🧪 Scientists take advantage of bats' extraordinary fondness of mutual grooming to develop a highly effective oral rabies vaccine. Way to go scientists!
This is really cool! A rabies vaccine, applied as a gel to fur, spreads quickly among bats as they lick and groom each other. That prevents rabies outbreaks in other animals. www.science.org/content/arti...
Vampire bats' mutual grooming helps spread innovative rabies vaccine
A gel that bats lick off one another’s fur could help prevent rabies outbreaks in cattle, a growing problem in Latin America

You only die twice:
Recent theoretical models suggested that some stars could destroy themselves in two, successive supernova explosions. Now we have direct visual evidence that such doubled stellar deaths really happen. 🧪🔭
