Remains of a medieval pilgrim with leprosy in one of Britain's first hospitals offers new clues on how the disease spread throughout Europe
The skeleton of a medieval leprosy victim found in one of Britain's earliest known hospitals has shed light on the history of the disfiguring disease. The remains of a young man were found in the St Mary Magdalen leprosarium near Winchester, Hampshire. Researchers suggests the man was a religious pilgrim who may have caught the disease while travelling around Europe. They also discovered that, at least in his death, he was given a traditional pilgrim burial and was not treated as an outcast. The man was not from the Winchester area and possibly Spanish because of the rare find of a scallop shell buried with him (inset).

Meet the modern crash test dummies: Researchers create old and obese models to 'better reflect the American population'
Crash-test dummies are aging and packing on the pounds to better reflect the American population. Engineers at Humanetics and researchers at the University of Michigan have unveiled two new models that they believe better reflect society - an overweight 70-year-old female dummy (left) and a 273-pound obese dummy (middle) that is 106 pounds heavier than the previous design.The changes were brought on after doctors reported that the crash-test dummies looked nothing like their patients, as they all have military physiques (right).
What it's like to be colour blind: Fascinating images reveal how the world appears to people with the condition
Images released from Colblindor, a blog run by Daniel Flück from Zurich, give an idea what the four types of colour blindness people experience actually look like. Approximately one in 20 people suffer from colour blindness, a condition that makes the world a duller place. But if you have not got the condition, it might be difficult to imagine how the world looks through someone else's eyes. Pictured are how colours look for three different types of the condition. 'Normal vision' is shown top left as a reference.

There are already about 1 million known species of insects on Earth and more that have yet to be discovered, and every species of insect has been placed in 31 existing orders - but now there's a new one.
Take the celebrity spotting test that can put your brain into 'superfocus'
Researchers at Duke University have identified a part of the brain that lets you 'superfocus' on your environment and ignore distractions. The researchers performed functional magnetic resonance imaging brain scans on people who where shown images of famous Hollywood men with names written on them, and the names were correct only half of the time. The researchers found that the more often they paired a face with the wrong name, for example, Leonardo DiCaprio’s face with the names Pitt, Cruise, or Hanks, participants became better at identifying the face and ignoring the names.
