Interesting Stuff

Coursea has two online courses about climate change this semester: Climate Change from the University of Melbourne and Climate Literacy: Navigating Climate Change Conversations from the University of British Columbia.

Last night's LADEE launch from an island off Virginia, as seen from Connecticut. Good PR, seeing a rocket go up like that -- NASA should do that more often.

1 baby in every 46 babies are born with a congenital anomaly, according to a British report. That's 2.2%, in England and Wales in 2011. Pretty good, considering the complexity of the product.

The world's shortest known abstract.
