– Lavie Tidhar is looking for books by Western authors that have non-Western settings.

– Justine Larbalestier gives me a word for something that happens to me all the time.

– If you are in the Boston area and have an interest in LGBT issues, here’s a talk in Cambridge you might want to attend.

– The Economist discovers that the traditional way of life in Qatar is under threat… from cross-dressing girls.

– Peggy Kolm on bioengineering mer-people.

– Two interesting developments in fusion research (here and here).

– Some rather depressing psychological research that shows how deeply ingrained sexism is in our minds.
