"That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen." A captain and his crew encounter glowing dolphins while sailing north of Sydney, Australia. The bioluminescent effect is a result of plankton emitting light when movement of the dolphins disturbs them. abcn.ws/2DsuPdx

STAT Plus: Gilead sparked outrage when it introduced its first hepatitis C treatment for $84,000 in 2013. Now in a surprise move, it will begin selling generic versions of its hep C drugs for less than one-third that price. buff.ly/2IeE3J9

A great paper title: "A square bacterium" Nature 283:69 (1980). By A.E. Walsby, after whom Haloquadratum walsbyi is named. It grows as very thin square cells in 5M salt. First sentence: "I have come across a bacterium which has the form of a thin square sheet."
