Planets form in organic soups with different ingredients
Interesting article found on Mastodon, scientists have mapped the chemical composition of planetary nurseries. Looks like I have quite a bit of reading to do, as there are 3 papers linked to this article.
I have included the usual links to the original article & discourse discussion.

Code Club 4/10/2021
I am back at Code Club today, 2nd session since our return. If you are still not sure what Code Club is, then you have clearly being living in a cave since about 2012. Anyway, it is a coding club for children, generally 9-13 years of age.
The Paignton Club is a little more advanced, in that some of the attendees are working through a responsive web design course.
It would be really good to get MORE code clubs in Torbay, and in fact would be really nice if those clubs could collaborate, share expertise, maybe some resources.

Disciplinary Procedures
I have now undertaken the disciplinary procedures course with elearning at work.
This course covers the aims of the disciplinary procedure, penalties including investigations, allegations and suspensions, procedures for carrying out hearings, and appeals.
The course covers the following modules:
Disciplinary Procedure and Confidentiality
Investigations, Allegations and Suspensions
Notification Of A Hearing, The Right To Be Accompanied, And Procedure
Penalties, Their Effects, And Appeals
Holding Disciplinary Hearings And A Case Study
Rationale
You may be wondering, why I felt the need to do this course. The answer is simply, accountability. This is 2021
Everyone's invited [6] and a recent Royal College of Nursing Conference [5] both point to a serious issue with Sexual Harassment
In the case of [6] some young people were fobbed off, accused of lying or told it was their fault.
The other courses I have undertaken recently [3].[4] ad [5], all cite disciplinary procedures as a way to eventually and ultimately solve the issue, so knowing the processes complements these courses.
