From the ever insightful Hugh Kearns www.ithinkwell.com.au In a PhD you have to be a bit more assertive. Ask questions Propose solutions Make a decision Take action Ask if there is anything you can do to help. If you sit and wait you could be waiting for a very long time. #PhDSky

Canadian artist Howie Tsui redesigned an old pinball machine into a simulation of a musket-ball rattling around a soldier's guts for an exhibition on the War of 1812. It's meant to demonstrate the way that repetition and concentration can inure a person to the horrors of war.
