Researchers say an orangutan appeared to treat a wound with medicine from a tropical plant. It's the latest example of how some animals attempt to soothe their own ills with remedies found in the wild.

    You may want to read Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Ruin (after Children of Time). If you haven’t already…

        Read Children of Time first, but the whole series is good. Basically anything he writes is good.

          Children of Time had me bawling over spiders. I get all teared up even thinking about it.

          I’m currently mowing through “The Final Architecture” series and that hits me in the feels too. Can’t say why, spoilers!

            I’m reading “Lords of uncreation”. I recommend Dogs of War too. Rex is a good boy.
