She would never forget either. It created a solid core within her, harder and tougher than anthracite coal. Some nights, she would go to sleep looking at the burning crosses on the nearby hill, a message from the local Ku Klux Klan that she and the other Italians were not welcome in the valley. She learned that you had to fight for a better life. Her father, Dominick, was one of the earliest organizers of the United Mine Workers until he contracted black lung. At Yorkville High School, she was called "Champ" for her feisty, indomitable energy. She had a certain tomboy beauty with olive skin and penetrating hazel eyes. Courtesy of Jonathan Turley After World War II, she caught the attention of a young veteran, Jack Turley. This string-bean Irish street kid making scraps as a photographer was not exactly what my grandparents had in mind for a suitor. He faced an insurmountable wall of separation policed by my pint-sized Sicilian grandmother, Josephina. The two gradually came up with a way to meet that even my grandmother could not refuse: doing crosswords in the bay window of their grocery store. It worked. She believed in him, and, when he said he wanted to be an architect, they decided that he should study under arguably the most famous architect of the time: Mies van der Rohe, who developed the modern steel and glass structures that transformed cities. It was an act of sheer hubris, if not insanity. The two arrived late on a snowy night in Chicago with $1.37 in their pockets. They stopped in a shop and ordered the only thing that they could afford: a cup of coffee. Before they left that night, my mother had a job as a waitress. He would become one of Mies's closest associates and, after his death, a partner at Skidmore Owings and Merrill, who helped design some of the most famous buildings in Chicago and around the world. With my parents' success came the ability to help others. They founded organizations that would have a significant impact on this city, including one of the first inner-city community credit unions to provide local businesses and families access to loans. She was president of Jane Addams Hull House and the founder of an array of organizations that fought for better housing, education, and safety for the poorest of the city. She helped create one of the first shelters for abused women and a group to maintain support for our public schools. She ran for city council in the 46th Ward, and the Chicago Tribune described her as the "scrapper" from Uptown seeking to transform the poorest areas into decent places to live. She was all that â fearless; the embodiment of pure will. I remember going into slums with her as she faced down violent landlords and pimps. On one occasion, she and other mothers literally chased pimps and gang bangers out of a playground and a low-income building. I can still see the face of one pimp as a mix of amazement and amusement at this tough Sicilian mother with two young children in tow, pushing him into the street. I looked at her with that same "What do we do?" look, but she did not flinch. She had that crazy Sicilian look that said, "I am ready to go all the way, are you?" I was convinced that we were dead. But he never came back. My parents' success also gave my mother the opportunity to have something she had dreamed of as a little girl growing up during the Depression: a beautiful home filled with family. They bought one of the oldest houses in Uptown near the lake, with a room for each of their five children. When she first walked through that house, she stopped in the backyard and smiled as she came face to face with a giant Ohio buckeye. It was love at first sight. She would later fill the house with a steady stream of people who were struggling or foreign students seeking opportunities in the U.S. That house was her projection of herself in this world: a loving and protected space, large and open to others. For her, the house echoed with the dreams of a little girl in the depression; it meant safety, family, and continuity. After my father's death, my mother only had one request â she wanted to die in that house, not some hospital or hospice. She and the house slowly deteriorated together; gradually and inexorably. My siblings and I struggled to keep the old furnace and pipes working, to keep our promise. She would pass in her room with the ivy-framed windows looking out on Hazel Street, just a few days before her 98th birthday. Her death was hardly unexpected. It is a moment that comes for all of us, but few are ready to say goodbye when the time comes. When her health took a sudden turn for the worse, I rushed to the airport to be with her, only to have the airport shut down due to a raging storm. For the first time, she was out of reach. She died as I waited at the gate. My last moment with her had come a week earlier. I sat late at night at the end of her bed, staring at her and trying to hold it together. I had to catch a flight back to Washington in a few hours. I couldn't say a thing; I just looked at her with the same "What do we do now?" look. I think that somehow, she knew. She suddenly sat up and looked straight at me with those beautiful hazel eyes and smiled. She then threw me a kiss. She then fell back to sleep. It was as if she were saying, "You're going to be okay. You can take it from here." And it was the last thing that my mother ever said to me. She had always been there. In the toughest situations from the slums to the streets, I knew that I only had to hold more tightly; hold on to her. We would get out of there ... together. She was always my guiding light, my North Star. Now she is gone. What do you do when your North Star supernovas, leaving just a black hole in the very center of your life that seems to suck in the very light around you? "What do we do now?" She did not have to say. We know now. You hold on tighter to those you love and you stand your ground. Angela left behind five children, 13 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. She left a legacy of thousands of lives made better for her being there when they needed her most. This week, we will gather to bid farewell to Angela Turley, but not to her legacy. That will live and grow with the city she loved. Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University and the author of the best-selling book âThe Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,â which is dedicated to his mother.|

LSD, DNA, PCR: The Strange Origins Of A Biology Revolution
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, you may have not known about polymerase chain reaction (PCR) unless you worked in a lab using it. Even then, you may not know the wild story of its origins. PCR has a huge array of applications â from testing for diseases, criminal investigations, paternity tests, and even sequencing human genomes. Basically, wherever scientists are working with DNA, there's a good chance PCR is involved. PCR can take a tiny amount of DNA that would be very difficult to study and amplify it over and over into much larger quantities, allowing it to be studied more easily. Before the invention of PCR, this process was long and laborious, with scientists using cloning to amplify DNA in bacteria. Itâs considered a revolutionary technique, summed up in this reverential ode. The person credited with inventing PCR is Dr Kary Mullis, for which he won a share of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. To put it lightly, Dr Mullis was considered by many in the scientific community to be a controversial and problematic figure, described as an âinterpersonal wrecking ballâ in California Magazine. âIn the midst of being extremely charming, he could be extremely abusive,â his friend and colleague Dr Thomas J White told The New York Times. During an interview with Esquire, Mullis repeatedly touches the interviewer and attempts to convince her to sleep with him, even after she says no. She would later describe him as âoutrageousâ and ânasty.â He also had his fair share of odd (and plain wrong) scientific opinions â for example, he did not believe that humans cause climate change, or that HIV causes AIDS. His colleagues noted that he often made errors with basic biology when coming up with ideas. Dr Mullis died aged 74 on August 7, 2019, from respiratory and heart failure resulting from pneumonia. However, to look at how he came up with PCR, weâre traveling back to May 1983. The Deoxyribonucleic Acid Trip As he recounts in his book Dancing Naked in the Mind Field, Mullis was driving his silver Honda through California, heading from Berkeley to his cabin in Anderson Valley. It was a Friday. At this time, Mullis was employed at Cetus, a biotechnology company. He worked with oligonucleotides: short strings of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. As he drove, his brain started to get creative. âDNA chains coiled and floated. Lurid blue and pink images of electric molecules injected themselves somewhere between the mountain road and my eyes,â he recounted. Mullis stated that he was âfunctionally soberâ at this point â however, his famous love for taking and making the psychedelic drug LSD gives these colorful scenes a whole other context. In fact, he once said âWould I have invented PCR if I hadnât taken LSD? I seriously doubt it [âŠ] I could sit on a DNA molecule and watch the polymers go by. I learnt that partly on psychedelic drugs.â Albert Hoffman, who discovered LSD, has said that Mullis personally told him that the psychedelic had helped him conjure up the concept of PCR. As the DNA danced in his mindâs eye, Mullis thought of how two oligonucleotides could stick to either end of a short area of interest in a comparatively vast string of genetic material. His computer programming experience also drifted into view, and he started to consider how he could apply a reiterative mathematical procedure to this process. This would mean that after the area of interest was marked by the oligonucleotides, the natural tendency of DNA to replicate itself could be harnessed to reproduce this area of interest over and over and over and over. Mullis stopped the car, pulled off the road, and started scribbling his ideas on an envelope so enthusiastically that he broke the lead of his pencil. Testing The Idea OF PCR This brainwave wasnât left in the driverâs seat of his car. Mullis wrote that âWe got to my cabin and I started drawing little diagrams on every horizontal surface that would take pen, pencil, or crayon, until dawn.â Now he had to prove his idea. He presented his ideas at a Cetus seminar in August 1983, to a skeptical response. âPeople donât believe things, usually, for the right reasons,â Mullis said in a Google TechTalk in 2010. âThe reason they didnât believe this was because of the fantastic result of it. Not because any one of the steps was unlikely to work.â "He got a lot of data but he was having personal problems and tended to do uncontrolled experiments, so it wasn't very convincing when he did get a result,â Dr White told the New York Times. In fact, his first attempt at PCR was unsuccessful. He had attempted to use the technique to amplify a fragment of Human Nerve Growth factor, the sequence of which had been recently published. However, scientists at Cetus persisted for months alongside Mullis to create a proper experimental system to make it work. Mullis writes that the first successful attempt at PCR was on December 16, 1983. His colleague Fred Faloona had helped to set up the reaction. Rather than using human DNA, Mullis had settled on using a plasmid, a simpler type of bacterial DNA. The process would end up utilizing Taq DNA polymerase, an enzyme from a bacteria found in Yellowstone National Park hot springs called Thermus aquaticus. This is important as high temperatures are required in each round of DNA amplification, and Taq DNA polymerase can withstand the heat. Thanks to its role in PCR, the enzyme was crowned "Molecule of the Year" by Science in 1989. In 1985, the team published a paper in the journal Science outlining how they used PCR to amplify human DNA as a potential way to diagnose sickle cell anemia. An application to patent PCR was filed by Cetus in 1986, with Mullis applying for a patent in 1985. Both patents were granted in 1987. However, Dr Mullis left Cetus in 1986. He had been paid $10,000 for his part in discovering PCR, but this pales in comparison to the $300 million Cetus sold the rights for five years later. As Kary Mullis wrote in his book, âIt would spread into every biology lab in the world. I would be famous. I would get the Nobel Prize.â This was one idea that was absolutely correct.|

What Is "Nobel Disease", And Why Do So Many Prizewinners Go On To Develop It?
IFLScience
One Prizewinner went on to believe he was visited by a talking, glowing, motorcycling, raccoon.
Albert Einstein, recipient of the Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the photoelectric effect and the great physicist behind general and special relativity, once said : âThe exaggerated esteem in which my lifework is held makes me very ill at ease. I feel compelled to think of myself as an involuntary swindler.â Given his great achievements in physics, he may have been suffering from imposter syndrome ; the feeling that you are incompetent or a fraud, while everyone else around you is there on their own merit. While reassuring that even Einstein felt like this, other Nobel Prizewinners have not responded in the same manner to recognition of their own achievements. In fact, there's a term called "Nobel disease" or sometimes "Nobelitis" to describe the sometimes wacky and unscientific views that Nobel Prizewinners have gone on to develop, following their win. There's a surprisingly long list of Nobel Prizewinners who have expressed pseudoscientific beliefs after their win, usually straying away from their field of expertise. These include scientists, noted in their field, who went on to develop interests in psychic research, extrasensory perception, and one winner who believed he had been visited by a talking, motorcycling, glowing green raccoon. In one chapter of the book Critical Thinking in Psychology, researchers listed a number of such cases. While some developed mundane and grim pseudoscientific beliefs, such as James Watson's widely debunked beliefs regarding race and intelligence, many developed much more "fun" versions of "Nobel disease". Pierre Curie, for instance, won the Nobel Prize in physics for the discovery of radium and polonium, before going on to participate in seances and believing that investigating the paranormal could help us answer questions about magnetism. As if Casper didn't have enough on his plate, now he's got to manage all the magnets. Joseph Thomson, who won the same Prize for his discovery the electron, developed a similar interest in psychic phenomena and was a member of the Society for Psychical Research for 34 years. Charles Richet, who won the Prize in physiology or medicine in 1913, meanwhile, is the man responsible for the word "ectoplasm", which he believed could be expelled from mediums during seances. In reality, any essence being produced is merely a trick by mediums. One medium, Helen Duncan, would swallow a line of cheesecloth and then regurgitate it on demand, sometimes attaching rubber gloves or magazine portraits to it to make it look spookier. A trick, you'd hope, which would not get past someone with a Nobel Prize in medicine. Sometimes the "disease" can be harmful. Richard Smalley, who won the Prize in chemistry for discovering a third form of carbon in 1996, went on to argue against evolution, while others have advocated in favor of eugenics, lobotomies, and harmful practices and ideas around autism. Then there was Dr Kary Mullis, who won a share of the 1993 Nobel Prize in chemistry. Following his win, he expressed skepticism about climate change, and the role of HIV in AIDS, as well as belief in the heavily debunked idea of astrology. As well as this, he claimed that he saw a glowing racoon which talked to him. "I encountered a glowing green raccoon riding a neon orange motorcycle at my cabin in the woods of northern California around midnight one night in 1985," Mullis once reportedly said. "The raccoon proceeded to metamorphose into a singing dolphin at the stroke of midnight." So, why do so many Nobel Prizewinners end up with such pseudoscientific beliefs? According to one winner, Paul Nurse, it could partly be to do with external pressure from the media and other groups, urging Prizewinners to step outside of their area of expertise. "In the eyes of many people, I had suddenly become a world leading expert on almost everything. This was rather a shock. It is not that I am an overly modest person and I do know something about biology and science more generally, but an expert on everything, assuredly I am not," Nurse explained in a piece for the Independent advising other Prizewinners to stay clear of this path. "You will be inundated with requests to comment on a wide range of issues, to sign letters and petitions and to generally lend your name to causes, some noble, other less so," he added. "But do not be tempted to stray too far from your specialist knowledge or from science more generally." In their review of Prizewinners, the team above had their own suggestion. "A number of cognitive errors, including bias blind spot and the senses of omniscience, omnipotence, and invulnerability; personality traits such as narcissism and excessive openness; and the 'guru complex' may predispose highly intelligent individuals to disastrous critical thinking errors," the team wrote, citing, as well as many Prizewinners, Isaac Newton's love of alchemy and strange religious beliefs. While this is an interesting idea, they point out we do not have any data on whether Nobel Prizewinners are more inclined to such pseudoscientific beliefs. Though interesting that Nobel Prizewinners are not immune to such thinking, don't put off your prizewinning research â it is not a real disease.|

President Trump announced another list of new tariffs on more than 60 countries, an unprecedented economic move that seeks to remake the global trade system. The tariffs, which range in rates from 10 to 41 percent, will take effect next week. It comes as the jobs report came in weaker than expected, with just 73,000 added last month.

The hominid, with grasses met, A primal feast, a future set. Seven hundred thousand years they chewed, While teeth of stone were not yet viewed. A feast of carbs, a human start, Deep in the earth, to play their part.
Now AI's dawn, a potent might, DeepMind's CEO, in reasoned light, With Huang, a clash of titans' word, On future's path, a truth inferred. While Hassabis, in virtual space, Sees physics and games find their place.
ThePrimeagen speaks, of code and soul, Of AI's pull, to make us whole. While Gemini whispers, deep and sly, At "critical capability" nigh. And Ollama gleams, a new UI, For local minds, beneath the sky.
But 'midst the code, a different fight, The "Climate Right," in sun and night, With MAGA's heirs, in factions deep, A party's future, secrets keep. From WSJ to POLITICO's call, The political winds, embracing all.
Then wisdom speaks, or shadows cast, Of propaganda, built to last. From YouTube's depths, a filmmaker's view, Of Hollywood's dark agenda, new. While Tim Pool cries, and faith is sown, In words that make the spirit known.
The "Culture War," a stage is set, Debates ignite, with no regret. From Trump's own words, to "Saber Rattling," The global stage, with nations battling. While Vite suit claims, the left's denial, And Harris' loss, a political trial.
The "Nobel Disease," a curious plight, Where genius fades, into the night. From Mullis' words, of science's lore, To PCR's past, and so much more. LSD and DNA entwined, A revolution for mankind.
The "Living Fossil," ancient, grand, Revising tales, across the land. While lightning sparks, from cosmic ray, In Earth's own dance, from far away. And memories found, of human start, Artificial traces, in the heart.
So ponder this, the world we see, Of science, politics, and you and me. Of making, thinking, and of strife, The ballad sung, of modern life.
