Scientists say a 305 million-year-old fossil is the closest relative to "true spiders" ever discovered - but is not itself a spider. Easily pre-dating the dinosaurs, the 1.5cm creature lived alongside the oldest known ancestors of modern spiders but its lineage is now extinct.

New Headline Requirements for Submissions to /r/science

We read /r/science a lot, probably more than your average reddit user (ok....certainly more....)

One of the most frustrating things we see in /r/science are headlines which makes fantastic claims, but when you read the details of the study you find that it was in mice, a cell culture, a computer model, or a small group of college students. We already remove headlines that are overly biased or sensationalized (you'll notice that you don't see headlines which claim "cures" in /r/science.) This leaves headlines that make a truthful statement, but leave out a critical bit of information, for example, the effect was only seen in a cell culture.

In order to further reduce the misleading nature of headlines, we will now require headlines to identify the population or model that the study was conducted in (if applicable.) We will be be enforcing this starting today.

If you submit to /r/science, please make note of this rule as headlines can not be edited after submission, so if your submission is removed for this reason you will need to resubmit. (We have also moved a simplified list of our submission and comment rules to the sidebar for greater visibility.)

As a reader, if you see a submission which does not give this information, please report it or message the mods, we depend on all of you to maintain the quality of /r/science.

Thanks for reading and contributing to make /r/science great!

Scientists have found evidence that a vegetarian diet has led to a mutation that - if they stray from a balanced omega-6 to omega-3 diet - may make people more susceptible to inflammation, and by association, increased risk of heart disease and colon cancer.

Vegetarian diet permanently shaped human genome and may increase risk of heart disease and cancer. Cornell team compare vegetarian population from India to meat-eaters from Kansas.

Scientists have devised a triple-stage "cluster bomb" system for delivering the chemotherapy drug cisplatin, via tiny, smart polymeric clustered nanoparticle (iCluster) designed to break up when they reach a tumor.

Scientists show air pollution slows valley breezes and diminishes surface moisture in the air surrounding Mount Hua, a peak in China's Shaanxi Province. The pollution's wind- and moisture-negating interaction with sunlight energy is responsible for a 40% reduction of precipitation.
