Amused by this rather substantial underestimate in the iPad version of the November edition of Scientific American. The authors, of course, meant 10 *to the power of* 82, not 1082!

And as nearly two thirds of UK adults use BBC radio on a weekly basis (source: BBC Annual Report 2022), I suspect that you won't find much support for the option of shutting all the radio stations down!

2022 was great for science. The JWST deployed successfully and has produced already some fantastic images of deep space, the Lawrence Livermore lab had promising results with their latest fusion energy experiments & the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars has now clocked up 37 flights.

Really enjoyed reading this library copy of Blake Crouch’s sci-fi novel “Recursion”. A clever set-up and a spectacular ending all made for a most enjoyable read. A novel that would make for a great Christopher Nolan film!

Attending my elder son’s football game today, it was refreshing to hear only the voices of the players. Spectators and coaches (mostly!) limited themselves to applauding good play by both sides.

The monthly reports from @evernote would be more useful if they took account of how many days were in a particular month. I surely can't be blamed for September being a day shorter than August, can I?
