Happy Friday! I’m going to be up late on Sunday watching the Perseids, so Monday’s Folderol may be late/nonexistent. In the meantime, off to the links we go!




From Julie: Doctor Who turns 50 next year, and a special “genesis” show is in the works.



Also from Julie: Scientists discover a human species which lived two million years ago. Have they watched the new Battlestar Galactica?



From Cassandra: Creepy people really can give you chills.



Also from Cassandra: Transgender is in the news more often these days, but everyone’s story is different.



From Bunny: Texas A&M brings you “Research Games.” Also from Bunny: an example of virtual nanoscopy (which is amazing) and an example of using 3D printers to make “magic arms” for a little girl (which is also totally amazing).



Have a spiffy weekend, everyone! See you Monday…or maybe Tuesday.
