Richard III's bones have (probably) been found — underneath a parking lot. mtDNA studies of Richard's family descendants confirm that the remains are Richard's, but so do several other types of evidence.

Meanwhile, a Freedom of Information Act request has laid bare Science's peer review process for that now-disproven #arseniclife paper.
ScienceOnline2013, the big annual conference on science and the web, begins today in Raleigh, N.C., with pre-conference workshops. If you're not there, you can take in some of the proceedings at one of more than 20 watch parties around the world, or keep an eye on the meeting's Information Central page.
