Inside Science is brought to you in part through the generous support of The American Physical Society and The Acoustical Society of America and a coalition of underwriters . THE BROOD X CICADAS HAVE ARRIVED (Inside Science) -- Over the past few weeks, billions of cicadas have been appearing in backyards and gardens across the mid-Atlantic United States. Every 17 years, three species of periodical cicadas in this region emerge from their underground world to molt, eat, mate and lay eggs. In the barrage, people have been spectating, snapping pictures, and even stirring cicadas into their sushi. IS THE INTERNET CHANGING THE WAY WE THINK? (Inside Science) -- Is the internet changing the way that we think? Yes, it totally is. For one thing, it’s made us all dual-screeners -- constant access to information makes us multi-task more, and more multitasking makes us more distractible. Even if you’re the king of multitasking, there’s often so much new information cramming itself onto our screens, at any given time, that we find PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS CHANGING FISH BEHAVIOR (ISNS) -- Psychiatric medicines that are excreted by humans and find their way into waterways can change the behavior of fish in rivers and streams, scientists report in a new study. Researchers found that wild European perch exposed to the anxiety-moderating drug oxazepam in an experimental pond in Sweden were less fearful and are more aggressive feeders.

They do it without thinking, even now during the coronavirus pandemic, when health officials say not to. By some estimates, nearly a quarter of respiratory illnesses could be prevented by hand-washing, implying that people often contract such illnesses by touching their faces. A LINGUISTIC LENS ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (Inside Science) -- Automatic speech recognition is an important technology for many people. They ask Alexa to play them music or Siri to call their mother. Sometimes the technology doesn't understand the users or provide the answers they want. With some technologies, that's because artificial intelligence just isn't as adaptable and responsiveas an actual human.

WHY YOU SHOULD PROBABLY GET A COVID-19 VACCINE EVEN IF YOU (Inside Science) -- COVID-19 vaccines could provide stronger, longer-lasting immunity than recovering from the disease itself, say experts. Most people who recover from COVID-19 probably enjoy some degree of protection against getting the disease again. Both the strength of that protection and how long it lasts remain open questions, with the answers complicated by a mixture of conflicting EENSY WEENSY SPIDER SILK TAKES THE TEMPERATURE OF A SINGLE (Inside Science) -- Even though he works with spiders regularly, Yao Zhang, a physicist at Jinan University in China, admits he's afraid of them. In fact, most of the people in his lab are, except for graduate student Zhiyong Gong, who keeps spiders as pets in his dorm. Naturally, Gong was the one who volunteered to harvest spider silk in the lab as part of the group's efforts to study how the ARTICLES BY ERIN ROSS The head's structure may not explain as much about an animal's postureas long believed.
THE TRUTH ABOUT MASKS AND COUGHS Wearing a mask is a very effective way to reduce the amount of saliva someone coughs into a room, which means that if sick people wear masks, everyone else will be better protected. But for a healthy person wearing a mask, the mask's ability to protect against influenza is unproven. "The problem with wearing masks," said Julian Tang, aclinical
ARTICLES BY DEVIN POWELL A study of lakes in Connecticut reveals that recreational angling pushes largemouth bass to evolve. THE LONELY TREK OF THE 'STEPPENWOLF' PLANETS (Inside Science) -- Think of a world without a sun -- a world where there is no day, no seasons, a world as dark as space itself. Astronomers believe there are such wandering planets. How many is debatable. They have been freed from the grasp of their own suns, perhaps by gravitational collapse when their solar system was formed. Some may simply have been struck like a billiard ball by BISON SLAUGHTER’S DESTRUCTIVE LEGACY FOR NATIVE AMERICANS (Inside Science) -- In 1870, there were at least 10 million bison in the southern herd on the North American plains. Fewer than 20 years later, only 500 wild animals remained. That part of the story -- the bloody removal of the animals for hides, meat and to devastate Native American communities -- is well-known. We have countless movies, books and ballads about the dust-strewn slaughter. SUPERMOONS CARVE AWAY AT SANDY BEACHES BY COMMANDEERING (Inside Science) -- As the moon orbits the Earth and the Earth orbits the sun, gravitational forces of these heavenly bodies drag the ocean back and forth in a never-ending dance. A full moon makes both high and low tide even more extreme. A few times a year, an even larger "supermoon" pushes the tides into overdrive by heightening this effect. Now, 25 years of research into moon and tidal DOES THE WORLD NEED A MORE POWERFUL SUPERCOLLIDER (Inside Science) -- In 2012, particle physicists detected the long-sought-after Higgs boson for the first time. This particle was the last missing puzzle piece of what physicists call the Standard Model -- the most thoroughly tested set of physical laws that govern our universe. The Higgs discovery was made possible by a giant machine in Europe, known as the Large Hadron Collider that uses aINSIDE SCIENCE

THE HISTORY BEHIND 'HIDDEN FIGURES' (Inside Science) -- The Oscar-nominated movie "Hidden Figures" brought significant attention to the accomplishments of Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan -- three African-American women who worked for NASA during the space race.

Tuesday, July 2, 2013. Inside Science Television.

Now, scientists at the University of Central Florida are experimenting with a new therapy that uses salt to killcancer cells.
UNCOVERING DA VINCI'S RULE OF THE TREES (ISNS) -- As trees shed their foliage this fall, they reveal a mysterious, nearly universal growth pattern first observed by Leonardo da Vinci 500 years ago: a simple yet startling relationship that always holds between the size of a tree's trunk and sizes of its branches. A new paper has reignited the debate over why trees grow this way, asserting that they may be protecting themselves from DETECTING BAD ALMONDS BEFORE YOU BITE (Inside Science) -- California produces more than 80 percent of the world's almonds. While most taste like, well, almonds, some may harbor a nasty surprise when cooked: a bitter taste that leaves some people grimacing. "You'll get a handful of these almonds in your mouth, you'll take a couple of chews on them, and you're spitting them out they're so bad," said Alyson Mitchell, a food chemist HOW DO ENERGY DRINKS GIVE YOU ENERGY? First, how do caffeine and sugar actually work? When caffeine reaches your brain, it crosses the blood-brain barrier and stimulates your brain cells -- neurons -- indirectly. It stops them from detecting the sleep-inducing chemical adenosine. This chemical builds up in your brain throughout the day and slows down the activity of your nervecells.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE WERE NO MOON? 1. Nights would be much, much darker. The next brightest object in the night sky is Venus. But it still wouldn't be enough to light up the sky. A full moon is nearly two thousand times brighter than Venus is at its brightest. 2. Without the moon, a day on earth would only last six to twelve hours.

CORAL REEFS ARE CHANGING THEIR SMELLS IN A WARMER WORLD (Inside Science) -- The aromas of a beach strewn with seaweed or a garden full of blooming flowers are more than just momentary sensory experiences.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OIL SANDS PIPELINES SPILL? (Inside Science) -- In June next year, a remote lake in Canada will suffer eight simultaneous oil spills. But it will be for a good cause. Scientists are trying to learn how dilbit, or diluted bitumen -- the complex mixture of bitumen, gasoline and other chemicals that flows through pipelines and is hauled on railway cars away from Canada's oil sands -- behaves when it is released into the GOOD VIBRATIONS FOR COMPUTATIONS (Inside Science) -- Electronic computers, like the one you're using to read this story, are a fantastically successful technology, having grown in just 70 years into a bedrock of the global economy.
