Episode 9. Mr Tickle, a cloud of low energy photons and Tom Cruise is going to come round and punch you.

Howdy, yee-haw and yippee-ki-yay buckaroos. Get your ears on, because we're headed west of the Pecos for the rootin' tootin' episode 3. of Lab Rat Jazz Club, where things are fixing to get plumb loco down in the lab. Hot-diggerty-dawg. As usual, there's the odd cuss word, but not the big one.

Here's the link to the paper, but listen first and read after. Link to Dr Eren's fine research paper. Here is a link to the Supplementary Data, which has all the photographs in it. It's true, they actually did it.

Email questions, comments, suggestions and Michael Blanche fan mail to [e-mail]. You should probably open with; "Dear Michael, loving the show; oh my goodness, you are so fab (etc, etc.)"

We really can't be arsed with the admin for social media or fending off all the inevitable and well deserved online abuse, so help us out listener. In the unlikely event that you 1. enjoy the podcast and 2. don't mind people finding out that you enjoy the podcast; then tell your friends. You know the drill by now; "Have you heard about Cows and Effect? It's a farming podcast with the charming, handsome and and brilliant Michael Blanche. You know, the guy from The Pasture Pod and that time thing. He's amazing. I love him. There's another one, but I've forgotten his name. It doesn't matter; did I say it's got Michael Blanche in it?"

Somehow, we keep coming back to polar explorers and we finally got around to Scott. Links to short films about Scott's last expedition.
