  Broadcast at 6 a.m. and midnight on RTÉ Radio 1, the Sea Area Forecast has come to occupy an almost sacrosanct place in the day for many. Its familiar (though often incomprehensible) language acts as a wake-up alarm for a proportion of the population and sends another swathe of them to bed at the end of the day.
  Yet few people truly understand its unique language and the significance of the romantic sounding headlands whose locations are central to revealing the incoming weather. From Mizen Head to Malin, Valentia to Loop Head, Carlingford Lough to Hook Head, rising or falling slowly, backing south-east to north-east or veering south-to-south-west – what does it all mean?
  Here, meteorologist Joanna Donnelly goes on a journey around Ireland's Sea Area Forecast. Visiting the places that are a familiar part of the daily broadcast and explaining the history, language and science associated with it, From Malin Head to Mizen Head fans our endless fascination with the weather while sweeping us away on a journey around Ireland's most remote headlands.

  Brain injuries can result in highly specific and surprising changes in behavior that have revealed to us how the mind works.The brain is the most complicated object in the known universe. After spending millennia trying to understand our ever-changing world, the brain is now turning its capacities for reasoning, remembering, and understanding inward, as it tries to understand itself.The biggest breakthroughs in neuroscience have come mostly by accident. These accidents didn't happen in research labs. They happened on railway job sites, in showers, on bicycles, in cars or were the result of infections from uncommon diseases.When an individual suffers brain damage as the result of an accident or illness, the negative effects can be profound—life altering and lifelong—yet the insights offered by the effects of these injuries have been revolutionary for neuroscientists. Through an examination of landmark cases of traumatic brain injury, Dr. Lorin J. Elias explains how each case has expanded our understanding of the mind.

  Selenology - The Study of the...

  The Moon has captivated human curiosity for millennia, and its origin remains one of the most intriguing questions in planetary science. Various theories have been proposed to explain how Earth’s only natural satellite came into existence, each offering insights into the early history of the solar system. Through extensive research and lunar sample analysis, scientists have narrowed down the most plausible explanations, with the Giant Impact Hypothesis standing as the leading theory. 
  One of the earliest theories, the Fission Hypothesis, suggested that the Moon was once part of Earth and was flung into space due to the planet’s rapid rotation. This idea, proposed in the 19th century, attempted to explain similarities in composition between the Earth and Moon, but it failed to account for the Moon’s distinct isotopic ratios and angular momentum. Similarly, the Capture Hypothesis posited that the Moon was an independent celestial body that Earth’s gravity later captured. While this could explain some differences in composition, it does not align with the Moon’s nearly circular orbit or its close chemical resemblance to Earth’s mantle. The Co-formation Hypothesis, which argues that Earth and the Moon formed together from the same primordial disk of dust and gas, also struggles to explain the Moon’s unique density and lack of a substantial iron core.

  Roger Windsor’s stories of life as, first, a naive student at vet school, then as a junior vet in general practice, and finally as a senior member of the Veterinary Investigation Service runing a laboratory in Africa, certainly give James Herriot a run for his money. His vignettes of animal woe and human frailty have enduring appeal, and the story of setting up such a valuable service in Botswana, and helping to build that country’s agricultural and forensic veterinary resources, is truly fascinating. With his particular talent for veterinary detective work and more general eye for a character sketch and a tall tale, Windsor will keep even the most animal-averse readers turning the pages of this hilarious and touching autobiography.
