  • Spider Quiz
    I am doing the hard yards of practicing this format. This time I use an Wikipedia article. It is truly amazing that spiders are hydrolic creatures like some kind of robot. They also have a central nervous system and some even display learning.

  • Rocket Quiz
    This has arisen from years of teaching with students questioning why the earth is round or how does the atmosphere thin out as we go up. There are many misconceptions too (even among veteran teachers) thinking that rockets just go up vertically yet they have all seen footage of the gravity roll. Finally the drilling of a hole in the ISS is a final bizarre story with key deep implications to humanities romance with the void of space.

  • New Scientist 6 Oct_ 4
    Octopus vision is really interesting along with review of David Attinbourgh's latest book. The discussion around the escape ideas from the Grenfell tower disaster was an interesting exercise in visualization and considered arguments. I really like these opportuntites to have a broad spectrum of responses. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • Water Lock
    This is the stuff inside diapers or as we call them in Australia paper nappies. However it is thoroughly amazing stuff and a good excuse for some nice experiments and a bit of the old chemistry. I was amazed there was so much to say about it. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • New Scientist 6 Oct_4
    Having heard the fine structure constant 1/137 is varying over some 30 years, I feel it is really something science magazines write about from time to time. It has more than a wiff of politics around it with ex- students causing problems with equally shaky work. It was a good read for testing my memory though. Then there is an article about antidepressants and it is perhaps more interesting to think about the ambiguity of the results that the journalist paraphrases.

  • Vision
    Our brain does brain stabilization, while our retina does antagonistic comparison of colour cone photo-receptors. My overview model is investigating the boundaries of personal and social cognitive decline. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • Review of Queen
    I review a Musical tribute to the rock and roll band Queen. It was a great performance by the local musical society that was in every respect professional. Some dance art and use of props and lighting was indeed profound. The premise vehicle for the plot was really off the shelf, and makes one wonder.
