Genius!

A new study describes how four closely related species of parasitic wasps change their venoms rapidly in order to adapt to new hosts, and proposes that co-option of single copy genes may be a common but relatively understudied mechanism of evolution for new gene functions, particularly under conditions of rapid evolutionary change.

Scientists are providing the clearest view yet of an intact bacterial microcompartment, revealing at atomic-level resolution the structure and assembly of the organelle's protein shell. This work could benefit research in bioenergy and pathogenesis, and it could lead to new methods of bioengineering bacteria for beneficial purposes.

It seems that Gene Simmons has realized that his use of the “devil horns” is not as original as he wants to think.

The Bitbag: "Nex Machina is a brilliant bullet hell shooter that should please fans of the seemingly niche genre. Its beautiful, fast-paced and incredibly challenging, like any good shooter should be, with local co-op to boot. The game might be too difficult at times, but its worth a try for anyone curious about it."

Slowdrive is an adorable mix between racing game, puzzle, and simulator created by OneBraveRobot. Racing games can often struggle to set themselves apart in a genre that is flooded with similar titles. The solution is often to make the game that can give the player the greatest sense of escapism with flashier, faster, and photorealistic cars and racetracks. That, or to go the Nintendo route and fill the map with so many twists, obstacles, and items that the simple mechanic of driving doesnt always stay the focus. In these games, you often play a driver with sharp leather gloves and the look of a winner. You dream of the finish line, and you are going to get you there fast as they can. When you start up a racing game, you dont exactly expect this...

SuperGen says, "Theres one word that can be used to describe Housemarques latest release, Nex Machina. That word is fun. Undeniably the best developer around when it comes to twin-stick shooters, Housemarque has made a name for themselves in the industry with fantastic games such as Resogun and Super Stardust. It should come as no surprise then that this one is also another home run for the studio, and has reaffirmed my love for this genre."

An 82-year-old Holocaust survivor was thrown into the spotlight for her lawsuit after an ultra-orthodox man refused to sit next to hear and demanded a seat change, according to The Guardian. Renee Rabinowitz sued the country's national carrier, El Al, over gender discrimination and winning a landmark ruling that now says flight stewards can't request a female passenger move seats to accommodate ultra-orthodox men who don't want to sit next to them. Israeli judge, Dana Cohen-Lekah, called the practice "discriminatory" after hearing Rabinowitz' complaint, and ruled that “under absolutely no circumstances can a crew member ask a passenger to move from their designated seat because the adjacent...
