I'm off teaching, and thus I'll make a little pause in blogging - I'll be back next Monday.
Meanwhile, for you, a few links:
X-Ray of the oceans show the impact humans have. Not pretty.
Also not pretty: This story about two immigrant doctors nearly getting tossed out of the US.
Much, much nicer: A physicist who also is an origamist, and does incredible things with paper.
And finally, a big list of science podcasts (just in case you are looking for some).
