Tangled Bank #50 is up at The Island of Doubt.
There is no doubt that if you spend time reading this collection, three dozen or so, of science based posts that you will gain a greater understanding of and appreciate for the universe you live in.
Fun on the Tangled Bank
GrrlScientist pulled a near allnighter preparing the 49th issue of Tangled Bank for our edification and enjoyment so go take advantage of her work!
