Science still needs a second and a third. There's no more interesting field in the world in my opinion. For example; it's just been announced that scientists have achieved a "mind-meld" between a rat in Brazil and one in North Carolina, USA. Can you even begin to envision the implications of what that means for the future of the human species? There's an article on it in yesterday's edition of
Nature. See also the entertaining and free short story bmcox was inspired to post on his blog, the link to which can be found in
this post.
