The British approach to research is embodied in the daily ritual of afternoon tea. At British universities, it is customary to cease work and spend a half-hour or so sipping tea and eating cookies with the members of one's department. Conversation ranges from science to politics to personal chitchat. I found that the professional benefits of teatime more pensated for the time spent away from the bench. Not only was I the recipient of many insightful suggestions and ideas, but simply by explaining my latest results to someone outside my field and answering his or her questions, I was forced to think about my work in a broader context. Relationships were built that were later drawn upon6 for advice, collaboration, and friendship.

At the beginning of the assembly line, salt particles escape from ocean waves and waft up to cooler altitudes, where moisture from the air condenses on them. Droplets form, and many droplets make a cloud. But human industry throws a monkey wrench into this process. The air's moisture also gloms onto "organic particles" (soot) from smokestacks, cars and kitchens. And since there's only so much water to go around, clouds form out of a finer mist, Seinfeld says. Such clouds reflect more of the sun's radiation back into space, making the Earth cooler. Pollution, it seems, has an upside: pensates for warming due to greenhouse gases. Don't pop that cork just yet. Clouds may not produce as much rain. And nobody knows how big the cooling effect will be.
