Monday's Science Links

This week's Science:

• Martin at Aardvarchaeology shows lovely pictures of the 16th century Djurham sword that he recently found in Sweden.


• Carel at Rigor Vitae talks about rattlesnakes, and has some of his great art to accompany the dissertation.


• Mark Liberman at Langauge Log looks at that Hungarian computer dog 'language' study, reading the actual paper before he comments.


• Julianne at Cosmic Variance shares a story about the amazing adaptive qualities of children and the amazing modern medicine that can help them.


• Stefan at Back Reaction tells us that Mercury looks almost like the Moon - and talks about the Messenger mission and Copernicus, too.

Enjoy!
