Lately I've been reading a bit more about this particular subject. I first became aware of it a couple of years ago. I think it's pretty interesting, and hopefully some of you will too.

NPR's Science Friday did a segment on this over the summer.  That was the first I've heard of it.   You can stream the segment here:  http://www.sciencefriday.com/program/archives/200907314

I'd heard something of this a few years ago but haven't seen pictures before.
