Today I found out that the actual copy of Daredevil comic that inspired Julian Cope's band to name themselves "The Teardrop Explodes" was previously owned by Eamon Rohan who played THAT parishioner in Father Ted. Small world.

Review 📚🪐
In which the Australian writer and publisher turns from the enjoyable space opera of his Lenticular books to harder science fiction, portraying the mad scramble to save a last outpost of life from a collapsing universe. Once again, Stevenson provides a living culture, enough details of the factions and entities to make the world believable without bogging down in details. Indeed, there’s not much room for minutiae, as the story unfolds apace, the conflict driven by a political agenda of greed, ego and self-interest. The titular Markusz, a mathematician who may just be able to save what’s left if given the chance, has the clever foil of a ‘ghost’ of his dead wife as well as a strong supporting cast to contextualise the science clearly enough to allow the reader to follow along. And then there’s the question of the strange haven deep within the planet itself, and the mysterious connection to the force devouring the universe. It’s a blast.

Our Topic in 2025 - Future Space Technologies Space and space industries are a growing industrial segment in Australia. The nation possesses increasing numbers of companies with "space heritage" (launched something!) and with globally competitive technology. Space is an industry that instantly captures the imagination, but is also provides practical, inexpensive, routine benefits that we all use (potentially unknowingly) every single day. Our topic has been chosen especially to align with local strengths in space technologies to attract delegates from further afield. This forum is co-organised with the CSIRO and sponsored by iAccelerate Session 1: Succeeding in Space We'll hear from people and organisations who have succeeded in translating a great idea into space - be it a physical item or a service. What have been their challenges, celebrations and lessons learned? How can people get support in new space ventures? Session 2: Microelectronics for Space This session will focus on the local expertise of UoW and ANSTO on the effects of radiation in space - on materials, people and microelectronics. Several local teams are characterising the Single Event Effects of cosmic radiation and particles on microelectronics, for example. About the Physics in Industry Day: The annual Physics in Industry Days has been an initiative to bring together researchers, industry, service providers, decision makers, educators and the general public to connect and learn around a chosen topic - either an industry sector or an area of science with significant industrial or national impact in the future. It is intended to be an informal gathering with interesting and informative speakers pitched at a level to engage with an informed general audience.

Six Ships. I'm very much in the Chris Foss school of thought when it comes to colour, rather than SW or ST.

Digital illustration on a white background. Six brightly coloured spaceships. Adorned with stripes and patterns. More like race cars than spaceships.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

"Someone goes back in the source history and compiles the original game as it shipped - nope, that original version is also broken. How can this possibly be? At this point people are freaking out - this isn't a normal bug - it appears to have traveled backwards in time and infected the original!"

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA."

This is what's happening in epidemiology.
