Science Bitches!

1) Fighting diseases is always important, and it's good to see progress being made on a particularly deadly one. Also this is a look into how vaccines really work and why they're FUCKING SAFE YOU MORONS; we're taking advantage of Mother Nature's already highly advanced mechanisms to throw a curveball at a particularly nasty bug. http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/antibodies-ebola-survivor-found-cure-infected-monkeys

2) Really good explanation with visual aids and a scale model of the sensing equipment involved. If you didn't understand the discovery before, you ABSOLUTELY will after this. http://www.iflscience.com/space/watch-physicist-brian-greene-explain-gravitational-waves-stephen-colbert

3) Just an interesting look at how the calendar is developed to make sure the months stay in the seasons the way we know them. http://www.iflscience.com/editors-blog/science-behind-leap-years-and-how-they-work

4) A win against cancer - what's not to like? http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/hpv-rates-fall-teenage-girls-following-vaccine

5) The ocean covers so much of our world, contains so many resources, and we understand so little of it. Space is easy by comparison; it's empty. The ocean is hiding so many weird things down there, and it's awesome and terrifying. http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/mysterious-deep-hum-found-within-oceans-twilight-zone
