More Than Twice As Many Women Are Running For Congress In 2018 Compared With 2016

Donald Trump is fueling many women's desire to run for office in 2018 — in the words of one analyst, he's "the gift that keeps on giving" to the resistance.

Still 1:5 women:men but it’s a start.

Why neocons really hate Trump: He’s hastening the decline of American empire

Trump's neoconservative critics have liberal fans now, but their real cause is saving American imperialism

The only thing more stunning than the scale of Russian interference uncovered today is the fact that an American President is taking no action to protect our country against an ongoing threat. This is a dereliction of duty.

A Feathered Dinosaur Tail with Primitive Plumage Trapped in Mid-Cretaceous Amber

Xing, l. et. al., Current Biology 26 (23) 5 December, 2016

Just published in Current Biology, Xing and co-authors describe the tail of a non-avian (non-bird) Theropod dinosaur. The dinosaur fossil is probably from a very young Coelurosauria, a dinosaur clade closely related to birds, and an ancestor of T-Rex. The fossil is entombed in Cretaceous amber from Kachin State, Myanmar,  which dates to about 99 million years ago. The plumage structure provides substantial insight into the developmental pathway of feathers. Unlike fossils in sedimentary rock, the amber encasement has preserved the feathers in pristine condition. Fine morphological details, including the spatial arrangement of follicles and feathers on the body, and micrometer-scale features of the plumage are present. Beneath the feathers, carbonized soft tissues offer clues of preservation history. The presence of iron suggests that remains of hemoglobin and ferritin might remain trapped within the tail. Most amber is much younger ( around 1 to 30 million years old) than this Cretaceous fossil resin, and thus was made by resin (not sap) at least 35 million years after the last dinosaurs roamed the earth. 

Below is a 16 mm long Mayfly in fossil amber from the same location in Myanmar. Note the exquisite preservation of fine details.
