She blinded you with science links

Social Sciences


Color film of London in the 1920s

Chemistry
Physics
Astronomy

Biology

Mathematics
New work on prime numbers (this reminds me of a cool concept story, Julian Todd's critically acclaimed (most critics liked it although some found it flawed) "Mine the Primes" which Allen Ashley discusses briefly here)
