Podcast: Sizing up a baby dino, jolting dead brains, and dirty mice
Online news editor David Grimm shares stories on a possible debunking of a popular brain stimulation technique, using “dirty” mice in the lab to simulate the human immune system, and how South American monkeys’ earliest ancestors used rafts to get to Central America. Kristi Curry Rogers joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss insights into dinosaur growth patterns from the bones of a baby titanosaur found in Madagascar. Read the research.   [Image: K. Curry Rogers et al./Science] (Source: Science Magazine Podcast)

" Frogantuan " -- The Discovery Files
A team of researchers, led by a Stony Brook University paleontologist, discovered the remains of what may be the largest frog ever to exist. The fossilized remains of this 16-inch, 10-pound ancient frog were found in Madagascar and link a group of frogs that lived 65-70 million years ago with frogs living today in South America.
