Yay! And a correction

A few weeks ago I reported that South Africa had won backing to host the Square Kilometer Array. I got it wrong. The Advisory Committee had recommended that the project go to South Africa, but there was no decision that it would. The final decision is to be made mid-May and apparently the backing of South Africa by the Advisory Committee has not ruled the joint Australia and New Zealand bid out of the race. 

Damn...

Many Australian science lovers had their fingers crossed that the enormous Square Kilometer Array project would be built in Western Australia. Now Nature is reporting that South Africa has won in the bid.
