As you no doubt have noticed, Birds in the News has not made its usual appearance today at noon. The reason is that I was unable to find any wifi hotspots from Friday afternoon onwards, until today when I returned to the library. As a result, I didn't have a chance to write this week's issue of Birds in the News. I was only able to access the internet -- twice -- this past weekend for approximately five minutes each time, but that is all. Birds in the News requires four hours to finish each issue. So please accept my apologies.

In short, the…

Embargoes: you either love them or hate them, and I hate them. No, let me rephrase: I despise embargoes. In fact, science story embargoes have been my daily rant for literally years. No, really.…
I was wondering what had happened to you! I'm sure the birds can wait another day or two before being exposed to the world.

I'm sure the birdies are enjoying the break, and appreciate not being "zapped" ("nuked"?) today... ;-)
