Monday's Science Links
Herewith this week's sciency goodness:
- Carl Zimmer at The Loom looks at the resurrection of an ancient retrovirus and its implications for modern medicine.
- Phil Plait, the Bad Astronomer looks at the claim that the Sun is from another galaxy. It's not... and here's a follow-up where Phil admits to an error - but it's still not.
- Jennifer Ouelette at Cocktail Party Physics looks at the history of ghost hunting and psychic research.
- Bill Poser at Language Log looks at the Wikipedia logo and its problems in Hindi and Japanese rendering - phonology wise. (and here's a follow-up on kana from Joel at Far Outliers)
- Stefan at Backreaction looks at the planet Eris (okay, dwarf planet).

Ya got two bad links there. The link for "ghost hunting" is just out of it, and the Language Log link is missing the "l" in "html".
Sheesh. Sorry about that, thanks for the heads-up, and all is now fixed.
