QUOTE OF THE DAY

“My very first reaction to knowing that the tenure was really going to happen was grief, because I was part of a cohort. I’m the only one who will probably get tenure in our lifetime.”
Chanda Prescod-Weinstein says she felt both relief and sorrow when she became the first Black woman in the United States to earn tenure in cosmology.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“The throat of a whale is about the size of a grapefruit. Anything that’s larger than that just kind of comes out. Thank goodness for that.”
Physical therapist Julie McSorley was watching humpback whales from a kayak when her boat capsized and she ended up in the whale’s mouth.

The oldest known pet cat existed 9,500 years ago

This interesting fact about cats is guaranteed to wow at your next dinner party. Did you know that originally it was thought that Egyptians domesticated the cat? But in 2004, French archaeologists discovered a 9,500 year old cat grave in Cyprus. This makes this the oldest known pet cat and it predates Egyptian art about cats by over 4,000 years!

A cat was the Mayor of an Alaskan town for 20 years

An orange tabby cat called Stubbs was the mayor of Talkeetna, a small town in Alaska for 20 years! He had several uncontested elections and although he didn’t hold any legislative power, he was loved by locals and tourists alike.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Science provides a great reason to go to Mars — just not for a permanent settlement.”
Most of the reasons mooted in the space-ethics literature for settling a large number of people on Mars don’t stand up to scrutiny, argue astrobiologist Kirsi Lehto and philosophers Oskari Sivula and Mikko Puumala.
