Wow. This guy had to have his spine broken in four places to be able to straighten up. Mars researcher Tanya Harrison suffers from this disease (and I’m always impressed by her accomplishments despite it). I hope they can come up with a cure eventually, if not sooner.

The Solar Minimum
It is officially “deep.”
Coffee
I choke the stuff down every morning on faith, but this is the first time I’ve heard about it as a product for skin care.
Small Nuclear Reactors
This looks promising. The field has needed innovation for a long time, and the NRC has been holding it back.
Quantum Computing
Researchers are getting tired of all the hype.
Teaching Kids About Nutrition
The CDC says that schools aren’t doing enough of it.
That seems like good news to me, given how terrible the nutrition advice would be.
Climate Alarmism
How it hurts us all.
Frightening kids with this unscientific nonsense is one more form of child abuse in government schools. And Greta T is the poster child for it.

The UN’s “woke” climate-change propaganda is an insult to science.

Sorry, just noticed that the last link is behind a paywall.
Going To Trial
Others have noted in comments, but yes, SCOTUS has denied our petition for cert.

Meat, Saturated Fat, and Long Life
It’s just amazing how much crap nutrition advice we’ve been given for decades, and many continue to spew the nonsense.
Girls In STEM
My buddy Chantelle Baier just put together an event in Cincinnati in which they launched fifty Estes rockets at a time. Chantelle is the one in black standing by the wall in the left center of the picture.
