<jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> NOW reported this week that a genetic discovery promises to boost rice yields; animal reserves can be good for people, too; a way to measure the average body temperature of animals that lived millions of years ago; and a new estimate puts the number of arthropod species in the tropics at about 3.7 million, well below the 30 million once suggested; among other stories. </jats:p>

<jats:p> When a team reported last week that certain particles showed a huge matter-antimatter asymmetry, physicists—and the front page of <jats:italic>The New York Times</jats:italic> —took note, as it could be a sign of new particles. But the marginal result could be a fluke, and theorists say it's difficult to explain why the effect is so big in this study and so small in earlier work on related particles. </jats:p>

<jats:p>A proposal to stop funneling dollars directly to U.S. surveillance and research for most mosquito and other vector-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and dengue has scientists concerned that if the plan sticks, the country will be ill-prepared to handle new emerging diseases and manage existing ones.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Unless human-rights organizations score a last-minute victory, one or more life scientists could find themselves in an awkward spot next month: to be awarded a prize by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) that is named after one of Africa's most infamous dictators.</jats:p>

<jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> Insider has been providing dedicated team coverage of the Gulf oil spill, including a critical look at the much-ballyhooed risk that the Loop Current would drive the oil to Florida, among other stories. </jats:p>

<jats:p> Last week in an interview with several <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> staffers, National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins discussed the budget prospects of the for next year and spoke of his role in luring former NIH director Harold Varmus back to head the National Cancer Institute. </jats:p>

<jats:p>After a year of review, the National Institutes of Health has unveiled a plan for cracking down on conflicts of interest in biomedical research. The changes would require researchers to report more financial information to their employers, have the institutions and not researchers decide when a conflict exists, and make some of the reported information public.</jats:p>

<jats:p>As the world's first civilizations emerged in the 3rd millennium B.C.E., an obscure region in eastern Arabia served as a crucial trade link while developing a surprisingly sophisticated independent culture of its own.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Archaeological discoveries show a maritime link between the Indus, Arabia, and Mesopotamia in what may have been the world's first oceangoing vessels. But debate continues over the design of what may have been the world's first oceangoing vessels.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Omani soil is providing a bevy of archaeological surprises, but researchers there also struggle with rapid development and a lack of homegrown expertise.</jats:p>
