Some reading material for a long Monday
From Aviation Week: Secret two-stage-to-orbit plane program ends. I'd say it's pretty likely that these rumors are legit, and if so... damn, that's a beautiful bit of design. I wish we could reuse it (well, minus the use of insanely toxic fuels) for civilian purposes.

From Seed: A great article on Elizabeth Gould's research on neurogenesis and stress.

From Philip Greenspun: An interesting article on why there aren't so many women in science, which basically raises the question of why anyone would be in science. There's stuff to think about in there...

And if you're really bored, my own post from a few days ago with more politics stuff. I should really know better than to post long essays over the weekend...
