The news in awesome science



John McPhee would be so proud.

Every so often we are lucky enough to be reminded that nothing we can do, nothing at all can ever keep nature in check.

The grounding of air transport all over Europe due to volcanic eruption this past week...

Scientists finding life in "Pitch Lake...filled with hot asphalt and bubbling with noxious hydrocarbon gases and carbon dioxide"...

Australia dealing with a locust plague the size of Spain...

I swear, man, there are things in science that continue to amaze me every minute of every hour of every day.
