☆ 29 million-year-old grasshopper nest found intact with eggs, study says
  + stars: | 2024-01-16 | by ( Mindy Weisberger | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
The eggs and overall nest construction closely resemble the eggs and pods of modern grasshopper species. Insect eggs are extremely rare in the fossil record, and intact egg cases are even rarer. This wasn’t just a cluster of eggs — it was a type of subterranean egg pod called an ootheca, with the eggs cradled by a protective layer that had mineralized into a stony rind. So Lee consulted a global insect egg database, containing more than 6,700 living species, to identify the eggs in the fossil pod. The virtually pristine specimen also speaks to the level of preservation in the national park site’s fossil beds, Famoso added.

REUTERS/Kim Kyung-HoonTOKYO, July 26 (Reuters) - On a recent vacation in Tokyo, Takumi Yamamoto opted for a special lunch of cricket curry and silkworm sashimi, washed down with a water bug cider. In particular, the water bug cider was quite refreshing and delicious, like a green apple." While some consumers think eating insects is just gross, Japan has a rich culinary history of insects as food. The delicate "sashimi" is the left-over casing of silkworms, and the cider is infused with water bug extract and topped with a whole insect, said to taste like shrimp.

☆ An Avian Murder Case on a Quiet Back Porch

I open the pantry door and the eastern phoebe flies off the nest. Before eastern phoebes lived so close to humans, they built their nests on cliffs. Every year for 35 years, we’ve had an eastern phoebe nest under the eaves of our back porch. Eastern phoebes have the distinction of being the first bird ever banded, in 1804 by John James Audubon himself. He, too, watched an eastern phoebe nest at his farm in Mill Grove, Pa., about 200 miles east of here as the flycatcher flies.

☆ This Summer We’re Helping Scientists Track Birds. Join In.

This Summer We’re Helping Scientists Track Birds. This data will help scientists understand better how birds are affected by forces like climate change and habitat loss. We’re obviously a little bit biased here, so I’m going to recommend the Merlin Bird ID app. Nearly half of all bird species worldwide are known or suspected to be in decline, and climate change could accelerate this trend. Look up past reports of that species on the eBird Species Map and zoom in on your city.

☆ MLB, Minor Leaguers Reach Tentative Deal on First-Ever Collective Bargaining Agreement
  + stars: | 2023-03-30 | by ( Lindsey Adler | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
A minor league baseball game between the Brooklyn Cyclones and Greensboro Grasshoppers in 2022. Minor league baseball players reached a tentative agreement with Major League Baseball on the collective bargaining agreement for minor leaguers who formed a union last year, MLB Players Association officials said Wednesday night. The five-year deal—which will go to a ratification vote by players on Thursday and to MLB owners for a vote in coming days—will at least double the pay of minor-league players and provide other benefits. Last September, MLB voluntarily recognized the union, which made the MLB Players Association the bargaining agent for minor league players.
☆ A Parasite May Explain Why Some People Are Driven to Start a Company
  + stars: | 2022-12-21 | by ( Adam Rogers | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +14 min
When wolves in Yellowstone National Park get infected with a cat parasite called Toxoplasma gondii, they become more likely to leave their packs and start new ones. The Yellowstone wolf data hints that it's just the side effect of a protozoan inhabiting our brains in a failed attempt to make more protozoa. So why would any of this make an infected wolf want to start its own pack? That was the suggestion of an influential 2006 paper titled "Can the Common Brain Parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, Influence Human Culture?" Just because Toxo might drive an alpha male to start a company, that doesn't mean it'll be a successful company.
☆ 'Crazy stuff is happening at my work': Silicon Valley engineers are really freaking out right now

Silicon Valley, perhaps even more than the rest of corporate America, has long been engaged in a two-sided battle over the pursuit of happiness. In the Silicon Valley that emerges on Blind, the engineers who strive for work-life balance are just as burned out as the late-night grinders. But Silicon Valley has always overindexed for Optimizers. If this is Silicon Valley today, nobody's happy, and everybody's burnt. Stereotypically, Silicon Valley engineers are grinders.

1 travel destination trend in the U.S., per Google's "Year in Search 2019" results. 3) Bora BoraSunset from the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora. In 2009, Club Med Bora Bora shuttered its doors. Home to a crystalline lagoon and sugary sands, Bora Bora is a good spot to swim with sharks (the pleasant kind), rays and even whales. Americans search for "all-inclusive" resorts as well as specific hotels, such as the Four Seasons and St. Regis properties.
