302-pound sea turtle injured by boat receives CT scan on horse machine

JUNO BEACH, Fla. — A 302-pound loggerhead sea turtle named Pennywise, struck by a boat off Florida’s Atlantic coast, was taken in for urgent treatment at a turtle hospital this week — and revealed an unexpected surprise during her recovery.Too large to fit the Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s imaging equipment, and even oversized for a human CT scanner at a nearby medical facility, Pennywise was eventually scanned at Palm Beach Equine Clinic using equipment designed for horses.The scan not only confirmed spinal trauma but also showed that the adult female turtle is carrying eggs.“We hope we’ll be able to get her back out there into the wild as soon as possible so that she can lay those eggs,” said Dr. Heather Barron, the center’s chief science officer and...

A vast cavern in South Dakota shielded from the outside world will house sensitive equipment to detect tiny changes in sub-atomic particles

Scientists in a race to discover why our Universe exists

WASHINGTON — Inside a laboratory nestled above the mist of the forests of South Dakota, scientists are searching for the answer to one of science's biggest questions: why does our Universe exist?They are in a race for the answer with a separate team of Japanese scientists – who are several years ahead.The current theory of how the Universe came into being can't explain the existence of the planets, stars and galaxies we see around us. Both teams are building detectors that study a sub-atomic particle called a neutrino in the hope of finding answers.The US-led international collaboration is hoping the answer lies deep underground, in the aptly named Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (Dune).The scientists will travel 1,500 meters below the surface into three vast underground...

Sesame Street heads to Netflix after Trump pulled funding

NEW YORK — Sesame Street and Netflix have struck a deal that will see the popular TV show appear on the streaming platform after US President Donald Trump pulled funding for the free-to-air channel PBS.Netflix said the iconic program is a "beloved cornerstone of children's media, enchanting young minds and nurturing a love of learning".From later this year, Netflix will offer its 300 million subscribers a new season of the show and 90 hours of previous episodes, while still being available on PBS.Sesame Street was also facing an uncertain future after entertainment giant Warner Bros Discovery, which owns the HBO platform, did not renew its deal with the half a century old program.Earlier this month, Trump issued an executive order to block federal funding for PBS and radio...

Pipestone Creek still holds many secrets

Scientists try to solve mystery of mass dinosaur grave beneath lush Canadian forest

ALBERTA, Canada — Hidden beneath the slopes of a lush forest in Alberta, Canada, is a mass grave on a monumental scale.Thousands of dinosaurs were buried here, killed in an instant on a day of utter devastation.Now, a group of paleontologists have come to Pipestone Creek — appropriately nicknamed the "River of Death" — to help solve a 72-million-year-old enigma: how did they die?Trying to work out exactly what happened here starts with the hefty strike of a sledgehammer.Brute force is needed to crack open the thick layer of rock that covers what Professor Emily Bamforth, who's leading the dig, describes as "paleo gold".As her team begins the more delicate job of removing the layers of dirt and dust, a jumble of fossilized bones slowly begins to...

Affected families in Serrinha dos Pintos lived without a diagnosis until geneticist Silvana Santos arrived

The rare disease in a remote town where 'almost everyone is a cousin'

SERRINHA DOS PINTOS, Brazil — Before Silvana Santos arrived in the little town of Serrinha dos Pintos more than 20 years ago, residents had no idea why so many local children had lost the ability to walk.The remote town in north-eastern Brazil is home to fewer than 5,000 people, and is where biologist and geneticist Santos identified and named a previously unknown condition: Spoan syndrome.Caused by a genetic mutation, the syndrome affects the nervous system, gradually weakening the body. It only appears when the altered gene is inherited from both parents.Santos's research marked the first time the disease had been described anywhere in the world. For this and later work, she was named one of the BBC's 100 most influential women in 2024.Before Santos arrived, families had no...
