Status-Q

...when you could be taking me for a walk?

Digging through some photos from a few months back, I found this rather fine Nash Ambassador, spotted deep in the Michigan farming countryside.

Here's an excellent Nature article by Ahmed Zewail. Extract:

I've always liked Einstein's comment that "if we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research".
