Just had Chipotle tonight (ah, Guac) and saw this. Very interesting.
Student’s have expressed interest and concern over this virus. Remember, mosquitoes kill more humans that any other animal.

Interesting stuff, math geeky, but interesting.
Great video from Smarter Every Day
I love when archaeologists look dumb. I know it’s petty, but they have been nasty to geologists many times.
‘Mystery of Gold Artifact’ That Stumped Israeli Archaeologists Solved by Facebook User in Italy
Today in EPS I discussed chemical reactivity, and I used the element Fluorine as an example of a crazy reactive substance. Here is the video I mentioned. And the presenter’s hair is a comic bonus. Your welcome for that.
This may be very interesting. If the EM Thruster does work, and it seems to, then some of what we understand about Physics may change.
In a new round of testing, NASA confirms yet again that the ‘impossible’ EMdrive thruster works
A Vampire Bat on a treadmill. You know, because.
Vampire bats are the only species of bat that can run.

Well, could he?
Thanks Ed!
We now certain kinds of radiation are dangerous, but it is a danger we can’t see. Unless, that is, we use a device called a cloud chamber. The radiation causes trails in the super cooled alcohol vapor inside the chamber and we can see the emissions of radiation from a sample. Below is a sample of Uranium (Pitchblende).
To see how this was done, the following video shows the whole process.

See you Wednesday.
I’ve mentioned before in Dynamic Earth about experiments to reactivate dormant genes in chicken embryos. The develop into rather dinosaur-looking creatures. This is pretty solid verification of the theory that birds are a development of dinosaurs.
I have posted about EnChroma before. The have a new video about their product.
And here is a review on their product from David Pogue…
