Re: Did you know? (Science Edition)

Does this mean salt lakes down under are pink in general due to presence of algae? I thought algae green in color.

Here are some question for extra credits -

Is algae plural?
if yes, what is the singular form?
and why not algas?

If no, what is the plural form?

A dead heart beats again, thanks to the efforts of scientists at the University of Minnesota. To rebuild and reanimate the organ, which was harvested from a rat, scientists first stripped the old heart cells away with a detergent typically found in shampoos. That left behind a collagen matrix—the protein fibers that hold groups of cells together and help give organs their overall shape—which they then reseeded with heart cells from a newborn rat. They attached the organ to electrodes and waited. Then it happened: The heart started to beat regularly.

The reanimation technique is now being tested on pig hearts, which are much closer in structure to human hearts than are rat hearts. Organs from built-to-order collagen matrices could help treat the five million Americans who suffer from heart failure and the some 2,600 patients currently waiting for transplant donors.

^ wow. Wonder what makes all include at 75 deg - all in parallel. The reddish color - is that for a Caucasian from the west? Would an African ear hair be black?

Pygmy marmoset females have two litters each year and give birth to twins 70% of the time. For the first two weeks when the mortality rate is highest, pygmy marmoset babies will be constantly carried by the mother, but after that time, raising offspring is a communal affair. The pygmy marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea) is one of the world’s smallest monkeys – hence it is also called the dwarf monkey – and is a native of the South American.

So cute!!!

I see a commercial application - finger bells, the equivalent of bar bells. Especially handy for spin bowlers - to strengthen fingers with the mini- monkeys hanging on. Put one on for quick repititions. Two or 3 on each finger to add bulk to finger muscles. Curls, reverse curls.
