Our copy is in the mail for my 11yo (and then for me!)!!!
(According to Libby the Los Angeles library does have 10 copies of the book, with 7 people waiting per copy. 😅)
Facts.
But getting it from the library DOES support the author, the library buys more copies if there's a long waitlist!
Also I need to get SOME work done. I guess.
Luckily they are short, but now I have to waaaaaaaait for the next one because there are 70 (!) people ahead of me in the hold queue at the Los Angeles library.

Great news! Physics Girl is making videos again!
Bad news: Attacks on science are so bad I need to talk at a rally on Saturday.

I love it.
Relativity theorists should be Clocksford.
Yessss.
Engineers could be Blocksford.
There have been MULTIPLE early leaks of scientific discoveries via DECORATED CAKE. Scientists are good at many things, but shutting up is definitely not one of them.
Oxoplanets!
Congratulations to Dr Tobias Meier (@tgmeier.bsky.social) on the publication of his paper "Mantle Convection and Nightside Volcanism on Lava World K2-141 b" featuring 12 former and current Oxoplanet members! You can read the paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2603.02408
Do you already have a Masters? Do you want to do a PhD in exoplanet radial velocity surveys with me at Macquarie University in Sydney?
Then have I got an ad for you!
Welcome to march. Your clever todo manager/system/thing is either smoking or actively on fire. There are still two months in the semester.
I'm visiting the IOP in Bristol in mid-July!
Who doesn't????
Ooh I like it.
HEY RAS INVITE ME TO SPEAK! I'LL BE IN BRISTOL IN JULY.
Is it an acronym? Did I start writing something in all caps and get distracted? Is it an autocorrect or a typo?
THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW.
I mean, clearly. 😂
But Jason, it's NOT spam, they CLEARLY say so. 😂
It's a good guess but I don't think so! 😩
