    Excellent TWiV! I actually had the opportunity to read “Ahead of the Curve” last year. I totally recommend it.

    Thank you

    ahh, come one, fish-picture + headlines + increased joking in audios

    is populistic, offtopic, non-science.

    You won't go into that direction ?!

    reminds me to the revere-headlines and our

    discussion thereof
