So PLoS has some great articles this month that are worth everybody reading.

The first, of particular interest to a lay audience, is this essay suggesting reasons why men succeed and science why women don't and how much elimination of bias will really help change this (and why that would be a good thing).

Then there is an interesting evolution paper disparaging the "grandmother effect." However, it is limited by being a study in guppies. Maybe PLoS is getting a little ahead of itself in suggesting a paper on fish provides answers as to why humans have menopause.

Finally a paper discussing the rather bizarre fact that our colon is chock full of plant viruses. Luckily they don't do anything to us, but we may be a vector for spreading plant viruses about the world. Humans are kind of gross when you think about it.
