Belated Whoydensday Quickhit: “The Next Doctor” on Australian screens

Inauguration Live!
We’re having a live Presidential Inauguration chat session here, from 12:30 am Perth time (GMT +9). Come and join in!

If you can only be there for part of it, that’s fine too.

Cool Science: Carnivorous sea squirt and ocean spiders
A join Australian/US research expedition has discovered a multitude of new deep-sea species in the Tasman Fracture Zone, southwest of Tasmania. The 30 cm sea spiders I could do without knowing about, but check out some of the other marine life they’ve photographed with their submersible robot.
