The Girl Genius comic for Monday, June 15, 2026 has been posted.
You know, I just realized: this series has been going on since 2002 (yes, really), so that's like one-and-a-half generations worth of cultural evolution about our ideas of what is a nerd. I wonder if reading the whole story from the beginning again reflects that in any way.

Hovertext:
This is one of those jokes where the moment I finish drawing it I realize someone has probably already done it. But then, given that this is recursive, there's at least some layer of Doom on Doom that has not yet been achieved.

This video looks at how thorium reactors generate more fissile material than they consume!

SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH: No further research is needed as it is frankly none of our business.
A conversation with my friend and cardiology colleague, Dr Heeraj Bulluck MBBS PhD, who has written a book called 'Heart Reset 40', which is an attempt to review the highest yield, evidence-based advice for maintaining cardiovascular and overall health.
Heeraj and I don't agree on some of the minutiae, which is normal! And indeed that's why I was happy to invite him onto the channel, but the big things that are most important for preventing the development of heart disease are universally agreed and supported by high quality evidence. This is intended for a general audience, anyone who is interested in protecting their cardiovascular system, but especially for those north of their mid-30s. It is a simple overview of the most important factors, as opposed to getting too into the weeds with certain topics, which may be interesting but can distract from the big picture.
You can buy Heeraj's book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heart-Reset-40-Cardiologists-Science-Backed/dp/1919392505. This video is not sponsored!
