The Eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) is a small, nocturnal marsupial, similar in size to a cat. Under UV light, they exhibit biofluorescence, a novel discovery in the last decade. This is believed to be the first images of the species fluorescing in-situ.

Why "naive Bayes" is not Bayesian
Explains why the so-called “naive Bayes” classifier is not Bayesian. The setup is okay, but estimating probabilities by doing relative frequencies instead of using Dirichlet conjugate priors or integration strays from The Path.

All about ENSO, and lunar tides (Paul Pukite)
Historically, ENSO has been explained in terms of winds. But recently — and Dr Paul Pukite has insisted upon this for a long time — the oscillation of ENSO has been explained as a large-scale slosh due to lunar tidal forcing.
