Sources have told @sportsillustrated.bsky.social that Virginia Tech is finalizing an agreement to hire James Franklin as the Hokies' next head coach. www.si.com/college-foot...

TIL that the name Velcro comes from the French words for “velvet hooks”.
An engineer wanted to make a quiet high-speed train. “The question then occurred to me — is there some living thing that manages sudden changes in air resistance as a part of daily life?” The answer: the kingfisher. See my story today for more tales of bioinspiration. Gift link: nyti.ms/4otNQyl
