First kiss dates back 21 million years, say scientists
A new study looks at how the mouth-on-mouth smooch came into being, and concludes that Neanderthals also kissed.

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.

Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.
Canada loses measles elimination status after three decades, health agency says

Hedy Lamarr was born #OTD in 1914.

In the 1940s, in an attempt to help the war effort, she quietly invented what would become the precursor to many wireless technologies we use today including Bluetooth, GPS, cellphone networks & more: frequency hopping. #WomenInSTEM

This image shows a mass of human stem cells, collectively known as an ‘organoid’.

We stained the neural crest cells of this organoid to better understand diseases related to defects in their development, such as Hirschsprung's disease and Neuroblastoma.
