New species of frog discovered
Researchers working in Central America have discovered a new species of frog on their travels through the jungles of Central America.A few of the frogs were found by scientists working in the Cordillera Central mountain range, in the west of Panama, between May-August 2010.
The new species is a member of the Diasporus group of frogs. Its full scientific name is Diasporus citrinobapheus – the citrinobapheus part is made of the Greek words for yellow and dyer, because the researchers found that their fingers were dyed yellow after handling the tiny creatures.
The frog is only 2cm long and, although it makes a one-note call similar to its close relatives, its call is more like a whistle than the sounds made by other Diasporus frogs.
The scientists wrote about their discovery in the new edition of ZooKeys.

Mind reading robot teacher built
A new mind reading robot teacher has been created that
stops you from snoozing during lessons.
Tech whizzes in America say it uses special sensors to monitor a student's brain signals while they learn.
When the brain signals dip down, indicating that the student's not concentrating as much, the system sends a message to the robot.
The robot then raises its voice or moves its arms around on screen to get the student's attention back, just like a real teacher might do!
