- This week at The Molecular Ecologist: The new genomic story of cat domestication, the evolution of salamander-algae symbiosis, and a recap of The Entomological Society of America meeting.
- Two steps forward, one step back. The FDA may soon let gay men donate blood—if they haven’t had any sex in the past year.

- Guess I’m on Lyft, now. The increasingly nasty behavior of app-based car service Uber.
- Progress, but enough? Migrating monarch butterflies seem to be doing better this year.
