isn't science exciting

Ignoring the atomic bomb and animal experiments just for a moment - isn't science thrilling. Headlines like Mars probe finds rare life on Earth make my day - yes, really.

It makes it hard for me to understand why some people seem to be determined to waste time on warlike stuff when there's so much to be discovered just under our feet.

Science makes my day often. It did yesterday, in fact. Being a big old nrrd grrl I've read quite a bit about the Wollemi Pine; stirring stuff in itself. Then I was strolling through Southbank yesterday on my way elsewhere when what do I spot, planted under lock and key in a plant penitentiary? Yes, one of these rare, baubled, green dinosaurs! Gave me a giddy thrill, it did.
