Fossils of kelp along the Pacific Coast are rare. Until now, the oldest fossil dated from 14 million years ago, leading to the view that today's denizens of the kelp forest -- marine mammals, urchins, sea birds -- coevolved with kelp. A recent amateur discovery pushes back the origin of kelp to 32 million years ago, long before these creatures appeared.

Neuroscientists have investigated whether playing violent video games leads to a reduction in human empathy. To do this, they had adult test subjects play a violent video game repeatedly over the course of an experiment lasting several weeks. Before and after, their empathic responses to the pain of another person were measured. It was found that the violent video game had no discernible effect on empathy and underlying brain activity.

Annotation of genes in immune cells typically involves the creation of germline knockout mice, which is time-consuming, as it only changes one gene at a time. CRISPR-based systems enable gene knockout in immune cells in a high-throughput manner, but these systems have not been widely employed in vivo. The CHIME and new X-CHIME systems, developed and deposited at Addgene by Arlene Sharpe’s lab , allow for wide deployment of in vivo gene knockout in immune systems.
