I ask him to introduce himself as a warmup question for our interview, and about two sentences in he catches sight of the pack-in instruction manual for Game Boy Advance classic Golden Sun on a floating shelf behind me and points it out. “Is that an instruction manual?

Renovations on government buildings in the coastal Belgian town of Nieuwpoort are currently on hold after surveyors discovered an impressive archaeological trove: dozens of carefully crafted stone cannonballs dating as far back as the 14th century. However, the medieval ammunition backstock wasn’t the only weaponry buried roughly 70 miles west of Brussels. According to city officials, experts also excavated an unexploded artillery shell from World War I. “What has been exposed here in recent weeks proves that Nieuwpoort is a city where history is…
Servers operated by Ubuntu and its parent company Canonical were knocked offline on Thursday morning and have remained down ever since, a situation that’s preventing the OS provider from communicating normally following the botched disclosure of a major vulnerability. Attempts to connect to most Ubuntu and Canonical webpages and download OS updates from Ubuntu servers have consistently failed over the past 24 hours. Updates from mirror sites, however, have continued to work normally. A Canonical status page said: “Canonical’s web infrastructure is under a sustained, cross-border attack and we are working to address it.” Other than that, Ubuntu and Canonical…

Of all the known ways to get an Acanthamoeba infection, nasal rinsing was the most likely one in the man’s case. The man had nasal polyps and used sinus rinses to alleviate his symptoms. However, his symptoms didn’t start in his nasal passages—they started on his legs. There, red nodules formed and progressed to develop dark centers. Some became deep ulcers, while others became necrotic, turning to black scabs. Then began erupting on his trunk, arms, and neck. Catching a killer Before his transfer to Yale, doctors elsewhere tried to identify the mysterious cause, doing multiple biopsies of his diseased…

At a wildlife park in Germany, a young ring-tailed lemur did something bold: It launched itself at an adult ruffed lemur and started gently slapping and grabbing her. Rather than putting an end to these antics, the bigger, stronger ruffed lemur just rolled onto her back, flashed a relaxed open-mouth expression, and let the little one tackle her. The playful wrestling match that ensued between these two different species caught researchers’ attention. In a report published in February in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution,…

It’s been 250 years since the United States decided it was no longer interested in being part of Great Britain. To celebrate the momentous anniversary—called a semiquincentennial—the non-profit America250 has numerous events planned including something quite timely. A roughly 2,000-pound time capsule will be buried at Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park on July 4, 2026.
