  4. From the article:
    [Shiloh] joined partners in the highlands of Antofagasta and Santiago, Chile, to search for the elusive Diademed Sandpiper-Plover. Under his guidance, the Binational Pluvianellus Project achieved a major milestone: the first satellite tagging of a Magellanic Plover (Pluvianellus socialis), one of the rarest shorebirds in the world. In tribute, Asociación Ambiente Sur renamed the individual bird (once known only as 205) “Shiloh.”

    1. What an honor, having the bird he worked with named for him. ♥

    2. I especially appreciate that it's rare species...as Shiloh was a pretty rare bird himself.

  6. He worked with artificial limbs for decades. Then a lorry ripped off his right arm. What happened when the expert became the patient? [Click] "An experienced clinician in prosthetics, Jim Ashworth-Beaumont found himself the perfect guinea pig for a radical new option for amputees." Once again, a war enables progress in orthopedics.

    1. Thanks, Alan. Between being an SF fan and being intensively interested in advances for the disabled, I enjoyed that article a lot.
