Inspire Me -- Science Edition

I'm still working on a story or two from earlier prompts; your prompts inspired a character I really like, but the plot is hiding.  Hopefully not for long, but so far, I have only fragments.

But tonight I read about a new contest -- the Science in My Fiction Contest.

So, for my writer-friends, go check it out!

And for my other friends, especially my science-geek friends, what cool science discoveries in the last few months can you link me to, that might inspire a story?

As always, your thanks if you inspire a story is a sneak-peek at the story, before anyone else sees it.

Look! Eyes!

I promised pictures; the kittens have all opened their eyes, and the least chubby are starting to walk around, all splay-legged and wobbly. One even climbed from the seat of the couch up onto the arm.

And they don't sit still for pictures!





























And the Mamacat is getting quite tame, and I think she will soon enjoy having other kitten-tenders around from time to time.  And she's pretty!

In other news, I'm still working the temp job; I had an interview last week but they hired someone else.

And I got some more rejection letters, and sent stories out again.

I got to take my kid "browsing" for a prom dress, too.  I don't believe how much those things cost--but she was sure pretty in the ones she tried on!  She's very private, so I won't post pictures.  But I'm a proud Mama!

And thank you to people who've suggested cool science discoveries of the last year for me!  If anyone else has suggestions, please let me know.  They're all fun to read about, even though they haven't yet sparked a story.  But today's been awfully busy.

And now I should sleep, since the alarm rings early. Sigh.
