Monday Science Links

Here's your weekly dose of science:

• Darren at Tetrapod Zoology shows us some weird frogs - green-boned, glass, poison, and others


• John at John Hawks Anthropology Website looks at "flame-haired Neandertals" (or were they golden-haired?).


• Will of The Dragon's Tales discusses mass extinction events, particularly the end of the Cretaceous and the Permian.


• Jennifer at Cocktail Party Physics tells us about Tom Reiss's glasses - a way to help Parksinson's sufferers walk normally again.


• John at Cosmic Variance gives us a primer on particle physics in Higgs 101, the search for the boson and the answer to this question: why do fundamental particles have masses at all, and the rather peculiar masses they do have? And so what? What then?

Enjoy!
