    Hieroglyphs from the Sky

    What are snowflakes? Is it true that no two are alike? On the 28th of January, 1887, the town of Fort Keogh in Montana was experiencing unusually heavy snowfall. A ranch owner named Matt Coleman became a witness to this unique natural phenomenon. Amidst the falling snowflakes, one attracted his attention above all the rest: it was nearly 16 inches wide and 8 inches thick! Even today, it still holds the status of the largest snowflake ever recorded.  Such large flakes appear during warm winter weather. It is much colder up in the atmosphere, where snowflakes form. As they fall, they melt a little and stick together. If you catch one on your mitten, you can see that it actually consists of several different flakes. And each one is unique.  But how do we know that? Has someone examined every snowflake in the world and proved once and for all that no two of them are alike? Of course not! But that doesn’t stop scientists from confidently stating there could never be two identical snowflakes. To understand why, we have to figure out what snowflakes are and how they appear.  Story told by Garrett Tucker.

    Mary Anning and a World Full of Monsters

    Toothy ichthyosaurs, giant plesiosaurs, flying pterosaurs... What beasts could possibly be more terrifying?

    William of Occam and His Razor: The Ruthless Blade of Logic

    The surgeon holds a scalpel, the archaeologist wields a pickaxe, the physicist can expose you to an electric shock, and the chemist possesses an entire set of tools in their laboratory.

    Who Taught Doctors to Wash Their Hands? The History of Asepsis and Antisepsis

    “First, wash your hands, and then you may eat.” Sometimes this rule can be really annoying, but we have it for a reason. We wash our hands to minimize contact with pathogenic microorganisms. But imagine how people lived when they had no clue that microbes existed! And that was only a century and a half ago.  Story told by Garrett Tucker.  You can discover even more about science and the world around us in our magazine, so head over to oyla.us to check it out!

    Natural-born manipulators

    For decades, science fiction has captured our imaginations with terrifying plots of mind control and human subjugation. But who would have thought that the fungi that turned people into zombies in a popular game-turned-TV-series could be somewhat realistic? Parasitism and the manipulation of hosts are mechanisms not invented by science fiction writers but rather by... nature itself. There are numerous examples of one organism taking over the body and will of another. In this episode of the OYLA podcast, we will cover nature’s most terrifying manipulators.    Story told by Garrett Tucker.   You can discover even more about science and the world around us in our magazine, so head over to oyla.us to check it out!
