These three differences between male and female wiring in flies are driven by two key genes. Researchers have known about the genes for years, and how they’re linked to each of these behaviours. What they’ve never been able to see is the bit in the middle. Now, for the first time, they can see the actual wiring those genes produce.The primary aim of the research was not to discover the differences between male and female flies, and certainly not to find neurological explanations for certain alleged behavioural differences between men and women. Comparing two brains that have some slight wiring…

Former England captain Michael Vaughan says the rise in the cost of tickets to next year’s men’s Ashes are “pricing a lot of people out of the game”.Having labelled a 43% price increase for the 2027 Test at Edgbaston as “really poor” on social media, he subsequently told BBC Radio 5 Live the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) could be “in for a shock” from the impact of their ticket policy.Members at Edgbaston can purchase tickets for £92, but the cheapest for adults across the first three days are £115, with every ticket carrying a £2.50 booking fee.”I think…

Every festival has a flavour. Sometimes, it is found in the meals prepared for loved ones, the recipes passed down as generations gather, or the joy of gathering around a table with one’s family and friends. At the annual August Meeting celebration, that flavour is deeply connected to culture, community, and the women who help keep these traditions alive. This spirit came alive on Friday, 28 August as Knorr joined women from across Nigeria and the diaspora at the New Government House, Umuahia, Abia State, for the grand finale of the state’s 2026 August Meeting celebrations. Organised by the Office…

That’s just silly, right? It’s crazy that the act of measurement changes the outcome. Does this mean that physics experiments can change reality? Maybe.What About That Zombie Cat?I mentioned Erwin Schrödinger above. He was one of the pioneers of quantum theory, but he couldn’t bring himself to accept this idea of superposition. Using his macro-world common sense, he insisted there must be a flaw in the model, and that a complete theory of quantum mechanics would eventually be deterministic like classical physics.When scientists don’t like something, they make up absurd scenarios to invite mockery of its proponents. So Schrödinger created…
