Congratulations to the
Houston Museum of Natural Science on the opening of their new
Hall of Paleontology!
According to their web site, they have 60 new mounts, including 30 dinosaurs; a "prehistoric safari;" and a "prehistoric aquarium," as well as an entire nest full of
Quetzalcoatlus!
Cyn and I are planning to check it out this summer.
Congratulations also to
SpaceX, on the successful completion of the
Dragon mission to the International Space Station! Hopefully, we'll see a manned launch soon!
Congrats also to my (former) editor,
Daniel Nayeri, who is now the
Digital Editorial Director of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. (He edited
CHRONAL ENGINE and will be missed. But check out his latest novel in the Another... series, ANOTHER JEKYLL, ANOTHER HYDE, which just released).
Finally, in honor of the naming of the new elements
Livermorium and Flerovium, go watch this great animation of Tom Lehrer's "
The Elements."
Which reminds me of my favorite patent on a chemical element, U.S. Patent No. 3,161,462, to Seaborg, for Element 96:
