The Microgravity Science Glovebox located inside the International Space Station's U.S. Destiny laboratory module. ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer posted these images to his social media on 27 April 2022 with the caption:
From smartphones 📱 to aircraft ✈️, alloys can be found nearly everywhere. With the Transparent Alloys (CETSOL) experiments, we are researching various metal alloys on the International Space Station, especially with regards to heat and mass transfer processes, which are often influenced by gravity on Earth. Metals are heated in our space furnace at temperatures high as 880° C 🔥 to study microstructures during the solidification of metallic alloys. This research helps in the development of lightweight, high-performance materials that can be used on Earth and in the future of space exploration 🌎🚀
Like many of my other experiments on the Space Station, I will leave this one in the safe hands of my colleague Samantha, who was launched with Crew-4 this morning to join us on the ISS, and will continue them during her #MissionMinerva 💪

This stained section of a pumpkin stem was captured to demonstrate the capabilities of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s high-throughput microscopy instrumentation. The microscope’s high magnification and high speed allow researchers to thoroughly examine large amounts of sample material; algorithms are then employed to pinpoint objects of interest for further analysis. This approach permits a more efficient and cost-effective application of laboratory resources, helping to shorten the path to scientific discovery.

Science in School aims to promote inspiring science teaching by encouraging communication between teachers, scientists, and everyone else involved in European science education. It is published by EIROforum, a collaboration between eight European intergovernmental scientific research organisations, of which ESO is a member. The journal addresses science teaching both across Europe and across disciplines: highlighting the best in teaching and cutting-edge research.

The Science behind the emotion.
Q: Why don’t we forget how to ride a bike?
A: Theory holds several clues to support the oft-heard phrase “just like riding a bike.”
Riding a bicycle is what motor control experts tend to refer to as a “continuous task,” compared to discrete tasks with definite endings (like turning a key to start your car). Peter van Kan, kinesiology professor at UW-Madison, said research has laid out three reasons why bicycle riding feels like second nature.
Discrete tasks draw more on verbal and cognitive skills, while continuous tasks are written into a more reflexive mechanism in the mind. Continuous tasks also require — and are more likely to be given — more attention and time during the learning process, and thus become further ingrained.
“One way to look at it is a continuous task may incorporate many discrete actions,” van Kan said. “(While learning) a continuous task you have many more opportunities to accomplish the many discrete tasks.”
Most important, van Kan said, might be the way we judge bicycle riders. If you learn to ride a bicycle, but then stay out of the saddle for several years, your first few cranks of the pedals post-lay-off may not make you look like Lance Armstrong.
“You may be a little unstable at first,” van Kan said. “But very quickly, as you are repeating those many discrete tasks, you are renewing what you learned years before and you may quickly be stable and appear to be a good bicycle rider.”
At the top of these stairs is the Science Lab where they impregnated cows with aliens and made, alien cow milk! eewww!
in case you were wondering what I was doing, I was making this.

My kiddos we're seeing the destruction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) as they were poured into a beaker of acetic acid to produce oxygen. I hope this helps maintain the scientific curiosity all kids are born with.
thanks to Nathan, Daniel, Jonathan and Gabe.

The covers of these old kid's science books are always so illustrative. Not just because they're illustrated. Look at that bug— you know what you're goinna see under the lens. These were good to have when you were young, truth being stranger than fiction and all.
