#LSB has started! So far an amazing lecture from Prof. Klaus from @CUBoulder, an institution in the field, discussing 25years of research on the physics of microbial behaviour in microgravity.
Colorado, here I am! At @CUBoulder for the week as a mentor for #LaunchingSpaceBiologyWorkshop. Thank you @martacortesao for the invitation. Cannot wait to meet @SpaceLuisZea and @Nils_Averesch IRL. I hope jetlag leaves me alone by tonight so I can be my usual chatty self 😅

Being white with high albedo, the sands were cool on their surface. Despite a searing sun, they were much cooler than dark volcanic rocks I've sometimes picked up in Iceland on a freezing day. I found that interesting.

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist. Many more here: newscientist.com/author/tom-gau…
Today is Scott remembrance day for all who celebrate! A fine day in 1994 on Observation Hill, McMurdo. The first cross put up in 1913. It faces to Ross Ice Shelf where Scott and his team died. “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield” says the cross. Glory to the Heroes!
On this day - 1912. Captain Scott dies in his tent on the Ross Ice Shelf, he is presumed to be the last man alive. The picture shows a cairn built over the tent when it was discovered in November 1912. Tryggve Gran skied back to the hut in Scott's skis leaving his own as a marker
That's the first time I've seen a book I've written turned into a cookie. I'm impressed. I think it's more tasty than actually eating the book.
The Space Hipsters annual field trip begins in a few days — and cookies featuring the covers of books nominated for our annual book prize are a tradition. Our baker has opinions, and says these are the two best covers of 2022.
