I finally managed to make a decent vertical version of my plane refraction #sundial, with a tailor-made stand for the plexiglas cylinder. Hour is read on the north side, by the position of the shadow.
Had to sand the cylinder all around to avoid internal reflections (caustics).

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

Why do eagle and manta rays have long, whip-like tails? 🦈 Our study shows that they act like kite tails, adding drag to keep rays stable as they glide!

FCNL’s @hbrandon-smith.bsky.social joined @npr.org to break down Trump’s murderous, lawless strikes at sea:
“What the administration is claiming is that it has the right to kill people who are not firing upon the U.S. … and that it can do this indefinitely without any say-so from Congress.”
“What the administration is claiming is that it has the right to kill people who are not firing upon the U.S. … and that it can do this indefinitely without any say-so from Congress.”
Some lawmakers are worried that Trump is dragging the U.S. into war with Venezuela
President Trump is escalating boat strikes near Venezuela without ruling out hitting targets in the country. Lawmakers are warning the U.S. may be drifting toward war without a clear justification.

In tumor-bearing mice receiving immunotherapy, the mRNA COVID vaccine switches on a powerful molecular siren. It’s like a 911 call that alerts the immune system to start fighting cancer.

Cancer treatments may get a boost from mRNA COVID vaccines
Cancer patients who got an mRNA COVID vaccine within a few months of their immunotherapy lived longer than those who did not, health records show.

My latest for @nytimes.com! For 40 years, paleontologists have grappled over whether a small tyrannosaur — named Nanotyrannus — was its own animal, or simply a teenage T.rex. The debate has been ... contentious. Which is why it's so fun to finally be able to say this:
Folks? Nanotyrannus is real.

I have tentatively decided that when I teach Administrative Law next semester, I am going to cover Humphrey's Executor and the rest of the casebook chapter about removal powers, until SCOTUS officially overturns Humphrey's Executor (instead of just saying they are "very likely" to do that soon).

Just pondering how many of our current difficulties would disappear in a decade or more if we just had a decent minimum wage.
Also perhaps an unpopular take: providing medical insurance isn’t the same as providing healthcare.

Oh, this is a treasure! Sometimes I feel like I have the entire library of Alexandria in my hand.
If you click on the little four-square icon, you can breeze through the pages and, like me, stop for the plates the ones that have the drawings. My Latin isn’t good enough for the rest of it!
