If you do everything right you will get two links, one to your own list of things and a link to the thing (goal) you have created.

Independent Scholars

The New York Sun has a nice article on independent scholars entitled

Oh,To Freely Pursue the Scholarly Life!

According to this article, the main advantage of being independent is independence of ideas,
the main disadvantage is financial.

So what is new?

New Chemical Elements 113 and 115

Oliver Sacks has an article at the New York Times entitled Greetings From the Island of Stability where he writes:

"Last week the discovery of two new elements - 113 and 115 - was announced by a team of Russian and American scientists. There is something about such announcements that raises the spirits, thrills one, evokes thoughts of new lands being sighted, of new areas of nature revealed. "

The article goes on to discuss the new generation of elements which have been "discovered" in modern times.
