This post brought to you by Chrome adding a Gemini button in the corner, then popping up an enormous "hey want to use Gemini?" chat bubble when I didn't immediately start using it, with no option to never show it again.

This animation was partly inspired by one outreach event when I realised the dinosaurs had never seen the Pleiades.

6. There were no pediatric #flu deaths reported last week. 🙏
There was a report from Vermont of a person who contracted H1N2v, a #flu virus that circulates in pigs. Not clear how he/she caught the virus or whether any close contacts were also ill. The person recovered. www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

5. The UK & Japan had early starts to their #flu seasons, due to subclade K. But the start to the US season seems on a par with several recent seasons. The dotted red line is this season. When the dotted red curve crosses the black line (which I added), it's considered that flu season has started.
