    I was delighted to hear fellow York University person @AstroHyde answering a question on last week's Quirks and Quarks! A listener wondered: are comets eternal?

    It's the summer question show, and there's a good one about cat and dog tongues, and one about birds regurgitating a "milk" that sounds like it would taste pretty gross.

    Post about a climate crisis display I did in the library where I work, inspired by Andreas Malm's How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2021).

    New paper about data centres in Canada: where they are, energy use, etc. Most are US-owned, most expansion happening in Alberta and powered by fossil fuels; discussion of pension fund ownership and stranded assets, and more.
