Yesterday saw BBC Horizon put out a show about ground breaking research into the behaviour of domestic cats. Well worth a look if you have access to BBC iPlayer. The research was based on work concerning the behaviour of Cheetahs in the wild out in Botswana, there’s an interview about this and other amazing science stuff on BBC’s Material World. In other good science news the US Supreme Court has stated that patenting of Human DNA is out of order. 🙂

It’s great to hear that Nelson Mandela & David Attenborough are on the mend and that there’s hope of a peaceful finish to the troubles in Turkey.
