Chemical defoliants sprayed on Amazon rainforest to facilitate deforestation in Brazil. Glyphosate and 2,4-D, among others, cause the trees to defoliate, and end up weakened or dead in a process that takes months. Next criminals remove the remaining trees more easily and drop grass seeds by aircraft, consolidating deforestation.

Golden blood’ is incredibly important to medicine, but for the 43 people worldwide known to have it, it poses a unique danger. Golden blood is actually the nickname for Rh-null, the world’s rarest blood type. What makes Rh-null so rare, and why is it so dangerous to live with? For the fewer than 50 people with this blood type, finding a blood transfusion could be extremely difficult.

Mysterious object unlike anything astronomers have seen before. What to make of a newly discovered pulsing radiation source? Unfortunately, it’s fairly clear these signals aren’t the work of little green men. As Hurley-Walker explains, the pulses of radiation come across a wide range of frequencies, which rules out an artificial signal, pointing instead to some kind of natural process we don’t yet fully understand.
