[Original post on the Sciblogs The Official Sciblogs Podcast site]
Hello and welcome, once again, to another episode of TOSP.
This week was anniversary weekend in Wellington, so Elf and aimee recorded the ‘cast on Monday instead of Sunday. Because it was, well, a long weekend :)
And what an interesting ‘cast we think it is! This week, we feature viewing the Milky Way’s central supermassive black hole, mad new nanofluidic mixing control, making multicellular life, molecular golems and bioethics, a possible hangover cure, science communication from #scio12, intravenous Vitamin C, some very upset Scibloggers, and the Globe at Night Project. As well as events and some other interesting things…
