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.
Whilst watching the athletics from the Commonwealth Games at the BBC/Science Centre fan park, several people abseiled down the outside of the science centre building, performing choreographed moves in time with one and other.
It turned out it was as part of a River Clyde based music and performance event taking place nearby.
The Russians invaded Science World and used it as their pavilion to promote the next winter Olympics, Sochi 2014, which they host.
Using Arduino to get the cost of probeware down (for science education).
Vernier's cheapest interface is $61 and handles one sensor: www.vernier.com/mbl
Arduino Uno is $30 and has 6 analog inputs: www.sparkfun.com/products/9950
Our goal is to interoperate with this curriculum: www.concord.org/activities/research-focus/probeware
Physics Professor C.D. Hoyle, who was recently recognized by the SPS Observer for his organization of the Science on Tap informal lecture series, will be featured in Meet Humboldt. Be sure to check out his story as well as meet other great people from Humboldt.
I took a free tour of the Science Barge, a not-for-profit enterprise which is trying to prove that NYC's food needs could be met using renewable energy.
Airspeed AS57 Ambassador aka Elizabethan in BEA service. First flight 10 July 1947. Gained notoriety on 6 Feb 1958 with the crash of BEA Flt 609 coming from Belgrade to London via Munich. The aircraft, G-ALZU 'Lord Burghley' was slowed down on takeoff by snow and slush and crashed shortly after. 23 passengers died, 8 of them ManU players. Some recovered from their injuries to play again, but most not. Harry Gregg, goalkeeper, rescued a pregnant woman and her daughter from the wreckage. He met all three later. Manager Matt Busby recovered after receiving last rites twice, and returned to the club.
I only had 2 hours here this visit,so I just managed to capture the ground floor.
The Science Museum is one of three major museums on Exhibition Road in South Kensington, London. It was founded in 1857 and today is one of the city's major tourist attractions, attracting 2.7 million visitors annually.
Like other publicly funded national museums in the United Kingdom, the Science Museum does not charge visitors for admission. Temporary exhibitions, however, may incur an admission fee. It is part of the Science Museum Group, having merged with the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester in 2012.
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Visitor Center in Greenbelt, Md. hosted a special Webb Family Science Night on Wednesday, July 25, 2012.
Participants partook in hands-on activities to see what light looks like after it passes through lenses. By putting one lens in front of another, they made a telescope. Although Webb is not a telescope that will use a lens to collect its light, participants were able to build a telescope of similar ability to that of Galileo’s.
This special Webb Family Science Night was a hands-on and inquiry-based program designed for middle school students and their families, intended to increase STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) engagement, interest, and understanding. The Webb Family Science Night was a collaboration between NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Goddard’s Office of Education. The educational materials supporting this event were donated by SPIE – the International Society for Photonics and Optics.

During an Arctic sunrise on board the U.S. NavyÕs attack submarine USS Pogy (SSN 647), Jay Simpkins (far left), a scientist with the Oregon State University, collects water samples, while Navy Lieutenant Junior Grade Mark Cronley (foreground) stands watch as a safety observer on boats deck.
The U.S. NavyÕs attack submarine USS Pogy (SSN 647) returned to Hawaii, on Tuesday, November 12, after a 45-day research mission to the North Pole. The second of five planned deployments through the year 2000, Pogy embarked a team of researchers led by Mr. Ray Sambrotto of Columbia University. During the several thousand mile trek, the submarine collected data on the chemical, biological, and physical properties of the Arctic Ocean, and conducted experiments in geophysics, ice mechanics, pollution detection, and other areas. For the purposes of this voyage, a portion of the submarineÕs torpedo room was converted into laboratory space. However at no time was the ship ever removed as a front-line warship.

Face-on spiral galaxy, NGC 2835, is split diagonally in this image: The James Webb Space Telescope’s observations appear at top left, and the Hubble Space Telescope’s on bottom right. Webb and Hubble’s images show a striking contrast, an inverse of darkness and light. Why? Webb’s observations combine near- and mid-infrared light and Hubble’s showcase visible and ultraviolet light. Dust absorbs ultraviolet and visible light, and then re-emits it in the infrared. In Webb's images, we see dust glowing in infrared light. In Hubble’s images, dark regions are where starlight is absorbed by dust.
In Webb’s high-resolution infrared images, the gas and dust stand out in stark shades of orange and red, and show finer spiral shapes with the appearance of jagged edges, though these areas are still diffuse.
In Hubble’s images, the gas and dust show up as hazy dark brown lanes, following the same spiral shapes. Its images are about the same resolution as Webb’s, but the gas and dust obscure a lot of the smaller-scale star formation.

Image description: Two observations of the galaxy NGC 2835 are split diagonally, with Webb’s observations at top left and Hubble’s at bottom right. The galaxy’s core is centered and the galaxy’s arms appear to rotate counterclockwise. The spiral arms appear muddled, but it is possible to pick out individual spiral arms. In Webb’s image, the spiral arms are composed of many filaments in shades of orange, with prominent dark gray or black “bubbles,” and the core is bright blue. In Hubble’s image, the spiral arms are a mix of bright blue star clusters and dark brown dust lanes, and the core is a pale yellow.
Emily's science homework was to bring into school something edible that represented a single cell. She baked sugar cookies and frosted them. The walnut is the nucleus. The chocolate chip is the mitochondria. The licorce is the endoplasmic reticulum. The pepermint piece is a vacuole, and the three nerds are ribosomes.
She loves to bake so she made enough for her whole class.
I had to take a picture of it on Pyrex, of course!
