The Age of Cryogenics?

 Issue Number 95
Dear <<First Name>>

Following speculation in last month’s issue that we might be entering “The Age of Cryogenics,” bearing in mind the sell-out take-up of the recent BCC Cryogenic Training Course, here’s another indicator: Membership of the BCC (British Cryogenics Council  essentially one and the same with the British Cryogenic Cluster)  is at an all-time high, pandemic or no…
 
Turning to something completely different
 here is the BBC reporting on discovery that the “bdelloid rotifier,” dug up from the Alayeza River in the Russian Arctic, has returned to life after being frozen for 24,000 years.  Good News?  We’ll leave you to be the judge …
 
May appropriate cooling be available to help you enjoy Summer in the North!
