We found a dinosaur feather preserved in amber, reinforcing the dinosaur-->bird hypothesis.

I've been reading about microbes in our digestive tract a lot lately.

Reading about the Armstrong Limit (where there's not enough pressure to keep unpressurized bodily fluids such as saliva from boiling off) and came across an firsthand account of what happens past the limit. So I did a little digging to figure out who it was and turns out it was Jim LeBlanc, an astronaut during testing.



Interesting video of the event. No, he doesn't explode.
