College life: how we figured out that our freezer settings were on too high.

“Known as undulatus asperatus, this ominous-looking formation has been described as resembling a rolling seascape — seen from below. It has been proposed for membership in…the International Cloud Atlas. The last cloud admitted was cirrus intortus in 1951”

The Biotech Stradivarius:

“On Sept. 1, an audience of experts took part in a blind test of five violins. One of the violins was a $2 million Stradivarius, made in 1711 by the greatest stringed-instrument maker of all time. Another was a modern violin made of wood that had been specially treated by Professor Francis Schwarze of the Swiss Federal Laboratory for Materials Testing and Research. Schwarze used two fungi to alter Norwegian spruce and sycamore to closely resemble the wood Stradivarius used, then commissioned a violin maker to build an instrument with them. The listeners were asked to identify the Strad, and 113 picked Schwarze’s violin. The actual Stradivairus got only 39 votes.”
