In recent memory, I’ve tried Bose’s SoundLink Plus, a portable Bluetooth speaker with big sound and a great (grassy) look; the second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds with their ridiculously good ANC; and its Ultra Open Earbuds, probably the best pair of open earbuds I’ve used to date. That being said, there’s one thing that I don’t love about Bose products, and that’s the premium pricing. Nearly $300 for a Bluetooth speaker is a lot, and so is $300 for a pair of wireless

Tropical Storms Routinely Shredded Baby Pterosaurs, Fossil Evidence Suggests

The Solnhofen Limestone, a fossil hotspot in southern Germany, hosts a particularly rich array of baby pterosaur bones.

In a Current Biology paper published September 5, paleontologists at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom describe the tragic tale of Lucky and Lucky II, two baby
