This is a selection of the thousands of native potato varieties that grow in Peru. What is evenmore interesting is that agronomists are looking to the ancestral knowledge of Peruvian farmers to identify genetic strains that can resist climate change https://t.co/BOo5BxhDdl

Five People. One Test. This Is How You Get There. https://t.co/2rbc8eIo21
Mathematically, this works out. Ethically, what do you think? As a public policy question? Bringing science mainstream asks many more questions beyond the scientific method.

Though it sounds weird, the core of the Earth is about 2.5 years younger than the crust and this is due to gravitational time dilation, a consequence of General Relativity https://t.co/hVqzPxV2I6 [gif: https://t.co/eQ1xJa6G2p]

The more you can see - the more new worlds you can explore. It's astonishing what we learn when new instrumentation lights the path -- especially in space.

People often confuse the positions of knee and the ankle in most animals. Counscious of this, illustrator Satoshi Kawasaki imagined what would happen if human legs were drawn using animals' skeletons as a base.
