ScienceBites' mission is to build a network of bites sites.
Every bites site shares the same concept. They publish short digestible bites posts about individual research papers, making cutting-edge science accessible to a wide audience.
Through its role in science communication, ScienceBites also wants to clearly state its core values of tolerance and anti-racism.

Alex de Minaur recovers from match point down to beat Alexander Zverev
Carlos Alcaraz launches comeback of his own to leave event level at 5-5
For much of his afternoon on court against Alexander Zverev, Alex de Minaur seemed destined to end his day with an excruciating defeat. De Minaur had rapidly found himself down a set and a break, then Zverev served for the match at 6-2, 5-4. After miraculously giving himself another lifeline, De Minaur finally faced a match point at 8-9 in the final set tie-break.
No matter how grim the scoreline appeared, though, every effort he made was punctuated by roars of approval from one person in particular. There were loud screams of encouragement, pounding of chairs and stamping of feet. At one point, as doubt had crept into Zverev’s game during the second set tie-break, that unmistakable voice from the sidelines yelled out: “Check his oil! Check his oil!”

The England support can accept losing when their team plays with cut and thrust. More to the point, they can accept losing to Spain who, at times, played football from a different stratosphere.
England were game. They were driven by Jude Bellingham, who ran on adrenaline and played to the point of maximum expression. They had positive surges either side of the interval, especially the one towards the end of the first half when goals from Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane put them in charge, hauling them back after Lamine Yamal’s second-minute goal.

It was a regular match. Until it wasn’t. In 1969, I was 17 and had been living in Sydney with my tennis coach, Vic Edwards, and his family for several years. I had left my home town of Barellan – on Wirajudjuri country in the Riverina region of New South Wales – to pursue my tennis dreams in the big smoke.
The year before, I had finished high school at Willoughby girls high – where I was the only Aboriginal student – and I was doing my secretarial course in the city. The Metropolitan Business College where I studied was conveniently located near the headquarters of the Foundation for Aboriginal Affairs.

As I stepped out of Penang international airport, the humidity hit me like I was peering into a just-opened rice cooker. The air carried whiffs of exhaust fumes, fried food and something earthy. It felt thrilling and familiar because I was born in Penang and lived there for six years before I moved to Australia. I looked back at my three children who were visiting for the first time. They were draped over their suitcases like wilted lettuce. “Welcome to Penang,” I said, wiping sweat off my brow.
It was July 2026. It had been 13 years since I last visited Penang, when my father had hosted a lavish wedding dinner featuring a champagne fountain and swan-shaped ice sculpture for me and my new husband. For my white, Australian husband, it was a trip of firsts: his first Chinese tea ceremony; his first 10-course banquet; the first time he met my extended family. But for me, it had been the last time I’d spoken Mandarin and the last time I had seen my grandmother before she died.

In 2024, about 18 months after my fiance Jamie passed away, I decided I was lonely and horny and so put myself out there on the apps. I’d placed Jamie’s ashes on the TV cabinet in the living room, so he was smack bang in the middle of his two favourite places: his spot on the couch and his coffee machine. It also meant he was in the centre of the house, which made dating hard.
I had a guy over for a hook-up one night and he kept fixating on the urn. “So … He’s dead?”

Dear Lazyweb, please help me figure out why OBS keeps doing this crazy thing where sometimes audio goes into slo-mo dubstep glitch mode. Sometimes switching inputs fixes it. Sometimes only "sudo killall coreaudiod" fixes it. Here's what it sounds like. It seems to be doubling the spacing of the frames, and the buffer is infinite.
Even worse is that my check-volume.pl script fails to detect it much of the time. On this particular TS file it reports "glitchy: 27.4 dropouts/sec over 6.2 secs" but when scanning the live .m3u8 stream it often misses it.
Macmini9,1 macOS 14.8.7, OBS 32.2.2. OBS is reading audio and video from a Kiloview E1 NDI. Audio Hijack 4.6.0, but it "shouldn't" be involved in this?

I took this photo of the statue of “Tokiemon Fuji,” who founded Amami no Sato, with my iPhone 17 Pro Max during my visit to Kagoshima, Japan. He was a master craftsman dedicated to preserving and revitalizing Oshima Tsumugi—a highly intricate, traditionally mud-dyed silk textile unique to the Amami Islands…

I took this photo of “Amami no Sato” with my iPhone 17 Pro Max during my visit to Kagoshima, Japan. This is the natural beauty of Amami Oshima. It’s a beautiful, sprawling Japanese garden with a variety of trees, rocks, ponds, and bridges, established in 1974 by Tokiemon Fuji. There’s also a museum dedicated to the history of Oshima tsumugi pongee, where visitors can learn about this gorgeous fabric. I loved the bright colors of the Bougainvillea plants…
