Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have watched our planet's seasons from **** e and discovered that spring, summer, winter, and fall are surprisingly out of sync.

Even regions that are side by side can experience different weather and ecological patterns, sculpting wildly different neighboring habitats.

A group of researchers say it's time for academia to get serious about studying UFOs.

Michael Cifone, the society's co-founder and president, said he's interested in what he calls "the empirical weird."
His catch-all phrase encompasses things that blur the lines between the real and the possible, phenomena that defy easy explanation: the spiritual, the parano

Maggots may be the key to more accurately determining when people died, according to Florida researchers, pointing to the genetic makeup of larvae.
The findings build on previous methods that investigators have used to determine when people died. Currently, investigators rely on the outer appearance of maggots and the presence of eggs on decomposing bodies to estimate people's death dates.
However, researchers at Miami’s Florida International University (FIU) have found that by observing maggots’ genes and metabolic changes, investigators can better estimate when people died.
