Then Weird Science can help (as long as the boss doesn't spot ya!).

Weird Science Friday Links give you a nudge towards stuff you'll hopefully find more diverting than the stack of papers in front of you!

Risking your life to get to a teahouse in China.

The idea swap.

Inexplicable objects of the week.

Hi Dan, do you have an email address that I could contact you on? I'm currently working on a project for the media and would be interested to have a chat with you about a Viking article you wrote on here from 2010.
Thanks, Liam

Daniel Smith - a long time ago, in a galaxy far away just north of Watford, Daniel fancied himself as a scientist but turned out to be the worst scientist since that bloke who mapped out all those canals on Mars that turned out to be scratches on his telescope's lens. Luckily, he is now not working on the Large Hadron Collider inadvertently creating a black hole that would swallow the world but is safely behind a desk writing this blog, bringing you the fantastical underbelly of nature... weird science.
