science data collected was good, & here's what telemetry data we recovered during the probe core's brief operation. Battery power should have lasted longer but one of the science experiments was hooked up wrong and sucked way too much power - almost fried
I've recently joined the Council of Science Editors, and just got my first back issues of the journal a few days ago. Woo hoo!
(I've also joined the European Association of Science Editors, but it'll take a while longer to get my back issues.)

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.
We spent the morning at the Boston Museum of Science. He was mesmerized by this display on how tornadoes work.
We also walked out as members, so we'll be back soon. :)
June 15, 2009 celebration of the start of construction for the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II). NSLS-II will be an advanced, third-generation medium energy storage ring that will provide sophisticated, new tools for discovery-class science.

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
Frankly, its embarrassing just how many takes it took me to get this shot. I originally wanted the gyroscope spinning on top of the books, but it kept spinning off by the time I'd lined up the camera and the flash. It also took an age to get the angle of the flash correct - it was attached to the hotshoe on the camera via a cable - no pop up flash on the 5DIII to fire a slave :(
I can't say I'm delighted with this, but after the effort that went into taking it, there's no way its not getting posted.
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.
Completed in 1985, the geodesic dome served as 'Expo Centre' before and during Expo 86. After the fair, the Arts, Sciences & Technology Centre moved here from downtown and the building became known as Science World. During the 2010 Olympics it served as Russky Dom (Russia House).
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.
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.

Jefferson Science Fellow talks birds and brains with Canadian scientists and students.
21-22 May 2009: Calgary / Lethbridge
Cornell University neurobiology professor Timothy DeVoogd, the State Department's 2008/09 Jefferson Science Fellow, visited Alberta to meet with senior academics at the University of Calgary's Hotchkiss Brain Institute and the University of Lethbridge's Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neurobiology. Dr. DeVoogd discussed the potential for scientific collaborations with his Canadian peers, toured research and teaching facilities, and gave two lectures on his research into how birds learn to sing and what this can tell us about the human brain. Dr. DeVoogd's visit fostered new ties with Canadian scientists, researchers and students and engaged them in discussions around how the U.S. and Canada can deepen their cooperation in the fields of science and technology.
