This week's #NewBooks at the library: Two more books bought in my employer's January clearance sale. Drew Harvell's Ocean Outbreak: Confronting the Rising Tide of Marine Disease from the University of California Press, and Benjamin von Brackel's Nowhere Left to Go: How Climate Change Is Driving Species to the Ends of the Earth from The Experiment.

In the middle is another of Jack Yeovil's Dark Future novels, Route 666, that I bought off eBay after listening to Jordan Sorcery discussing it. I put your theory to the test, Jordan, but it seems your podcast did not drive the price up, as I was the sole bidder and paid a tenner for this.

When the Church made her stop writing, she signed her vows in her own blood. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz: the Tenth Muse who wrote anyway.

Thanks to @neuSoM for sharing!

Some news reports are mistakenly saying Wiseman said "We are going for all humanity" before liftoff. Sorry, it was Canadian Jeremy Hansen.
Check the video at 2:51.
UPDATE: It appears it was a BBC report that initially got it wrong. I sent the reporter a note, so hopefully he'll see it and get it corrected. Unfortunately, other outlets are using the story.
