"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind"

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

Blue hour was almost over. The sky was almost dark now. The last image I took of Science World had 2 sailboats bobbing in the water, not too noticeable but still present and I wanted a shot of just Science World and the dark blue sky with the clouds. I went as wide as I could with my lens and wished I had an ultra-wide angle lens with me. Couldn't fit it in landscape format from this viewpoint so I had to flip the camera into portrait mode. Really wishing I had an L-bracket at this point as the ball head and Arca Swiss style base I was using wouldn't let me get the camera perfectly vertical. I ended getting it close and straightening in post.

Oldest science. part of mathematics concerned with questions of size, shapes, relative position of figures and properties of space. measurement, properties, and relationships of points, lines, angles, curves, planes, and shapes, two and three-dimensions.

It's a bit of an odd angle, I know, but it kept catching my eye as I flicked through my archives...

Rocket science in progress. I found this fence/gate in Disney California Adventure Park at Disneyland. This was behind the washrooms near 'Soaring over California' ride in a flight themed area of the park. I took this picture thinking to put a print on my son's door when he is older.

Built for DA4: Hammer to Fall, the Military Science R&D Lab requirements were that it had at least three levels with a means to transport between them, built in the lego set "dollhouse" style, five minifigs, a support vehicle, and weapon being tested on a firing range, with bonus points for making lego box art.

The Institute accomplishes those tasks:

Build style, check.

Five Minifigs- Ted, the accountant on the top floor. Lisa and Frank, the weapons testers near the cannon. RDJ23, the science bot on the far side. And (unnamed) the test subject in field.

To simulate a weapons range I created a small set of targets for the main gun.

To transport through the building the figs use a series of bi-color portals. Each color corresponding to the same color on another floor.

Finally, they have a catapult ramp for a little scoot.

Hope you enjoyed it! Look for more DA4 stuff in that group over there!

Aeres University of Applied Sciences (Food, Nature & Urban Green) Almere

At the start of the 21/22 academic year, the new building of the green education and knowledge institution Aeres Hogeschool Almere was taken into use on one of the main roads to Floriade Expo 2022. A healthy, inspiring working and learning environment in an energy-neutral, climate-adaptive and circular building. The design reflects both the sustainable identity of the education of the faculty in Almere and the central theme of the upcoming world horticultural exhibition: 'Growing Green Cities'. 'Green' is therefore an important building block for the new building with different types of green walls, plants and trees, moves through the building like a landscape, from entrance to roof. The greenery stimulates the senses and, as part of the living lab, also has an educational value; students in Almere conduct research into urban food supplies and healthy living in the green city and into the way in which greenery in the school contributes to learning performance.

Aeres is the first school in the Netherlands to go for the Platinum WELL certificate. The abundant living greenery itself has many positive effects on the indoor climate. In addition, other relevant factors such as daylight, ventilation, thermal comfort, acoustics, movement and the use of non-toxic materials have also been optimized. Users can control their own lighting, climate and sun protection for each room. Building performance is continuously monitored and controlled by an intelligent building management system. The inspiring interior is also a translation of the educational vision and sustainability ambitions. The functional and varied mix of learning, working and consultation spaces facilitates activity-oriented education, research and project-based and individual work.

The new Aeres University of Applied Sciences is a smart energetic building with smart skin; Depending on the position and orientation, the facades have different properties. For example, PV panels on the west side also provide solar shading in addition to generating energy. The east side, oriented towards the tree garden of the Floriade site, is completely green and changes color with the seasons. The lively nature-inclusive green roof is both a pleasant living space and an inspiring learning and experimental area. A shaded roof of semi-transparent PV panels protects the students from the sun and reduces the heat in the school. Collected rainwater also serves as a heat/cooling buffer and provides watering for the greenery on and around the building. This saves 50% tap water. In keeping with the sustainable ambitions for the new university of applied sciences, we have incorporated various circular materials into the building, such as biocomposite facade cladding, concrete granulate, recycled wood for the grandstand stairs, decking and outdoor furniture and recycled metal studs for the inner walls. In turn, the demountable design itself enables future reuse of materials registered with Madaster.

You can see it pretty well in google earth too - look at where this was taken in satellite mode...

...and of course my other pics from here...!

Here's something I was working on lately

My second part of the steampunk neighbourhood.

Profession gardien de Zoo à mi-temps, il faut assurer le repas bi-hebdomadaire des tardigrades de l’expérience Cell Science 4 🔬. Les chercheurs étudient les effets de l’impesanteur et de l’environnement spatial sur ces créatures microscopiques qu’on surnomme parfois oursons d'eau. L’espèce la plus grande peut mesurer jusqu’à 1 mm de long, mais en général ils sont microscopiques… Ces créatures sont incroyablement résistantes, capables de survivre à des environnements extrêmes sur Terre comme dans l’espace : certains sont revenus de plusieurs jours à l’extérieur, dans le vide, avec des températures de +100 à -100 degrés, sans un dommage... Dans le cas de Cell Science 4, les scientifiques essayent d’identifier les gènes qui leur permettent de survivre durant des séjours plus ou moins longs dans l’espace, et d’évaluer comment l’utilisation de ces gènes change au cours des générations dans le but d’exploiter pour les humains les secrets de leur incroyable résilience !

Feeding the tardigrades! 🌱 Researchers are investigating the effects of microgravity on these microscopic creatures, also known as water bears, through an experiment called Cell Science 4🔬 #DYK the largest tardigrade species is just over 1mm in length and they're incredibly hardy – surviving extreme environments in space and on Earth. In this case, researchers want to characterise the genes that allow tardigrades to survive during short and long periods in space, then assess how the use of these genes changes across generations Maybe we can harness their secrets!

Photos from the March for Science in San Francisco, California, on April 22, 2017. Definitely the smartest signs of any protest I've ever seen.

Some quick snaps in London today...

Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty--some most unsure, some nearly sure, none absolutely certain.
