Today's broadcast was about superconductivity. What I managed to hear was interesting, and will have to catch up.

You have to hand it to Melvin, he's prepared to tackle any obstruse topic.

I caught that too. Fascinating topic that I knew little about. There was only one point where Melvin was a bit lost for words... Next week's should be equally interesting. I visited Brahe's observatory on Hven many years ago. Its a great day trip (boat then cycle on the island) from Copenhagen.

Time for me to post one of my favourite cartoons from Private Eye
