Joana Lobo Antunes @JoanaLA at the Champalimaud PostDoc day, describing the moment when she realised science communication could be more than something you do on the side (spoiler: there was a lot of screaming across age groups).

'Twenty days after being infected with C. rodentium, only half of mice that had been bred to lack C3 survived. By contrast, all animals with normal C3 levels survived.

How did birds evolve wings?

A partial wing is of no use for flying, but natural selection can't plan ahead and allow a species to gradually evolve toward wings that are actually useful for flying.

Researchers have proposed a wide range of possible original purposes for wings, ranging from thermoregulation to knocking down insects to running up hills.
