First up, an alternative to cremation. This is very interesting to me because I plan to be cremated. The process, called “promession“, involves freezing the body and shaking it to bits. This reduces the pollution caused by cremation. (Via BoingBoing)
Some UK scientists have permission to create an embryo using genetic material from two women. (via Slashdot)
The Guardian has an article about bad science in the press. (via Slashdot)
Auto-torrenting of enclosures in RSS is a reality! (via Slashdot)
Boston.com’s Top 50 Sci-Fi TV Shows of All Time was linked by Slashdot.

NASA scrapped the Space Shuttle!
