The Copydesk

The Copydesk has a new look, a new layout and a new publishing system.

I’ve spent the day transfering everything over from Blogger to WordPress and messing about with settings for Twitter and Facebook, to change a design and layout that I’ve had in place pretty much for over 10 years.

I still quite haven’t settled, and I have a new logo on the way which should stamp some identity on it all.

In the meantime, welcome back to the best blog in the world with the title ‘The Copydesk’.

The Doomsday Clock has been moved back a minute:

The concept timepiece, devised by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists now stands at six minutes to the hour.

The group said it made the decision to move the clock back because of a more “hopeful state of world affairs”.

Lawrence Krauss, co-chair of the BAS board of sponsors, warned scientists that there was still much to be done.

“We urge leaders to fulfill the promise of a nuclear weapon-free world and to act now to slow the pace of climate change,” he said.

“We are mindful of the fact that the clock is ticking,” he added.
