There must be something important in GAIA’s near future! We’ve learned that GAIA director, William Brighton, recently turned down a speaking engagement with the New London Science Fellowship for next week. Either the director has some urgent GAIA business to attend to or a holiday in cooler climes is just too much for him to resist this time of year. He was recently sighted boarding a private jet at the GAIA airfield. We’ll keep our ears to the ground!
