Comic book trade paperback cover with an illustration of a woman, standing in profile, seen from just a I r the waist up. She has black hair, and is wearing a dusky green light jacket over a pale yellow top. In the background, centered behind her head, is a cutaway view of a nautilus shell, with the portrait of a man with long white hair and a beard shown from a different perspective in each shell segment. Comic book trade paperback cover with an illustration of a woman holding a pistol in both hands, pointed directly at the viewer. Behind her stands a large-looking man, his hands on her shoulders. He is wearing what is either a large, loose jacket, or a luxurious bathrobe. In the back is a large circle or sphere that is bright magenta on top and fades to white at the bottom. Behind that is a starscape with many stars and brightly colored nebulae. A comic book trade paperback cover with an illustration of a person of indeterminate sex, with black hair, wearing a high-collared jacket and a shirt and tie, seen from the lower chest up. They are backlit by a bright sphere of yellow, orange, and mottled blacks in the background, behind which is what looks like a starscape behind a greenish corona. A comic book trade paperback cover with an illustration of a knifeblade close up in the foreground, with the reflection of a person's eyes wide in shock. In the background there is a pale blue swash line in a circle, over what look like large plastic bags containing lumpy red objects, with what looks like blood dripping from the bottoms of the bags, which are hung from the ceiling.

#WIPSnips 25: delicious

TBF, his story *is* rather preposterous.

#SciFi #ScienceFiction
My segment got the usual intro, with the usual chuckles and giggles. They projected my mugshot, which got a bunch of amazed laughs, too. My reports of male clothing were amusing, and deliciously scandalous. Just imagine running around in public without a codpiece! With exposed shoulders, no less! They'd had me work with some sketch artists, even as I got made up, well before air time. I described clothes and makeup in my world. The studio audience was all men, and when they saw the artwork they laughed... well, the only word is 'hysterically.' It was a grand lark, imagining women dressing up, and putting on makeup and jewelry, and preening for men.

For #WIPSnips "pipe." From the rough draft of Interstellar Refugees Book-4. #ShamelessSelfPromotion #writesky #writingcommunity #BookSky #SciFan #SFF #ScienceFiction
Daiki interrupted the silence that had ruled since Kizunor came into view. “Hey Cirrus, explain the segments to me again.” “Sure thing, partner. If you squint at a single cylinder, you can see it has seven segments, with the largest in the middle. That’s the rotating habitat segment. At each end of it, there’s a narrow, non-rotating divider. Beyond the dividers, there’re two more rotating segments, each half the size of the habitat. The one toward the front of the ship is for hibernation, and the one toward the back is for industrial use. These rotate in the opposite direction from the habitat segment, so things stay balanced and stable. Finally, there are fixed bow and stern segments. The bow and stern, plus the two dividers, anchor directly to the pipe-like core of the cylinder, but the rotating segments float on magnetic bearings. Got it?”

Our Topic in 2025 - Future Space Technologies Space and space industries are a growing industrial segment in Australia. The nation possesses increasing numbers of companies with "space heritage" (launched something!) and with globally competitive technology. Space is an industry that instantly captures the imagination, but is also provides practical, inexpensive, routine benefits that we all use (potentially unknowingly) every single day. Our topic has been chosen especially to align with local strengths in space technologies to attract delegates from further afield. This forum is co-organised with the CSIRO and sponsored by iAccelerate Session 1: Succeeding in Space We'll hear from people and organisations who have succeeded in translating a great idea into space - be it a physical item or a service. What have been their challenges, celebrations and lessons learned? How can people get support in new space ventures? Session 2: Microelectronics for Space This session will focus on the local expertise of UoW and ANSTO on the effects of radiation in space - on materials, people and microelectronics. Several local teams are characterising the Single Event Effects of cosmic radiation and particles on microelectronics, for example. About the Physics in Industry Day: The annual Physics in Industry Days has been an initiative to bring together researchers, industry, service providers, decision makers, educators and the general public to connect and learn around a chosen topic - either an industry sector or an area of science with significant industrial or national impact in the future. It is intended to be an informal gathering with interesting and informative speakers pitched at a level to engage with an informed general audience.
