Big dinosaurs kept cool thanks to blood vessels in their heads | Science News
Massive dinosaurs came in many different forms, but they all had the same problem: Staying cool. Now, fossilized traces of blood vessels in the skulls of big-bodied dinosaurs reveal how different dinos avoided heatstroke! Brain and Cognitive Development Lab Homepage lab ...Lab Welcome to the Brain and Cognitive Development Lab website. We are located in the Psychology Department on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus. The lab is directed by Dr. Daniel C. Hyde, Associate Professor of Psychology. We study cognitive development from infancy to adulthood using brain and behavioral measures .!! Long-necked sauropods may have panted to stay cool, for example, while heavily armored ankylosaurs relied on elaborate nasal passages.
Chemical analyses of fossil sauropod teeth previously suggested that, despite their massive bodies, the animals maintained body temperatures similar to those of modern mammals ( SN: 6/23/11 ). One possible explanation for this was thermoregulation, in which blood vessels radiate excess heat, often with the help of evaporative cooling in moist parts of the body, such as the nose and mouth.
To assess how giant dinosaurs might have used thermoregulation, two vertebrate paleontologists from the Ohio Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Studies in Athens mapped blood vessel networks within fossil dinosaur skulls and skulls from dinosaurs' modern relatives, birds and reptiles!

Twist-based refrigeration: Twisting and coiling 'twistocaloric' yarns to keep cool -- ScienceDaily
An international team led by researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas and Nankai University in China has discovered a new technology for refrigeration that is based on twisting and untwisting fibers.
In research published in the Oct. 11 issue of the journal Science , they demonstrated twist-based refrigeration using materials as diverse as natural rubber, ordinary fishing line and nickel titanium wire.
"Our group has demonstrated what we call 'twistocaloric cooling' by changing the twist in fibers. We call coolers that use twist changes for refrigeration 'twist fridges,'" said Dr. Ray Baughman, director of the Alan G. MacDiarmid NanoTech Institute at UT Dallas. Baughman is a corresponding author of the study, along with Dr. Zunfeng Liu, a professor in the State Key Lab of Medicinal Chemical Biology in the College of Pharmacy at Nankai University in Tianjin.

Science historian Sarah Richardson profiled by Bennett McIntosh | Harvard Magazine
"My book doesn't offer pregnancy advice," Richardson is quick to say. What it does offer, she writes, is "insight into how and why claims about the long reach of the womb are at once beguiling, challenging to validate, stubbornly persistent once launched, and beset by scientific controversy."
Her critique gained circulation among fellow scholars years before her ideas became the book. "It's changed my whole outlook, on everything I do," says Gemma Sharp, a lecturer (professor) in molecular epidemiology at the University of Bristol in England, who met Richardson in 2017. The two soon collaborated on a pair of papers examining the "looping effect" caused by assuming the mother's influence is paramount: they urged researchers in Sharp's field not to let previously discovered correlations—or the hype surrounding them—bias what they considered in future studies. "I got a grant last year [2018] that I wrote trying to incorporate a lot of these ideas," in studying the prenatal origins of infant health, Sharp adds. "I built into the grant from the start that I would look at mums and dads.
