Linky, linky, who's got the linky? Oh, wait, that would be me.

Watch this one in HD with a nice cup of tea: four minutes of the second-largest aquarium tank in the world, with whale sharks and more mantas than you can shake a stingray tail at. (via)

"Science. It requires ladders." (via)

Children Full of Life, a CBC documentary about fourth-graders learning how to share emotions and to empathize, with applications to grief, bullying, and collective responsibility.

Report on the current state of food allergy research. Some of which is very interesting indeed, and not just the regional variations. (via)

Comparing Orwell and Huxley. (via)

Lost photographs of Hiroshima, recovered from the trash. Consider it a complement to The Big Hiroshima Picture. (via)

By this point, you may want to return to the aquarium for a refresher, if you haven't already. Or continue on to:
