Scientists just gave octopuses Ecstasy for the first time and the results were profound

Scientists just gave octopuses Ecstasy for the first time and the results were profound

Posted by | Sep 21, 2018 | ,

An incredibly profound observation of the effects of methylendioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) on octopuses was just published this week in Current Biology. The findings of the study titled, A Conserved Role for Serotonergic Neurotransmission in Mediating Social Behavior in Octopus, suggest incredible implications for how social behavior is built into the very molecules coded by our DNA. Researchers chose the octopus because they are one species on this planet that seemingly couldn’t be further from a human biologically speaking. As the study points out, Human and octopus lineages are separated by over 500 million years of evolution and show divergent anatomical patterns of brain organization. One of...

Four ways the private sector can help take on water pollution

Four ways the private sector can help take on water pollution

Posted by | Sep 21, 2018 | ,

One of the biggest threats to the environment and our health is water pollution. As we all know, water is absolutely essential for life. However, today much of the limited freshwater people have access to is polluted. And in some places, it is utterly polluted. Our oceans are equally polluted, too. In fact, by many estimates, the oceans will have more plastic than fish in them by 2050. But, even though we are the ones causing the pollution, many are also attempting to combat it. And you can be a part of the clean water movement! You don’t have to...

Dog owners fake-cried so researchers could confirm the sweet truth about our pups

Dog owners fake-cried so researchers could confirm the sweet truth about our pups

Posted by | Sep 20, 2018 | , ,

In June, a study from the journal Learning and Behavior was published suggesting that many dogs “will rush over to comfort their owners if they think they’re in a predicament.”2 If you are a “dog parent” then you might have already known what science just proved: our dogs love us and can read social clues. (While previous research has shown that dogs notice and pay more attention to people who are crying, regardless of ownership, until now no attempts had been made to empirically study whether dogs were more willing to help when they perceived a human was in distress.)...

Investigation shows Nestlé, Heinz, and other major brands are STILL driving rainforest destruction for palm oil

Investigation shows Nestlé, Heinz, and other major brands are STILL driving rainforest destruction for palm oil

Posted by | Sep 20, 2018 | , , ,

In 2013, Greenpeace revealed that the world’s largest palm oil trader- Wilmar International- was “guilty of setting fires on peatland, causing widespread deforestation and illegally clearing extensive areas of precious habitat for some of the world’s most vulnerable species.”3 But, what came out of that exposé was a promise from Wilmar: “no deforestation, no peat, no exploitation.”4 However, it now seems that Wilmar had no intention of keeping their promise: “…they’ve completely failed to break ties to rainforest destruction and have instead chosen to continue perpetuating it in the name of lining their own pockets. In the words of Greenpeace USA Palm Oil Campaigner Diana Ruiz, ‘The...
