The Mauritius Oil Spill: What's at Stake for a Vital Trio of of Ecosystems
*Sivajyodee Sannassy Pilly, John Turner, Ronan Roche* *Enviornment, Indo-Pacific* Mauritius is a biodiversity hotspot and much of the island’s unique wildlife depends on intricate connections between the reefs, lagoons, seagrass meadows and mangroves, so pollution in one habitat can have a devastating ripple effect. Sometimes bad things happen in the worst possible places – like the MV Wakashio running aground on shallow reefs off the south-east coast of Mauritius on July 25. The wreck of the bulk carrier ship began leaking oil in front of a nature reserve island (Ile aux Aigrett... more »
Inhospitable Hosts: Why its Too Early to Ring the Alarm Bells on Coronavirus Reinfection
*Zania Stamataki* *Health, World* Nearly nine months after the first infection with the novel coronavirus, we have very poor evidence for reinfection. However, virologists understand that reinfection with coronaviruses is common, and immunologists are working hard to determine how long the hallmarks of protective immunity will last in recovered patients. Scientists in Hong Kong have reported the first confirmed case of reinfection with the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, reportedly backed up by genetic sequences of the two episodes of the 33-year-old man’s infections in March ... more »

Lawsuit Filed Against Merck For Lying To Doctors & Moms About The HPV Gardasil Vaccine
You have been lied to a lot for these past one hundred years with faux science and outright data suppression. Here the battle to end this commercial tyranny continues. We have all been brainwashed young to believe in vaccines. Thus we have a market funded by government fiat. Nice. What might go wrong? What has gone wrong over and over again is the science. With the ambiguous exception of small pox vaccine using cow pox which is an almost natural protocol, the rest have mostly been cooked. Recall the advance of successful indoor plumbing came about during the first half of ... more »
Long-awaited Celera 500L 'bullet' plane is finally revealed
*Long-awaited Celera 500L 'bullet' plane is finally revealed* *Maureen O'Hare, CNN • Updated 28th August 2020* *FacebookTwitterEmail* This bird is phenomenal and obsoletes the entire private jet fleet, which has been stuck using decades old designs. This bird ends all that and likely starts a gold rush on new far better jets. Obviously a private jet matching the capabilities of commercial fying is a game changer. Design and approval technology is now completely fast tracked as demonstrated by our rapidly advancing rocket tech. This is an initial six man carrier that ca... more »
Science Is Not About Consensus
That is almost the definition of science. Science is all about proposing a model separate from the present consensus. How do we not understand this? We have a consensus, secured by our understanding of Newtonian Physics that describes the earth and the sun as a compressed body of material whose initial state is described by surface conditions. Easy to buy into and i certainly diod for most of my life. Yet the moment i successfully described particle creation, and understood gravity as well, this all completely changed out. The new model does not have to be discussed here bu... more »

Monstrous moonshine and string theory: a compressed popular book
Because an excited reader of popular books has claimed that he has learned more from this Quora answer of mine than from a whole popular book on monstrous moonshine (which is promoted at the bottom of this text), I decided to repost it here and call it "a compressed popular book". An advantage of such a free, compressed book is that you may save your money for a book and buy the bottle instead, the same bottle that Andrew Ogg promised to anyone who proves the monstrous moonshine. How did string theory help Borcherds solve the monstrous moonshine conjecture? First, let me state a sim... more »

Why Emily Dickinson Would Recognize 2020
*Matthew Redmond* *Culture, * [image: Wikimedia Commons] As the world continues to endure the ravages of COVID-19, another ghost of Dickinson steps into view. This one, about 40 years old, seems by turns vulnerable and formidable, reclusive and forward. She carries the dead weight of crises beyond her control, but remains unbowed by it. Since her death in 1886, Emily Dickinson has haunted us in many forms. She has been the precocious “little dead girl” admired by distinguished men; the white-clad, solitary spinster languishing alone in her bedroom; and, in more recent interpreta... more »
How to Enjoy Astronomy From Home During the Lockdown

The Migrant Influx to the UK Won't Stop: Why Policy Makers Need a New Narrative
*Heaven Crawley* *Immigration, UK* Policy makers need to change the narrative around asylum seekers. While people need to be safe, this is not, in and of itself, sufficient. People also need hope and the possibility of a life beyond misery and destitution. Despite the exceptional circumstances of 2020, it is just like any other year in one way. Like clockwork, just as summer arrives, we are bombarded with stories of the “migrant invasion”. This year the pictures are of people crossing the channel in flimsy boats.
