Qué pena de día. Ha sido bonito ver por aquí mensajes y mensajes sobre como Robe ha acompañado a la gente en tantísimos momentos, buenos y malos. A mi también. PD: algunos seguimos tratando de ser indios en lugar de importantes abogados (aunque no sé por cuánto tiempo más)

Llego un poco tarde al día de muertos, pero creo que debía compartir este mensaje

Hace 68 años, el 3 de octubre de 1957, se lanzó el segundo satélite artificial de la historia y el primer animal en órbita: el Sputnik 2 con Laika.

Al leer este titular me ha parecido una locura comparar a Trump con el Conde-Duque de Olivares. Luego he visto que la afirmación viene de una empleada de la Casa de Medina Sidonia y entonces todo tiene sentido 😅

Este científico está centrado ahora en arrebatarle el Nobel de la Paz a Donald Trump, que lo ganará el año que viene. Puedes leer el texto completo en la web: www.elmundotoday.com/2025/10/un-c...

Del sótano de un palacio en Carintia a la Sorbona, Auer y Urbain se enzarzaron en una disputa científica donde las tierras raras se convirtieron en emblema de orgullo, de ambición y de un nacionalismo químico exaltado. www.jotdown.es/?p=275625

En torno al lutecio, las tierras raras arrastraron a dos científicos a una pugna tan feroz como absurda: un duelo de patrias, egos y espectros que acabó escribiéndose en la tabla periódica con tinta de revancha. www.jotdown.es/?p=275625

La historia de las tierras raras no solo es química: es ambición, rivalidad y orgullo. De Ytterby a Viena y París, Auer y Urbain pelearon por un lugar en la tabla periódica en una disputa que mezcló ciencia, vanidad y poder. www.jotdown.es/?p=275625

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Kathleen Lonsdale's notebook used while determining the crystal structure is also rather wonderful - such elegant handwritten calculations.

Just popped into the Royal Institution for a coffee, to discover they have a lovely display on benzene to mark the bicentenary of Faraday's discovery of it. Here are his notes, his paper, and one of his first samples. Glorious.

Next time an institution tells you how seriously it takes research misconduct, ask them if it's *this* seriously. www.bmj.com/content/297/...

The Fahrenheit Thermometer in Gdańsk, in honour of the scale’s inventor, features two important design choices: - What did Daniel Fahrenheit look like? We don’t know but we’re guessing “ripped” - look we have to put Celsius on the scale as well or people won’t understand it otherwise

Just caught up on this fascinating paper in Science in August. It reports evidence of strong selective pressure from breeding of horses around 5000-3000 years ago in Central Asia. One reason it's interesting is that the selection is *really* strong... /1 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The Royal Society has met to discuss Elon Musk – and they’re NOT removing his fellowship. They are criticising him publicly, but stopping short of actual removal. This feels like the kind of compromise that will please *absolutely nobody*.

I’m really looking forward to the new Sims…
