Our Daily Challenge ... science.
The boys and I have been doing some experiments with crystal growing during the holidays. We still have several more bags of salts to dissolve and grow so maybe some more to photos to come.
The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is known as crystallography.
The process of crystal formation is called crystallization or solidification.
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.

The California Academy of Sciences is a natural history museum in San Francisco, California, that is among the largest museums of natural history in the world, housing over 26 million specimens.[1] The Academy began in 1853 as a learned society and still carries out a large amount of original research, with exhibits and education becoming significant endeavors of the museum during the 20th century.[2]
Completely rebuilt in 2008, the building covers 400,000 square feet (37,000 square metres) and is among the newest natural history museums in the United States.[1] The primary building in Golden Gate Park reopened on September 27, 2008.[3]
The Academy's museum operations[8] are the outward, "public face" of the Academy of Sciences and the educational aspects of the exhibits and public outreach programs are managed in a division called "Public Engagement and Education" (see below, Public Education). Underlying these operations is a staff of hundreds of employees who operate the day-to-day functions without which the Academy could not offer its programs. The operations branch of the Academy is divided into three departments: Building Operations, Guest Operations, and IT Services.

Besides its famous museum programs, the California Academy of Sciences offers many educational and community outreach programs[12] to members of the public at large.
Most of my favorite books are SF&F novels. As a consequence I regularly read books in English, since this is the main stream language of SF. With this picture I don't want to provoke a discussion between science fiction and fantasy. To me they are complementary.
One of only three shots I got tonight due to cold and rain. Now that fellow flickerite Rod Goodwin ( www.flickr.com/photos/20966211@N03/ ) has moved west I thought it a nice change of pace to go and visit Glasgow Science Park at night to what could be found. I decided I'd break a few rules with converging verticals in this shot. I quite like the distorted effect.
I cant decide If I prefer this or the color version.
Definately a place to revisit when its dry.
Computing Sciences hosted 14 local high school students as part of an outreach program to introduce students to various career options in scientific computing and networking. The sessions include presentations, hands-on activities, and tours of facilities. The program was developed with input from computer science teachers at Berkeley High, Albany High, Richmond's Kennedy High, and Oakland Tech. Computing Staff present a wide range of topics including assembling a desktop computer, cyber security war stories, algorithms for combustion and astrophysics and the role of applied math.
