The earth-shaking thud of an approaching tyrannosaurus rex in Jurassic Park is one of film’s most famous moments. But viewers tuning into the BBC’s Walking With Dinosaurs will be presented with an altogether different beast.

Dimming the Sun is not the solution to climate change, the majority of the public has been found to believe. Polling by YouGov revealed that Britons are sceptical about plans to dim the Sun though geoengineering projects, with more than half unwilling to support climate tinkering. The Advanced Research and Invention Agency (Aria), a government body, announced nearly £57 million last week for 21 “climate cooling” projects, including five outdoor field trials.

Gene editing cures child of rare disease in world first

3 weeks ago | yahoo.com | Sarah Knapton

A child with an extremely rare genetic disorder has become the first to be genetically edited for his disease in a breakthrough for people suffering from uncommon conditions. KJ Muldoon was born with a rare metabolic disease known as severe carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency, which causes a build-up of ammonia and can result in brain damage and organ failure.

The ginger gene for cats has finally been found and explains why 80 per cent are male. For more than 100 years, scientists have pondered why there are so many more male cats with orange fur and suspected the answer would lie in the X chromosome. Male cats only have one X chromosome, so it was proposed that even if they only inherited one copy of a "ginger gene" they would still have orange fur, whereas females would need two copies because they have two X chromosomes.
