Science…

Under 5 minutes.

Insert over 9000! pounds per square inch of thrust joke.

Never seen a live launch before? One happening in 15 minutes.

Commentators are in Japanese but it's a Japanese rocket after all.

It's still inconsiderate of them to speak in Japanese.

Reminds me of an episode of get smart where Max and 99 are at a missile test.

 

99 - "Why are all the instructions repeated in German?"

Max - "Because that's the language our best American scientists understand"

Physics! Nobel Prize! Blue LEDs!

Physics! Nobel Prize! Blue LEDs!

 

Brilliant story about blue LEDs.

 

Back in the day before blue LEDs were a thing, and were an active area of research, there's a big optics conference. First session is devoted to blue LEDs. First speaker gets up and talks about their research. Second speaker gets up and talks about their research. Third speaker gets up. The first slide is titled something like "Towards a Blue LED at Nichia." Then he starts pointing at it with a blue laser pointer. Cue standing ovation.

Chemistry! Nobel Prize! Super-resolved fluorescence microscopy!

Very nice. What were you using?

Canon SX30.

Among the many changes the Nobel Prize brought to Schmidt‘s life: travel hassles. Here‘s what he said it‘s like to carry a Nobel medal aboard an airplane:
“There are a couple of bizarre things that happen. One of the things you get when you win a Nobel Prize is, well, a Nobel Prize. It‘s about that big, that thick [he mimes a disk roughly the size of an Olympic medal], weighs a half a pound, and it‘s made of gold.
“When I won this, my grandma, who lives in Fargo, North Dakota, wanted to see it. I was coming around so I decided I‘d bring my Nobel Prize. You would think that carrying around a Nobel Prize would be uneventful, and it was uneventful, until I tried to leave Fargo with it, and went through the X-ray machine. I could see they were puzzled. It was in my laptop bag. It‘s made of gold, so it absorbs all the X-rays—it‘s completely black. And they had never seen anything completely black.
“They‘re like, ‘Sir, there‘s something in your bag.‘
I said, ‘Yes, I think it‘s this box.‘
They said, ‘What‘s in the box?‘
I said, ‘a large gold medal,‘ as one does.
So they opened it up and they said, ‘What‘s it made out of?‘
I said, ‘gold.‘
And they‘re like, ‘Uhhhh. Who gave this to you?‘
‘The King of Sweden.‘
‘Why did he give this to you?‘
‘Because I helped discover the expansion rate of the universe was accelerating.‘
At which point, they were beginning to lose their sense of humor. I explained to them it was a Nobel Prize, and their main question was, ‘Why were you in Fargo?‘”

Ultimate proof that the US is anti-science?

There's a few theories being investigated about variations of coeliacs / IBS. A lot of people have these issues crop up after a parasite / bug.
Another one I read about is injecting bacteria from other people's poo into your guts. Hookworm I guess is slightly less gross.
Enjoy your lunch, folks.

Its called a faecal transplant and they dont inject it they insert it via a tube

Possibly the Sweden confused them. Also the sound of a King made their trigger fingers itchy.

"Just shut your eyes while I insert the tube..."

 

 

You'd be surprised how much less gross that actually sounds compared to an injection. Is it a legit option?

They tend to do it as a last resort for patients with severe colitis caused by a nasty bug (clostridium difficle). I haven't actually had a patient in which they've done it, but the docs have talked about it.
And the parasite thing for coeliac has been investigated for ages - which has how science works. Miracle breakthroughs take years

I understand a research team in the US is developing a frozen form to take orally.

Yep for C. difficile infection.
