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.

SCIENTIST USES THE JEOL 4000 EX DEDUCTED HIGH RESOLUTION TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPE AT HTML.
THE HIGH TEMPERATURE MATERIALS LABORATORY (HTML) BEING CONSTRUCTED AT DOE'S OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY WILL SERVE AS THE FOCAL POINT FOR A MULTIDISCIPLINARY STAFF INVESTIGATING CERAMICS WHICH HAVE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH- TEMPERATURE STRUCTURAL APPLICATION, SUCH AS IN ADVANCED DIESEL ENGINES, TURBINE BLADES, AND OTHER TRANSPORTATION AND ENERGY GENERATION SYSTEMS. IT WILL CONTAIN STATE-OF-THE- ART EQUIPMENT FOR CORRELATING THE MICROCHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS WITH THEIR PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. THE TWO-LEVEL, 64,500 SQUARE-FOOT HTML WILL ALSO FUNCTION AS A USER FACILITY FOR INDUSTRIAL AND UNIVERSITY RESEARCH COMMUNITIES. OF THE 49 LABORATORIES IN THE HTML, 13 WILL COMPRISE USER CENTERS FOR ELECTRON OPTICS, HIGH-TEMPERATURE X-RAY DIFFRACTION, PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH, DR. LARRY ALLARD, SENIOR RESEARCH SCIENTIST IN THE HIGH TEMPERATURE MATERIALS LABORATORY OF OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY, INVESTIGATES THE ATOMIC STRUCTURE OF A STRUCTURAL CERAMIC MATERIAL USING THE ULTRA-HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGING CAPABILITIES OF THE JEOL 4000EX DEDUCTED HIGH RESOLUTION TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPE.

Nerdy Cards for Nerdy People
Lab-a-Taq carries a line of super nerdy science greeting cards. They are created by a graduate student at UCSF (my sister, Tina) who wanted to capture her own experiences and those of her colleagues in a unique way. Check 'em out!
The Faculty of Science offers Science Rocks! summer camps every year throughout July and August. Designed especially for young people in Grades 4, 5, and 6. These camps are great fun and an awesome learning opportunity for campers.
Today the kids learned to make super stretchy silly putty, watched some amazing science demos, and flew paper airplanes on the green.

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.

The Exploring Earth Science Teacher Workshop 2017 took place over August 2nd and 3rd. Participating teachers spent two days in Shenandoah National Park learning and participating in activities around the theme "Shenandoah Salamander: Climate Change Casualty or Survivor."
This program is supported by a generous donation from the Shenandoah National Park Association and the Shenandoah National Park Trust.

The Science Museum is a major museum on Exhibition Road in South Kensington, London. It was founded in 1857 and today is one of the city's major tourist attractions, attracting 3.3 million visitors annually.
Any aquarium worth it's weight in saltwater, has to have some sort of overhead tank scene. The California Academy of Sciences does not disappoint in this regard.

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.

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 spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon brought in hundreds of students to Columbia University's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science April 6-7 for 24 hours of creative collaborative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
NYC Startups, selected by a student organizing committee, presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, after which students formed groups to work through the night implementing their own ideas for fresh hacks built on top of these APIs.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel featuring members of the NYC startup community, which selected the final winning teams.
Since April 2010, hackNY hosts student hackathons one each semester, as well as the hackNY Fellows program, a structured internship which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment: a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup in NYC.
To find out what you missed at the spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon please do see our HackerLeague event page and blog post announcing the winners.
Special thanks to our spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon judges! And congratulations to the winners of the spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon!
