So how's your chirstmas, scientist?
Scientists are increasingly paying special attention to themselves.
This article, published on Nature, is a funny stuff dealing with serious issue among scientists in western world. The authors observed that more and more papers were
submitted on christmas eve (horrible~) and concluded that the scientists community are "collectively falling victim for publish-or-perish institutional cultural".

Top of atmosphere
This is one of my favorite photo about nature, Top of Atmosphere, from NASA. Every time I see it, I spend several minutes merely staring at it.
Nature on earth has endless details and textures, however, it is generated from such simple universe.
Enchanting deep-blue universe.
