Preposterous Universe

 
Water on Mars -- into wine!

By Tom Toles.


I'm still at NYU, giving a seminar this afternoon on inflation and the arrow of time. Tomorrow it's back to Chicago, where I'll be hosting Neal Lane, former White House Science Advisor. He'll be giving our Physics Colloquium, with the the provocative title: "One perspective on American science - some trouble ahead!"

Then it's off to Florida for the APS Meeting. I'm the organizer for a session on "Cosmological Constraints on Theories of Gravitation and Fundamental Physics," featuring talks by Arthur Kosowsky, Hiranya Peiris, and fellow cosmologist/blogger Mark Trodden. Should be fun.

Not that any of this traveling is an excuse for flimsy blogging, but there you have it.
