Have you heard about "Krulwich on Science?"
I'm officially a fan of Morning Edition's Friday science report, "Krulwich on Science". It's a lighthearted look at current and past science that manages to communicate a real sense of wonder about the world around us. Today's piece, "Have you heard about B flat?" is a delightfully wonky exploration of a completely inexplicable pattern, the recurrence of a particular musical note throughout nature, that recalls Douglas Adams at his weirdest. Another favorite of mine is "Charles Darwin and the racing asparagus", in which David Quammen helps Krulwich build a playful picture of the gentleman scientist at work.

Snow
Just like last year, the first serious snow of the year blanketed Moscow at the end of Thanksgiving break. It's cold. Plowing is apparently not much of a priority in Idaho, but if things continue like last year, this'll be mostly done with by Christmas time.

Purple mountains' majesty
I've just spent a week in Glacier National Park, and I have the photos to prove it. My roommate Noah put the whole thing together, planning a week of day-length and longer trips for the two of us and three of his friends from Boston, who flew out just for the trip. The images speak for themselves, I think - we saw some spectacular sights. I missed out on two awesome day hikes due to crappy footwear (never spend less than $100 on shoes you plan to use for carrying a 30-pound pack more than 10 miles), and photos from those days, plus additional images of the places I was able to get to, will be on Noah's Webshots page pretty soon, I think.

Nature up close
Just posted some new photos from a mini field trip I went on yesterday morning with Olle, my advisor. My new camera's "super-macro" function works pretty well, it turns out.
