    Quirky, inventive study about people's imagined physics, based on how hard they think it would be to cast magical spells. It's harder to conjure a frog into existence than to levitate it, for example. via

    Unbelievably cool RCT of network effects in medicine: 1,676 ppl w first-degree *relatives* w gastric cancer were randomly assigned to a week of antibiotics. Over 14-year follow-up, cancer developed in 1.2% w treatment & 2.7% w placebo. via

    Impressive, rapid gene analysis of n2019-nCoV suggests single introduction into human pop followed by human transmission, likely via single infected animal (or v small cluster of animals/humans). No further evidence of zoonotic transmission. h/t
