I just finished reading the Saturday, September 10, 2011 issue of Science News (Kindle edition). Among the highlights:
* Antidepressants (more specifically, SSRIs) show signs of countering Alzheimer's.
* Bypass surgery's surprising side effect of reversing diabetes.
* New plans for solar sails.
* And how "the most devastating wildlife disease in recorded history" is laying waste to bats in North America and what it means to humans in terms of crop damage (billions of dollars) and increased risk of insect-borne diseases as a result of having one million (so far) deaths of these insectivorous mammals by a fungus that is attacking them when they are hibernating and most vulnerable.
