Pulse of the Planet podcast (2 min): Microbes

Microbes outweigh all the plants and animals on Earth, and they can degrade any compound - even oil.

Alien Object Shuts Down Chinese Airport

A Chinese airport was dramatically closed after an aliencraft was detected by baffled air traffic controllers. They spotted the UFO on radar screens forcing bosses to ground flights and divert planes away from Xiaoshan airport in the eastern city of Hangzhou. The mysterious object glowed on monitoring instruments late on Wednesday night and was snapped by a stunned local. Many reported seeing a comet-like fireball in the sky. The craft eventually vanished from radar screens but airport chiefs launched an immediate probe into the sighting.

Michel, in connection with this great discovery, I read recently that many birds that we have long assumed to be sexually monochromatic (the same coloration for males and females) are actually not, because birds perceive fare more variation in hue and tone and shade than we do.

@ Grace: Yes, it is a very good local show.

Huh. Apparently this forum changes emotes into HTML. Interesting. I will have to remember and not do that again.

You have opened up a whole plane of distraction for me with that site, DG. Now it comes down to listening to podcasts or finishing a really boring presentation for a class I don't want to fail. . . >_/body>

I haven't had a chance to listen to this yet. Podcasts are posted online for only about 2 weeks, so listen soon if you're interested. - DG

Life in an Imperfect Universe
The Best of Think - Is the fabled unified theory of nature just a fable? We talked last spring with Dartmouth professor of physics and astronomy, Marcelo Gleiser. His new book is "A Tear at the Edge of Creation: A Radical New Vision for Life in an Imperfect Universe" (Free Press, 2010).

You both repeat after me: "Cancun is located in the Yucatan peninsula."

On a second thought, forget that last word, peninsula. Too hazardous.

Hehe! Funny typo! But not as funny as when I type "I cun't do that!"
