"And what if there is nowhere else within millions of light years for atoms to come together into these remarkable patterns that can think, feel and write like Shakespeare? The idea that meaning comes from us is very important, because it means we have to take responsibility." - Brian Cox , physicist

 Bumblebees have become increasingly stressed by changes in climate over the past century, researchers examining museum specimens have found.
Bees develop asymmetrical wings when they experience stress during development, and by examining a series of preserved specimens and their dates, the scientists found bees showed higher levels of wing asymmetry in hotter and wetter years.
Dr Andres Arce, now at the University of Suffolk and one of the authors of the paper published in the Journal of Animal Ecology, said: “Our goal is to better understand responses to specific environmental factors and learn from the past to predict the future. We hope to be able to forecast where and when bumblebees will be most at risk and target effective conservation action.” - The Guardian, August 18
