What else is new:
- Scientists talk about the process
- Andrew "Fermat's Last" Wiles on the joy of making no progress. Or if not joy, at least having the bottle to struggle on. Read the comments below? And maybe ditto on MeFi?
- Freeman Dyson getting snitty about PhD programs because they keep scientists off the streets for 3-4 years. Dyson gets bored if he hasn't solved a problem in 3-4 months.
- Lovable Hans Bethe takes on Dyson as a student because he is billed as not entirely stupid
- Richard Feynman lays down health & safety at Oak Ridge in 1942. It's in Surely You're Joking but you can listen to this story in the car.
- Palomino, a Yalie, has done this hunting for the exceptional among school-leavers/
- Here's another process - composting! Mike McGrath waxes lyrical about the virtues of leaves.
- And another: salmon to food
- BruzzSeafood labour intensive cutting whole dead salmon to bits
- Hand filleting a salmon for smoking
- Lots more fish tales bloboprev.
- Anna Quindlen tells Kelly Corrigan about her most controversial columns. Check out the audience reaction. Rapt.
- This a rather sketchy <Bloooargh!>: making sausage with gobbets of cheese, "myosin bind" <que?> and "white protein" <que? que?>
- Erin "O’Buzzfeed" Chack ‘discovers’ Malta and goes viral: some bitter-and-twisted commentary on the fact that she derived benefit from writing nice things about a micronation.
- Narrow suburban streets are safer and well . . . better.
- WaPo says that girls can be funny. But they don't always get the chance. Getting out of their way on this makes everyone better off.
