Late Friday night, 40 high school girls arrived at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for a STEM-themed sleepover, ready to learn about careers in Science, technology, engineering and math. The educational event offered young women a chance to meet working female scientists and to discover opportunities for women in STEM-related professions.
The teens kicked off the third annual STEM Girls Night In with an astronaut Q&A, talks from female scientists across disciplines and a collection of hands-on activities. The night culminated in a three-hour Mars rover competition and concluded with a late-night showing of “Hidden Figures.”

New eCYBERMISSION Website Coming Soon!
eCYBERMISSION is excited to give you a preview of our new website! It has a comprehensive, visually appealing layout and improves the navigation through our resources to make it easier to access. The redesign will also enhance our online capabilities and position eCYBERMISSION as a leader in the online STEM world.
The new website will launch in summer 2013. In the meantime, check out the sample screenshots and let us know what you think.

Stems formed in 2011 with the idea of seeking a new relationship between experimental guitar and classical instruments, to create music with the energy of rock music but with elongated and intense structures of Western and Indian classical music.
To date the band have released one E.P - The 20 minute long track 'Only When all is broken can the truth be seen' and an album 'POLEMICS'. The artwork of both CD's are translucent layered images printed on tracing paper.
In 2013 they embarked on a successful 15 date tour of Europe to promote the album 'POLEMICS' which further developed their following, based around their passionate and intense live performances.
The name Stems is derived from the idea of roots diverging to produce unique strands, all of which are bound to a central body.
Common name
Yellow stem borer (YSB), White stem borer (WSB), Striped stem borer (SSB), Gold-fringed stem borer, Dark-headed stem borer, Pink stem borer
Stem borers Chilo suppressalis (striped) (Photo
8), C. polychrysus(dark-headed) (Photo 9), Rupela albinella (South American white) (Photo 10), Scirpophaga incertulas (yellow) (Photo II), S. innotata (white), and Sesamia inferens (pink) — Damage results from larvae feeding within the
stem, severing the vascular system. Deadheart is
damage to the tiller before flowering. When dam-
age occurs before maximum tillering, the plant
partially compensates by producing additional
tillers.

While in Western cultures, people would eat beans, peas and green peppers or chilly peppers, the Chinese also cook the stems of a great many vegetables in addition to the fruits.
If I recall correctly, this is a stir-fry of green or chilly pepper stems or petioles.

Woody climbing stems of Bramble (Rubus fruticosus agg.) showing backward-pointing spines and axillary buds, about 30 cm long.
The backward-pointing hooked spines help the stem to hold onto twigs and branches as it climbs. Buds can clearly be seen in the axils of the old leaves.
Some of the longer branches eventually arch over and touch the ground. A new plantlet with adventitious roots may then develop at the shoot tip and the plant reproduces vegetatively.

This wonderful dress is part of an exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre, entitled The Beauty of Stem Cells - Fashion Inspired by Stem Cell Research. Unfortunately, I completely failed to photograph much else of it, but there were several other unusual pieces of clothing, and a series of rather nice photomicrographs by Craig Aarts and Radha Chaddah of the Stem Cell Network.
I also completely neglected to record who designed this elegant gown, but it was one of the following students of the fashion program at the RCC Institute of Technology in Toronto:
Muhammad Alamgir / Gulmairam Amankogoeva / Hilary Birkenshaw / Elissa Contino / Liliane Fotso / Julie Hodge / Lena Meier / Sveta Shvedenkova
I'm going to have to get back to this, I think. The exhibit and many other stem cell-related things are on until October the first. More info at bit.ly/rpb68Q and bit.ly/naZGHu.
This image shows a general view of a woody climbing stem of Bramble (Rubus fruticosus agg.) in an Ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior).
Some of the longer branches eventually arch over and touch the ground. A new plantlet with adventitious roots may then develop at the shoot tip and the plant reproduces vegetatively.
The stems are approximately 1 m long.

I ripped thin strips of Douglas Fir to laminate the external stem in place. It took some coaxing, but straps and temporary screws proved adequate.
