Oh and I failed to mention that yesterday's science lecture was very interesting. About space and searching for planets. By a cute Canadian born researcher graduated from Western Ontario and doctorate from the US who was quite witty (with a very shiny pate - bald at such a young age, poor thing) and a very clever young lady with a very very impressive string of credentials. Top MIT engineering graduate, Rhodes scholar to Oxford where she did her masters and PhD from UC Davis where her doctoral thesis won the prize for being most innovative. Or something like that. He is a astronomy expert and she does adaptive optics.
The half man thought it was better than last week's lecture. In a way, I think he is right but that may be because space always intrigued. Super bugs which are always trying to kill you are a little less attractive than mystical space where the search for another Earth which may have life similar to ours always pulls at the imagination.
And by the by, LLL podcasts are on iTunes although not the Science on Saturday lectures :(.
