Neil Gaiman takes on fairy tale stereotypes: "You
don't need princes to save you," says Neil Gaiman, speaking about his
new fairy tale, The Sleeper and the Spindle. "I don't have a lot of
patience for stories in which women are rescued by men." And so, in his
slim, gilded, wicked book, a beautiful young queen calls off her own
wedding and sets out to save a neighbouring kingdom from its plague of
sleep.
Yogurt lives up to its rep as a healthy food: Yogurt was linked to a significantly lower risk of diabetes. And this was true even after controlling for factors linked to diabetes risk like body mass index (BMI) and diet. The team then pulled in data from previous studies to add to theirs, and calculated that 28 grams of yogurt per day was linked to an 18% lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
We've got a candidate for life outside of Earth: Scientists think Europa is the best candidate for life outside Earth in the solar system because life depends on three key ingredients - liquid water for chemical reactions, essential chemicals and an energy source - and Europa seems to have all three.
Dogs and humans co-evolved. The scientists found that dog owners' aroma actually sparked activation in the "reward center" of their brains, called the caudate nucleus. Of all the wafting smells to take in, dogs actually prioritized the hint of humans over anything or anyone else.
