GRB 050713A: High Energy Observations of the GRB Prompt and Afterglow Emission

, 2006
Swift discovered GRB 050713A and slewed promptly to begin observing with its narrow field instruments 72.6 seconds after the burst onset, while the prompt gamma-ray emission was still detectable in the BAT.

Hologenomics Reveals Specialized Dietary Adaptations in the Mengla Snail‐Eating Snake

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dietary adaptation studies from a holobiome perspective are scarce beyond mammals. This research reveals how genomic and microbial interactions drive dietary specialization in the Mengla snail‐eating snake, with evidence of gut symbiont convergence between reptiles and mammals.

Pythagoras at the Bat

, 2014
The Pythagorean formula is one of the most popular ways to measure the true ability of a team. It is very easy to use, estimating a team's winning percentage from the runs they score and allow. This data is readily available on standings pages; no computationally intensive simulations are needed.
