Like many large companies, MusclePharm has seen its share of both positive and negative press. Over the past two years the nutritional supplements manufacturer has battled lawsuits alleging price discrimination, environmental violations and patent infringement — all while bringing home boatloads of best-product awards and celebrity athlete endorsements. In short, it’s a company whose popularity has so far managed to drown out the cries of naysayers.

A major paradigm shift is taking the science world by storm. Open source is taking over.
For more than a century, scientists have depended on peer-reviewed journals to keep them up to date on the latest research. But as many of these journals have raised their subscription fees to bank-breaking levels, and locked life-saving research behind exorbitant paywalls, the gloves are finally coming off. Thousands of researchers are fighting back by boycotting publishers, submitting their papers to open-access journals like PLOS ONE and PNAS, and – most excitingly of all – making their datasets freely available online, for everyone.

Researchers may have discovered a way to protect against the transmission of HIV–a worldwide epidemic that now infects about 35 million people.
Nobel Laureate Dr. David Baltimore and colleagues at his Caltech lab are injecting mice with a powerful prophylaxis called VIP. And guess what? It works. Caltech postdoctoral fellow Alex Balazs is heading up this groundbreaking research. So is it now time to test this approach in humans?

Even Charles Darwin marveled at the length of the barnacle’s penis. In some species, it’s up to eight times the body length. Not all barnacles are so well-endowed, however, raising the question of how animals that can’t reach their neighbors get it on. Now, new research suggests that at least one short-penised barnacle, the Pacific gooseneck barnacle, oozes sperm directly into the water for mates to capture, an approach that researchers previously considered too haphazard for the sedentary crustaceans.
.
Its penis may be shorter than other barnacles, but this one still gets around.

Stargazers looking up as darkness falls on Monday (Jan. 21) will notice an eye catching pairing-off between two of the brightest objects in the nighttime sky, weather permitting.
The moon, appearing as a waxing gibbous phase, 78 percent illuminated, will appear to stand close below a very bright, non-twinkling, silvery “star.” But it won’t be a star that will be keeping the moon company on America’s Inauguration Night, but the largest planet in our solar system: Jupiter.
.
This sky map shows the location of Jupiter as it dances with the moon on
the evening of Jan. 21, 2013. This diagram shows the appearance of the pair
from Jan. 20 to Jan. 23rd, looking south, high in the evening sky.

Which is our universe’s oldest star? Astronomers now say the honor may go to HD 140283, a gassy giant that’s celebrated an estimated 13.2 billion birthdays, give or take a couple hundred million, according to the January 2013 issue of Nature.
“We believe this star is the oldest known in the Universe with a well determined age,” Howard Bond, an astronomer at Pennsylvania State University, told Nature. The finding was announced January 10, at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Long Beach, Calif.
.
The oldest known star in the universe is ‘HD 140283,’ estimated to be 13.2 billion years old (not pictured).

Black carbon, or soot, is making a much larger contribution to global warming than previously recognized, according to research.
Scientists say that particles from diesel engines and wood burning could be having twice as much warming effect as assessed in past estimates.
They say it ranks second only to carbon dioxide as the most important climate-warming agent.
The research is in the Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres.

Children are not the only ones who can learn from Big Bird and brain scans of children and adults watching “Sesame Street” reveal how brains change as they learn reading and math, researchers say.
One goal of brain imaging is discovering more about how children learn. Such an understanding of the building blocks of learning might help diagnose and treat learning difficulties.
For instance, “when children fail to learn mathematics well, there could be a number of different reasons for that and it could be that they have weak concepts of numbers, that they have poor memory, that they have limited attention,” researcher Jessica Cantlon, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Rochester in New York, told LiveScience. Brain tests could help determine the precise cause of a kid’s math impairments, “because different patterns of brain activity likely accompany each of those different cognitive impairments.”

The Mona Lisa is arguably the most famous painting in the world. Have you ever wondered why? Leonardo Da Vinci was masterful at manipulating our own visual shortcomings to make us feel something beautiful, complicated, even unsettling. There’s just something about her smile.
Dr. Margaret Livingstone, a visual neurophysiologist at Harvard, knows this all too well. I recently spoke with her about how our visual systems have evolved to process one of the inventions that sets us apart from non-human animals–art.

A dive to the undersea cliff where a famous Roman shipwreck rests has turned up either evidence that the wreck is enormous — or a suggestion that, not one, but two sunken ships are resting off the Greek island of Antikythera.
“Either way, it’s an exciting result,” said study researcher Brendan Foley, an archaeologist at Woods Hold Oceanographic Institution who presented the findings here today (Jan. 4) at the annual meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America.
.
The Antikythera wreck is famed for the massive number of artifacts pulled from
the site overthe past century. Here divers explore the site.
