11:00The Consolations of Physics: Why the Wonders of the Universe Can Make You Happy by Tim Radford – review - Guardian Unlimited ScienceFrom the Voyager mission to detecting the merging of black holes over a billion years ago, an argument for the pleasures of theoretical thinking A physicist friend of mine once had a terrible spate of misfortune. Her flat was burgled, her cat was run over, and her grandfather died, all in the same week. Needing a bit of TLC, she went to see her professor, who offered three words of advice: “Do some physics.” For most people who are in need of consolation, I suspect physics is among the last things they would consider. Tim Radford, a former Guardian science editor, wants to persuade them (...) -- Science and nature books, Books, Culture, Physics, Astronomy, Cern, Science, Philosophy books

A physics PhD’s experience of a week at the largest science meeting in Europe. When I received an email last December stating that the EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF) was now accepting poster abstracts from early career researchers, I had no idea what EuroScience was nor what an ‘open forum’ was all about. Since it was described as a “great opportunity to network with scientists in research and business and raise your profile” I decided to investigate. Buzzwords like ‘networking’ make my hair stand on end – so much so that I have issued *trigger warnings below - but I also realise it is an (...) -- Science, Physics, Careers

10:00Mishal Husain: ‘With a name like mine, my career would only have been possible in Britain’ - Guardian Unlimited CommentThe presenter has written a book on how to get ahead at work, but is BBC Radio 4’s Today programme her toughest gig?Read an exclusive extract from The Skills below Mishal Husain has written a book, The Skills. It’s not a how-to-be-me, since it understands implicitly how unusual her career is, plus there aren’t a lot of openings presenting the Today programme. Rather, it works as a manual-cum-memoir, with macro elements quoting many psychosocial sources about work and how to thrive in it, as a woman, mainly, but also as a person. In a different context, it would have landed as a kind of (...) -- Mishal Husain, Media, Radio 4, Radio, BBC, Radio industry, Television & radio, Culture, Television, Women, Life and style, Work & careers, Guardian Careers

09:59At last, an Oscar for popular film. Because who needs another The Shape Of Water? | Hadley Freeman - Guardian Unlimited CommentMany of the most enduring films of the past few decades remain ungarlanded When I was a kid, my parents had an amazingly impressive collection of video cassettes, from Bing Crosby’s White Christmas to Shoah (nothing like a nine-hour Holocaust documentary to make these cosy nights in go with a swing). But my favourite tape was The 65th Anniversary Of The Academy Awards: Oscars Greatest Hits! I was not so much obsessed with this video as possessed by it, and to this day my go-to karaoke song is Billy Crystal’s opening number from the 1991 Oscars: “Ghost! Can it win this lottery?/ Ghost!

Only by understanding they are at risk can couples take steps to protect their family if they separate or if they are left bereaved Today is the busiest day of the year for weddings, yet marriage numbers are declining. Currently one in eight adults in England and Wales are cohabiting, a trend steadily increasing since 2002. Society is changing, but sadly the law lags behind. A recent survey showed as many as two in three cohabiting couples were unaware that there is no such thing as “common law marriage” in England and Wales. These couples mistakenly believe they have the same legal and (...) -- Family law, Law, Family, Life and style, UK news, Women, Parents and parenting, Marriage

07:00This mafia style of government makes Trump a role model for all autocrats | Jonathan Freedland - Guardian Unlimited CommentPunishing critics like John Brennan is part of the US president’s ongoing abuse of power – and normalisation of autocracy More than 18 months into his presidency, Donald Trump’s modus operandi – and the danger it represents – is clear. His working method is that of the mafia boss and gangland chieftain, daily wielding his power to settle scores, teach lessons and crush dissent. Anyone who’s seen The Sopranos will know the routine: the casual intimidation, the obsession with loyalty, the brutal ostracism meted out to those who dare defy the man at the top.

07:00Noel Edmonds has a point: complicity with TV ‘fakery’ hurts our democracy | Stuart Jeffries - Guardian Unlimited CommentReality TV has conditioned us to no longer care about what is the truth and what might be a lie In 1991 the French sociologist Jean Baudrillard argued that the Gulf war did not take place. Now, in 2018, Noel Edmonds is arguing something similar. The TV presenter takes part in Eight Go Rallying: The Road to Saigon, featuring teams of celebrities racing across 2,500 miles through Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. But the looming BBC2 reality show is, Edmonds claims, a deceptive fiction. Viewers, he suspects, will not see the grubby truth – that some of his fellow celebrities couldn’t drive so (...) -- Reality TV, Television, Donald Trump, David Attenborough

Not that the motormouth director with a socially provocative back catalogue had traded his sneakers for slippers, but in February 2015, having just released vampire romance Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, he was making a documentary about Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall and, he told the Atlantic, time and fatherhood might have softened him. “If you get angry about everything you’re going (...) -- BlacKkKlansman, Spike Lee, Culture, Film, Jordan Peele, Race issues

08:30Siren Song by Seymour Stein review – memories of Talking Heads, Madonna and the Ramones - Guardian Unlimited Books‘America’s greatest living record man’, who also brought the Smiths to the US, recalls hard living and spotting the right song On a New York City night in late summer, 1976, three former art students were playing at a club called Max’s Kansas City. Observing them from a ringside table were a couple who looked a little older than most of the club’s clientele, and a lot less cool. But there they sat, front and centre, staring at the stage with encouraging smiles, gazing in particular at the singer, a thin, twitchy figure who, in his polo shirt and conservative haircut, looked more like a CIA (...) -- Music books, Autobiography and memoir, Books, Culture, Music, Talking Heads, Madonna, Pop and rock, Music industry, US news
