The Year In Creepy Discoveries

[Jazzy]

Science can be many things. Ambitious. Awe-inspiring. Confusing. Elegant. Wrong. And Creepy. Fortunately for you, the WIRED Science team doesn't fear the creepy and instead (often) finds it fascinating. We've been enjoying some really weird, gross and shiver-causing science this year, and we've collected our favorites here for you.



What did you think about these creepy discoveries?
