Something in the way you move: Body language ‘signature’ can reveal personality traits, study says Personality traits are all concealed within our body language, a study has found. Apparently we all have an individual ‘movement signature’ – a fact that opens up the potential for new methods of diagnosing mental health conditions.

War on chocolate: Fungus that attacks cocoa plants reproduces by cloning, study says Chocolate lovers, brace yourselves.

However, researchers at Purdue University have determined that the fungus actually generates billions of cocoa pod-destroying spores through cloning – despite having two mating types and seemingly functional mating genes.   World’s most popular banana faces eradication by deadly fungus "This fungus is phenomenally unusual – it has mating types but do
