California fires, precipitation, and jet stream
Simulations of future California climate suggest that under high CO2 conditions, by the late 21st century, increasing temperatures could lead to reduced snowpack, drier summers, and increased fire risk, independent of changes in winter precipitation.

Mapping past Solar System dynamics
Researchers report a system for obtaining information about planetary motions approximately 200 million years ago, and the system could help constrain models of Solar System evolution and provide tests of gravitational models.

Twins and prenatal testosterone exposure
Compared with female co-twins not exposed to a male co-twin inside the uterus, female co-twins exposed to a male co-twin had 15.2% higher probability of dropping out of high school, 8.6% lower earnings at age 32, and 5.8% fewer children, according to a study.
