Sexuality is different from most other minorities: you can be the only gay person in your entire family. Your parents likely don't know what it's like to be gay, can't teach you about gay history and gay issues first hand. That's why it's so important to teach it in schools.

Disaster movies have terrible CGI these days. Far too over the top to happen in realit...

As a biologist who did a research project on ladybirds, I am very concerned by this CAPTCHA. Clearly none of them are actual ladybirds!!!

I just got rejected from a job I had really set my heart on and I am totally and utterly crushed. If I can't even get a part time job making online videos about scientific research from a certain prestigious university then what the fuck other jobs am I going to get? I give up.

Dear science TV, Saying "man" or "mankind" instead of "humans", "people" or "humanity" doesn't make you sound authoritative or add gravitas. It makes you sound like you don't give a **** about 51% of the population. Disgruntled, Sally.

I can't believe I actually got to see the Aurora Borealis! In Cambridgeshire! With the naked eye! Despite all the light pollution! AMAZING!
