more random tidbits worth a peek, including a new Henri le Chat video...
- New coronavirus from bats - related to SARS seen in several cases from Middle East. Looks nasty.
- Producing Ethylene via Photosynthesis - surpringly efficient, and easily capturably hydrocarbon ready from some petrochemistry. Still requires huge amounts of land (100,000 km2++ to make much difference, but so does anything that uses any solar to provide primary power
- Joe Polchinski (KITP, UCSB) on Firewalls and Black Holes - interesting developments on the black hole information paradox. Been keeping half an eye on it.
- Social Networking for higher research productivity - er, maybe.
- ASU Center for Science and the Imagination - featuring Neal Stephenson: I am Sooooo jealous
- Comet ISON - the Great Come of 2013 - hope you're not superstitious. Brightness extrapolations for comets are interesting and worth pondering some more.
False positives: fraud and misconduct are threatening scientific research - well, psychology. Discovering the error of the first kind...- Quantum Uncertainty - not just measurement? - more in the teasing apart of the mystery of classical quantum mechanics.
- Doing Good Science - Janet Stemwedel's blog at Sci Am
- AstroWright - Jason Wright's blog's heating up
- Mahalo.ne.Trash John John's blog on astro stuff
- Uncertain Principles - In case you hadn't noticed Chad is back from hiatus

Ah oui, le Chat noir c'est returned:
