Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.
Pupils from Monteney Primary School, Sheffield, and Holy Trinity School, Barnsley, visit the University of Sheffield for a buckyball workshop with Professor Sir Harry Kroto. The session was part of Kroto Day, when Sheffield graduate Sir Harry, who the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for discovering a new form of carbon known as buckminsterfullerene, visited his old department.

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.

Photos for work from the 7th annual Des Moines Public Schools Science Fair. More than 200 students in grades 6-12 presented their research for a chance to go on to the Iowa State Science Fair. A lot of smart, confident kids all in one place.
Why are we building two new species: Homo chippus, a milliHuman, and Homo chippiens, a microHuman?
Microfabricated humans-on-a-chip! Why? Because it’s fun and a REAL challenge. Using the tools of physics, chemistry, engineering, physiology and molecular biology, we are exploring the unfathomable complexity that affects our development and growth and individual responses to disease, drugs, and aging. Multidimensional phase space illustrates the variables that affect H. chippus, H. chippiens and the scientists doing the work.

The Health Sciences Program at the University of Hartford prepares you for professional or graduate study in health-related fields, such as occupational therapy, speech pathology, or public health.
The pre-professional track of the health science program prepares you for professional or graduate study in such health-related fields as dentistry, allopathic or osteopathic medicine, optometry, chiropractic, or podiatry.
The curriculum includes prerequisite coursework for many graduate programs in health-related fields, such as biology, physics, and chemistry. The curriculum can also be tailored to meet your needs if you are interested in graduate programs with unique prerequisites (for example, two semesters of physics or a semester of biochemistry).
Additionally, you will take health science courses that introduce you to a wide range of health-related topics, such as Educational Strategies for Healthcare Professionals, The Human Genome, Introduction to Public Health, and Cardiovascular Disease. These courses can help you determine your long-term career goals by exposing you to a range of healthcare professional roles.

Molecular geneticist Dr. Ewann Berntson and her team at Northwest Fisheries Science Center's Genetics and Evolution Program (Seattle, Washington) have been performing genetic research on fish (primarily salmon) populations for over 30 years. The research covers many areas, including monitoring interactions between hatchery and wild populations of salmon using genetic markers, estimating stock composition in mixed-stock fisheries, providing forensic analyses in support of NOAA Fisheries' Office of Law Enforcement, and developing non-lethal sampling techniques in nontrawlable habitat.
Summer Reading kick-off program where kids were able to interact with science experiments with dry ice, flash paper, exploding bottles & more. Lots of fun was had by parents and kids alike!

Puffing Billy seen in the Making the Modern World Exhibition at the Science Museum
Puffing Billy is an early railway steam locomotive, constructed in 1813-1814 by engineer William Hedley, enginewright Jonathan Forster and blacksmith Timothy Hackworth for Christopher Blackett, the owner of Wylam Colliery near Newcastle upon Tyne, in the United Kingdom. It is the world's oldest surviving steam locomotive
