Uncover the most intriguing tales from the world of science! From mysterious enigmas to underground flowering plants, stay amazed with these fascinating stories.

In a recent church-sponsored town hall in Colorado Springs, Representative Scott Bottoms raised eyebrows by rejecting the science of biological evolution. Meanwhile, Corpus Christi ISD students showcased their STEM skills at a district-wide science fair, highlighting the importance of promoting science education at a young age. While some great enigmas continue to baffle scientists worldwide, events like 'Science Meets Art' in Del Mar bridge the gap between scientific research and creative expression.

One of the latest botanical discoveries, a plant named Pinanga subterranea, has been identified as flowering underground in Borneo, adding to the list of unique species found in the region. Additionally, research on aphasia shed light on the communication challenges faced by individuals like Bruce Willis, emphasizing the importance of understanding language disorders in science and medicine. As trust in science varies among different age groups, studies by institutions like UC3M and USC explore the perception of science across different generations.

Furthermore, the Bureau of Land Management's initiative to engage 'citizen scientists' aims to involve the public in conservation efforts, showcasing the collaborative nature of science. PhD student Christer de Silva's experience at the Centre for the Public Awareness of Science offers insights into the world of scientific research and public engagement.
