After news about Oliver Sacks's "lies", we revisit his best-loved book
Last year, The New Yorker revealed the late Sacks's "guilt" about his “falsification” in The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat, but is this story about more than just the facts?

Erratum for the Research Article “In vivo generation of CAR myeloid cells through erythrocyte-mediated mRNA delivery for cancer immunotherapy” | Science Translational Medicine
In the published version of the Research Article “In vivo generation of CAR myeloid cells through erythrocyte-mediated mRNA delivery for cancer immunotherapy” by X. Nie et al., three images in Fig. 1I—those depicting E-LNP-mEry–, Cre-LNP–, and Cre-LNP-mEry–mediated gene expression in the livers of Cre reporter mice—were inadvertently placed in the wrong order. The figure has been corrected, and the data and conclusions are not affected.

We may finally know why dinosaurs like T. rex evolved tiny arms
Five different groups of predatory dinosaurs independently evolved disproportionately small arms, and it seems they did so because their heads became so large and powerful

Wind-assisted cargo ships could more than halve shipping emissions
If wind-assisted cargo ships chose routes based entirely on where the winds are better, their fuel use could be cut in half or even completely eliminated
