A stunning breakthrough: the first example of a primate exhibiting rational thought.
In a series of experiments, chimpanzees revised their beliefs based on new evidence, shedding light on the evolutionary origins of rational thought.

the thing about the East Wing stuff, among other things, is it really makes clear that he could tear down the white house itself and no one would stop him. many people would cheer it along after seeing how upset the ‘libs’ got.

Let's unravel the mystery of Saturn's polar hexagon.
A jet stream speeds around the pole at 320 km/h (200 mph). That’s common among planets, but what's not is that it oscillates up and down *very* stably. Each low point of this sine wave becomes a corner of a hexagon, when projected onto a sphere:

Tossing this out here in case anyone wants to chime in (particularly anyone who might have reviewed postdoc applications before): what is actually useful information to include in a cover letter for postdoc roles?

Does anyone know of a good LaTeX template for research proposals? I.e. something mindful of space constraints, with macros for different types of sections (e.g. background and motivial, proposal, etc).

New SPT-3G result! "Using SPT-3G we report a 95% limit on ACB of 1.2×10−4, which tightens to 0.53×10−4 when imposing a prior on lensing. These are the tightest constraints on anisotropic birefringence from BB to date"
