In this week’s Science Quickly news roundup, we look at promising
results from a new study about preeclampsia. We also cover the
latest news about the Trump administration’s push against clean
energy. Plus, we remember pioneering geneticist J. Craig Venter,
who died last week, and Scientific American’s chief newsletter
editor Andrea Gawrylewski shares an interesting defense technology
story from the magazine’s May issue. We then dig into a fascinating
new study about scorpion stingers and claws. Finally, we ask a
strange question: Where was your backyard 320 million years ago?
