		<description><![CDATA[The recent experimental result showing that one type of neutrino can apparently travel faster than light is looking rather dubious. The result was first reported in September from the Gran Sasso lab in Italy, which claimed to have detected neutrinos from CERN a few billionths of a second quicker than was predicted. It’s fair to <span class="excerpt-link"><a href="http://www.pippagoldschmidt.co.uk/2011/12/repeating-the-experiment-alan-garner-and-the-faster-than-light-neutrinos/">Read more &#187;</a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tacita Dean’s current installation in Tate Modern is a homage to the dying art of creating images on celluloid film, before it is completely killed off by digital media. It’s a compilation of film clips blown up to enormous scale to show features unique to that medium, such as sprocket marks, scratches etc. For her, <span class="excerpt-link"><a href="http://www.pippagoldschmidt.co.uk/2011/10/eulogy-for-the-silver-grain/">Read more &#187;</a></span>]]></description>

It’s a black and white photo of the sun showing the transit of Venus, a small black circle in the lower half of the image. The photo is indistinguishable from many ‘scientific’ images of the Sun. It shows ‘limb-darkening’; the darkening of the sphere at its <span class="excerpt-link"><a href="http://www.pippagoldschmidt.co.uk/2011/09/our-star/">Read more &#187;</a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For some time I’ve been working on a short story based on a historical event (I read an earlier version at last year’s Book Festival). Part of the reason for doing this is to explore and maybe even commemorate this event, which has been almost completely forgotten, along with a whole range of other similar <span class="excerpt-link"><a href="http://www.pippagoldschmidt.co.uk/2011/05/the-elephant-in-the-observatory/">Read more &#187;</a></span>]]></description>

Sander was a photographer who took detailed portraits of people in Germany in the early part of the last century.

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve had another break from blogging. I appear to have a one-track mind, and I’ve been so pre-occupied with finishing the first proper draft of my novel that I haven’t been able to write any non-fiction. Right now, the novel is lurking in a mountain of paper underneath my desk.

As a result we received some fantastic stories, and so this year I’m repeating the exercise – for poets. The theme of the competition is ‘improving the human’.
