Kourtney Kardashian has been harshly criticised for her latest Instagram tribute to husband Travis Barker. In the first upload since the birth of their son, Kardashian wished the Blink-182 drummer a happy birthday. "To my husband, my soulmate, my best friend, my lover, my daddy to our baby boy, my everything… I wish you the happiest birthday," she wrote. "You make all of my dreams come true and I feel so blessed to have you by my side. I love you beyond words, forever." The wholesome message was accompanied by a series of snaps of a heavily pregnant Kardashian posing with her husband. One photo saw Barker's hands covering the reality star's bare chest, while another showed his hand down her pants. The post was liked almost 3 million times and was flooded with over 15,000 comments. Some people did not hold back, blasting the images as "vulgar". One Instagrammer described the shoot as the "weirdest maternity pictures I have ever seen lol." Another reiterated: "These are types of pictures you just keep to yourself lol." Meanwhile, a third added: "Weird to sexualize maternity pictures but ok" Others simply let the couple live, and praised the love they share. "Yessssss Kourt keep p***ing these uptight people off… It’s great. Happy Birthday Travis," one fan wrote, while another added: "Awww what a beautiful and thoughtful post Kourtney. The chemistry between you and Travis is indescribable. You’ve both come so far and should be so proud." "Wow. To find a love like this is so delicate and precious. It seems like an eternity away," one user chimed in. How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Scientists have made an astonishing discovery that suggests bacteria contain memories to be passed on to future generations. Researchers at the University of Texas and the University of Delaware found that despite having no brain or nervous system, certain bacteria may be able to form memories and remember certain behaviours depending on the available cellular iron. When iron levels are low, bacteria can hunt for local iron in their environment, prompting scientists to believe its memory has evolved, according to Science Alert. "Bacteria don’t have brains, but they can gather information from their environment, and if they have encountered that environment frequently, they can store that information and quickly access it later for their benefit," Souvik Bhattacharyya, the lead author of the recent study said. "We show [...] that a prior experience of swarming is remembered when Escherichia coli encounters a new surface, improving its future swarming efficiency," Souvik explained. "An iron-based memory might offer the advantage of providing a hub connecting various stress responses such as antibiotic survival and biofilms." The 'memories' lasted for around four generations, before generally coming to an end by the seventh. "Before there was oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere, early cellular life was utilizing iron for a lot of cellular processes. Iron is not only critical in the origin of life on Earth, but also in the evolution of life,” the study author went on to explain. "It makes sense that cells would utilize it in this way."
