APOD: 2011 April 8 - Echoes from the Depths of a Red Giant Star
http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/ha4rtQxP7Jo/apod_2011_april_8_echoes_from_the_depths_of_a_red_giant_star
Explanation: A journey to the center of a red giant star is very firmly in the realm of science fiction. But the science of asteroseismology can explore the conditions there. The technique is to time the small variations in a star's brightness measured by the planet hunting Kepler spacecraft. Regular variations indicate stellar oscillations, analogous to sound waves, that compress and decompress the gas causing brightness changes. As recently discovered in red giant stars, some of the oscillations detected have periods that would cause them to penetrate to the stellar core. In that extreme environment they actually become more intense and can return to the surface. These echoes from the red giant's core are illustrated in this frame from a computer generated animation. Remarkably, the periods measured for the oscillations can even indicate how and where the red giant star's energy [...]

Crave Caffeine? It May Be in Your Genes
http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/qSTzJGuJR0I/crave_caffeine_it_may_be_in_your_genes
DNA may play a large role in determining how much caffeine people ingest in beverages such as coffee, tea, and soda and food such as chocolate, new research indicates.
Scientists from the Harvard School of Public Health, the National Cancer Institute, and other institutions say they have discovered two genetic variations that influence the metabolism of caffeine and are associated with how much caffeine people consume. People with particular variations of two specific genes are more likely to consume caffeine, and to drink more of it when they do, study leader Marilyn C. Cornelis, PhD, of the Harvard School of Public Health, tells WebMD.
