We’re usually afraid to describe new species based on only a single one, because there’s a chance that there might be some sort of variation, once we had those two specimens, we were fairly sure they were a new species. – Omar Entiauspe-Neto	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Oddball dinosaurs tend to offer insight into the extremes of dinosaur evolution. The more specimens the better to understand how they got to be so odd, i think this study is a good one to keep the ball rolling but more work is always needed to get a better picture of the life of something so strange and far removed in time. – Jason Poole	Found on CNN 2 years ago
We hope to collect a few more specimens of the other eight new species we recently found, additionally, we are closely working with our Maldivian partners to keep using Maldivian names in our species. – Luiz Rocha	Found on CNN 2 years ago

Museomics is the use of museum collections for genome sequencing and other analytical techniques that could not even be imagined when the majority of museum specimens were collected, what makes this so groundbreaking is that we can address questions that can not be answered any other way. This study is a great example of this since we can not go out and collect the Xerces blue butterfly and the only way to address genetic questions about this species is by turning to museum collections. – Corrie Moreau	Found on CNN 2 years ago

We want to know how effective the vaccines are, how long the immune system is able to help protect someone against COVID-19 along with looking at how the different variants, play a role with the vaccines as well. – Shawn Beitel	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Texas [Department of State Health Services] currently sends 10 positive specimens to CDC every two weeks for sequencing and culturing of virus, cDC has proposed increasing the number of specimens sent from state and local public health labs; however, at this time we have not received an official request to send more than we are currently sending. – Douglas Loveday	Found on FOX News 3 years ago
This new data allowed us to observe the biological diversity of white sharks living in the Mediterranean, by analyzing and comparing different specimens, we were able to estimate that the white shark population in the Mediterranean started to evolve differently from other cognate populations around 3.2 million years ago. This essentially proves that those theories about sharks colonizing the Mediterranean around 450,000 years ago are wrong. – Agostino Leone	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
We appreciate the authors efforts to justify their results as being genuine nervous tissue, but remain sceptical while the data comes from only two fossils, new data is always welcome, but as we noted previously, we would be more convinced if the anatomical features appeared in a consistent form across several specimens independently. – Jianni Liu	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
I couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted the rest of the cranium, it was a eureka moment and a dream come true. This is one of the most significant specimens we've found so far from the site. – Yohannes Haile-Selassie	Found on CNN 4 years ago
There were never any missing organs, the lab that does our autopsies has the organs. Coroner's offices don't always have a morgue or a forensic pathologist. We contract those services out. We utilize a team in Allentown. That's who retains the specimens. They don't always tell us what they retain. We made that clear to the family from the beginning. – Pam Gay	Found on CNN 4 years ago
These are the oldest frogs from near the equator, the oldest frogs overall are roughly 250 million years old from Madagascar and Poland, but those specimens are from higher latitudes [than the Chinle frog] and not equatorial. – Michelle Stocker	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
The CDC has been actively investigating AFM, testing specimens and monitoring disease since 2014, when we first saw an increase in cases, most AFM cases occur in the late summer and fall. – Nancy Messonnier	Found on CNN 5 years ago

We have not been able to find a cause for the majority of Most AFM cases, right now, we know that poliovirus is not the cause of Most AFM cases. CDC has tested every stool specimen from every AFM patient. None of the specimens have tested positive for poliovirus. – Nancy Messonnier	Found on CNN 5 years ago
In all my years as a kid collecting fossilized shark teeth around Victorian sites (I had over 500 specimens), I only ever found one half of a large megalodon tooth. – Professor Long	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
This case study is really important, since it testifies that a medical approach to maternal morbidity actually existed during the Lombard period, despite the rejection of the scientific progress which denoted all the Early Middle Age, also, it shows two rare findings, since post-mortem fetal extrusion is a quite rare phenomenon( especially in archaeological specimens), while only a few examples of trepanation are known for the European Early Middle Age. – Alba Pasini	Found on CNN 6 years ago
