If you clicked on this link, you probably know what time it is: 10:43AM CST. At least that’s what time it is when we began loading this story into the site. But we digress.

No, no, it’s time for our favorite time of the week: This week in obvious science *reverberation*

This week, expensive research has learn’t us a thing or two about how putting lions where they don’t belong is a bad idea, shortages of things necessary for survival could limit population growth, going to prison can complicate your relationship, good marketing requires knowing who you’re marketing to, and carbon absorption decreases when things that absorb carbon disappear.

But before we get to the show, we’d like to offer a disclaimer:

If we are wrong (which we probably are) about your research being obvious, feel free to hit us with a rebuttal, explaining where we were wrong (probably everywhere) and how awesome your study actually is. We’ll gladly publish it and acknowledge our mistake. Email the editor-in-chief, Christopher Pilny, at [email protected].

Now, back to the show…

THIS WEEK IN OBVIOUS SCIENCE

1. The dangers of reintroducing lions and other carnivores for ecotourism via Wiley

Let us remember our last attempt at reintroducing carnivores for ecotourism:

2. Will future population growth be limited by freshwater availability? via Wiley

Let’s do some math here: People need water to live, and population growth means an increase in the number of people. So more people will need more water. So, we dunno…we’d say the answer is probably yes.

Or do we really need water?

3. How does prison time affect relationships? via Wiley

4. Lack of knowledge about new foreign markets hampers international success via Aarhus University

….

5. Amazon’s carbon uptake declines as trees die faster via University of Leeds

…..
