Prototype device restores lost smell by teaching the brain to feel odors
There is new hope for people who have lost their smell. Scientists have successfully tested a breakthrough device that lets people detect the presence of certain odors. This innovative system helps them "smell" again by translating odors into feelings (like touch) inside the nose.

Flinke tegenvaller voor boeren en minister Wiersma: uitzondering mestregels verdwijnt
Een flinke tegenvaller voor Nederlandse boeren. Zij hoeven niet te rekenen op een nieuwe uitzondering op de Europese mestregels. Demissionair landbouwminister Femke Wiersma had daartoe een verzoek ingediend bij Eurocommissaris Jessika Roswall, maar dat is afgewezen. Dat meldt de BBB-bewindsvrouw aan de Tweede Kamer. "Ik vind dit besluit van de Europese Commissie zeer teleurstellend", schrijft zij.

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
The polar vortex has caused a cold snap here, and the Great Lakes are rapidly forming ice. Under this thick ice, algae are growing. These are normal diatom phytoplankton, which change to form thick chains, attaching to the underside of the ice where light is optimal. We clearly see this brown ice and water in the wake of our icebreakers. This occurs near the pole…
