Did people domesticate animals? Or did they domesticate themselves? Online News Editor David Grimm talks with Sarah Crespi about a recent study that looked at self-domesticating mice. If they could go it alone, could cats or dogs have done the same in the distant past? Next, Sinan Aral of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge joins Sarah to discuss his work on true and false rumor cascades across all of Twitter, since its inception. He finds that false news travels further, deeper, and faster than true news, regardless of the source of the tweet, the kind of news it was, or whether bots were involved. In a bonus segment recording during a live podcasting event at the AAAS Annual Meeting in Austin, Sarah first speaks with Ben Munson of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis about markers of gender and sexual orientation in spoken language and then Adrienne Hancock of The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., talks about using what we know about gender and communication to help transgender women change their speech and communication style. Live recordings sessions at the AAAS meeting were supported by funds from the European Commission. This week’s episode was edited by Podigy. Listen to previous podcasts.

Researchers are converging on which genes are linked to morning sickness—the nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy—and the more severe form: hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). And once we know what those genes are—can we help pregnant women feel better? News intern Roni Dengler joins Sarah Crespi to talk about a new study that suggests a protein already flagged for its role in cancer-related nausea may also be behind HG. In a second segment, Tracy Bedrosian of the Neurotechnology Innovations Translator talks about how the amount of time spent being licked by mom might be linked to changes in the genetic code of hippocampal neurons in mice pups. Could these types of genomic changes be a new type of plasticity in the brain? This week’s episode was edited by Podigy. Listen to previous podcasts.

Though a law requiring clinical trial results reporting has been on the books for decades, many researchers have been slow to comply. Now, 2 years after the law was sharpened with higher penalties for noncompliance, investigative correspondent Charles Piller took a look at the results. He talks with host Sarah Crespi about the investigation and a surprising lack of compliance and enforcement. Also this week, Sarah talks with Brett Finlay, a microbiologist at the University Of British Columbia, Vancouver, about an Insight in this week’s issue that aims to connect the dots between noncommunicable diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer and the microbes that live in our guts. Could these diseases actually spread through our microbiomes? This week’s episode was edited by Podigy. Listen to previous podcasts. About the Science Podcast Download a transcript (PDF).

The panelists speak with Brian Woodward and Job Schlinkert about Assemble.io.

On today's episode of My JS Story, Charles Max Wood welcomes Jon Schlinkert. Jon was on JavaScript Jabber episode 98 where he talked about Assemble.io. Tune in to My JS Story Jon Schlinkert to learn how his journey began in programming and what's keeping him busy these days.

Panel:

Special Guests: Ben Clinkinbeard

In this episode, the JavaScript Jabber panelists talk about D3.js with Ben Clinkinbeard. D3.js is a JavaScript library that has you use declarative code to tell it what you want and then it figures out all of the browser inconsistencies and creates the notes for you. He talks about the two main concepts behind D3, scales and selections, which once you understand make D3 a lot more user friendly. He then touches on SPGs and discusses his Learn D3 in 5 Days course.

In particular, we dive pretty deep on:

• What is D3.js?
• Stands for Data Driven Documents
• JavaScript
• How much of the learning curve is attributed to learning D3?
• SPG
• 2 main concepts behind D3: scales and selections
• Is learning about SPGs a prerequisite to leaning D3?
• How serious are you talking when saying idiosyncrasies?
• SPG tag
• Understanding positioning in SPG
• Positions with CSS transforms
• Are you required to use SPG?
• Not required to use SPG with D3
• Canvas
• SPG is vector based
• SPG utility function
• Responseivefy
• Learn D3 in 5 Days course
• Is there and overlap with D3 and React?
• And much, much more!

Using within-page links presses the jumped-to content right at the very top of the viewport. This can be a problem when using a fixed header. With a bit of hackery, there are some CSS methods to insert space between the top of the viewport and the target element within a page.

Demo: Jump links and viewport positioning

Known support: varies depending on method used.

This experiment is the result of a post Chris Coyier made on Forrst. Chris’ method was to add an empty span element to the target element, shift the id attribute onto the span, and then absolutely position the span somewhere above it’s parent element.

That method works but it requires changes to the HTML. The comments on Chris’ post suggested the use of psuedo-elements or padding. This experiment expands on, and combines, some of those suggestions to show the limitations of each method and document their browser support.

Simplest method

If you need to jump to an element with simple styling then using the :before pseudo-element is a quick and simple approach.

#target:before {
   content: "";
   display: block;
   height: 50px;
   margin: -30px 0 0;
}

The drawbacks are that it requires browser support for pseudo-elements and it will fail if the target element has a background colour, a repeated background image, padding-top, or border-top as part of its rule set.

More robust method

The more robust method uses a transparent border, negative margin, and the background-clip property. If a top border is required then it can be mimicked using a pseudo-element, as described in Multiple Backgrounds and Borders with CSS 2.1.

#target {
   position: relative;
   border-top: 52px solid transparent;
   margin: -30px 0 0;
   -webkit-background-clip: padding-box;
   -moz-background-clip: padding;
   background-clip: padding-box;
}

#target:before {
   content: "";
   position: absolute;
   top: -2px;
   left: 0;
   right: 0;
   border-top: 2px solid #ccc;
}

There are still drawbacks: it requires browser support for background-clip if there is a background color, gradient, or repeating image set on the target element; it requires browser support for pseudo-elements and their positioning if a top border is desired; and it interferes with the standard use of margins.

To see these methods in action – as well as more details on the code, browser support, and drawbacks – have a look at the demo page. Please let me know if you know of better techniques.
