These seem to be the missing missing links:

Sex differences: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627311010439

Mental dexterity: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2012/jan/06/memory-loss-begins-at-45-says-study?CMP=twt_fd

9-foot-tall supersoldier: http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2011/12/9-foot-tall-supersoldier-mourns-kim-jong-il/250658/

“Inavertently funny sub-heading: ‘Mental dexterity and brain power deteriorates earlier than thought’” and “9-foot-tall supersoldier mourns Kim Jong Il” need links!

Also, amazing choice for first link this week. I clicked and read all the way through.

Your appendix could save your life. V. cool test of the idea that it’s a sanctuary for helpful gut bacteria, by Rob Dunn.

“Research about sex differences in the brain has been distorted by nonscientists to an extraordinary degree.”

^^ seems the links got left out of these?

Once again… this is an amazing collection of cool stuff. Thanks
