New blog! After celebrating our 5th birthday last week, today in #CosmicStories we're looking at sonic weaponry and devices in #scienceandSF and their impact in "The Walls of Jericho". Featuring Rudyard Kipling, Transformers, WH40K, Star Trek and many others, as well as a certain Doctor's famous screwdriver.
It's a Bonus Blog day! To celebrate a full FIVE YEARS of Cosmic Stories this week, I'm posting a slightly more reflective biographical piece as the first in a new occasional series on the relationship between #ScienceandSF at a personal level - Scientific Journeys.
