    The key to winning Olympic basketball games? Shooting 64% FGs. It's science!

    "For example, if a team was unable to generate an adequate field-goal percentage of around 64%, then a coach could shift strategic focus toward the generation of more than 40 defensive rebounds to preserve a higher probability of winning," he said.

    Of significance is the detection of peculiar tumor giant cells having bizarre nuclei likened to the “Martian Popping Thing.” Such cells are seldom seen in other carcinomas making their presence a beacon for labeling the lesion as well-differentiated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
    I think it's weird that the authors describe this thing as shaped like a Martian Popping doll and not, I don't know, a pear? Just odd that that's their first thought. Additionally, I learned that this toy is also known as Panic Pete or Bug-Out Bob. The more you know.

    This study on the effects of alcohol on aggression took a turn for the weird:

    In the study, 62 men in their 20s were randomly assigned to consume alcohol (target breath alcohol level 0.080%) or no alcohol. Participants were encouraged to talk to a simulated woman as if they were on a date
    SIMULATED woman? Are the survey participants the sorts of people who whack off to avatars? Why not a STIMULATED woman?

    I guess it's not exactly weird, but Klotho sounds like the name of an alien in a b-movie.

    https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...1123135030.htm

    Klotho expression soars after a muscle injury, whereas in old animals, it remains flat. By raising Klotho levels in old animals, or by mitigating downstream effects of Klotho deficiency, the researchers could restore muscle regeneration after injury.
    Sounds like Klotho injections will come to the NBA...

    Do cell phones make you horny?

    “Horns are growing on young people’s skulls. Phone use is to blame, research suggests”
    Must be all those 1-900 numbers...

    Astrologers wage war on cancer.

    Techniques developed by astrologers could help in the fight against breast and skin cancer. Charlie Jeynes at the University of Exeter will present his and Prof Tim Harries team's work today (3 July) at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting (NAM 2019) at the University of Lancaster.

    If these were actual astrologers, a war would've raged against the entire zodiac.

    Opioid use and misuse 3 months after ED visit for acute pain
    https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0807134722.htm
    Not really weird, once you realize the ED doesn't stand for "erectile dysfunction"
    But when I read the headline, I had visions of old guys taking fentanyl to deal with a Viagra addiction...

    The science of SVG:

    https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0815125141.htm

    Researchers found a significant relationship between how negative a coach was at half-time and how well the team played in the second half: The more negativity, the more the team outscored the opposition.
