To play or not to play? That is rarely the question but in this week's Nature News.....it actually is. After an experiment involving sharks & human toys took place during a controlled study, a question was raised asking "do sharks play?".

It's also that magical time of year where we have.....AN AVIAN FLU UPDATE. Okay, so not quite the festive feels but nevertheless, an important look into what this virus is doing.
