As I post this, it is the 2015 General Election in the UK.
Only a vague link, but today I posted this video about a new way to "vote" on which astronomers get allocated time on telescopes.
Some extra footage from the interview answers a few other questions.
And speaking of elections, here's the entertaining Tom Scott on Computerphile.
Congratulations to two chemists at the University of Nottingham for picking up top awards.
The Royal Society of Chemistry prizes have been won by Stephen Liddle and Andrei Kholbystov.
Steve will be well-known to viewers of Periodic Videos, especially for his films about radioactive elements such as Uranium and Plutonium.
Andrei also made a brief cameo in the videos.
The pair both won the RSC's Corday-Morgan Prizes this year - apparently it's a pretty big deal in chemistry circles.
Objectivity fan Elias, from Germany, donned the white gloves when he paid a recent visit to the Royal Society.
He's seen here with head librarian Keith, who is fast becoming a cult hero in the videos.
I wear white gloves in all the videos (whether they are needed or not!) and they're used as a motif across the project.
The world's oldest science journal, Philosophical Transactions, is celebrating its 350th anniversary this year.
The journal is published by The Royal Society, so the society's president Sir Paul Nurse joined me on Objectivity.
Some extra (lagniappe) footage not used in the first cut but still interesting!
News and images from the Nepal Earthquake have been especially sad because I love many of the affected places.
In 2012 (with my wife) and 2013 (with my brother-in-law) I visited both Kathmandu and Everest Base Camp.
As I post this, things are ramping up for the 25th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope.
To make the occasion, we made this video for Objectivity which looks at Isaac Newton's own hand-made reflecting telescope. A tube "floating" on its stand, It was amazing how much the old treasure reminded me of Hubble itself.
Here's our Hubble video from Deep Sky Videos.
And if you just like a good telescope, don't miss my whole series of "telescope tour" videos also on Deep Sky Videos.
Many of you will be aware that Professor Martyn Poliakoff is now "Sir Martyn".
His door at the University of Nottingham's School of Chemistry has been changed accordingly.
I did not miss my chance and (with Sir Martyn's permission of course) have got myself a souvenir from all my years visiting his office to make videos!
The original non-Sir version - Sir Martyn signed the reverse side!
