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.
Construction progress on the historic building and the assembly of the tilt-up panels for the new addition.

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.

Description: This W5 star-forming region in constellation Cassiopeia, known as the Mountains of Creation, is captured here by the Spitzer Space Telescope. It is a vast cloud of interstellar gas and dust, 6500 light years away, where intense star formation is occurring. Invisible to the naked eye, the light from these stars heats the gas and dust, making it glow in infrared light. Many background stars are also visible through the glow.

Dr.Mihir Kumar Panda, an Educational, Societal and Scientific Innovator has established an NGO 'SROSTI' at Bahanaga, Balasore,Odisha,India
Dr. panda has innovated/invented more than 10,000 (ten thousand) teaching aids and different innovations and he has more than 30,000 (Thirty thousand) ideas to make scientific and mathematical models.
His creations are very essential guide for school and college science exhibitions, innovative learning and play way method for the teachers and students, science activists, innovators, craftsmen, farmers, masons, physically challenged persons, common men, entrepreneurs and industrialists.
He is popularizing science through song, innovative demonstrations and motivational speech since 1990 in different parts of Odisha state without taking any fees.
Dr. Panda is an extreme motivational speaker in science and possess magical scientific demonstration and a crowd puller.
Innovator Mihir Kumar Panda loves nature and in his agricultural farm he does not uses the chemicals , fertilizers and pesticides. In his farm even the smallest creatures like snakes, caterpillar, white ants, worms ,vermies are in peace and are managed successfully not to do harm.
Dr. Panda is an Educationist, an environmentalist, a poet for science popularization, a good orator, a best resource person to train others in specific field of science and engineering.
The uniqueness of Simple Innovation and scientific activities and achievements ofDr. Panda can not be assessed without visiting his laboratory which is a living wonder in the realm of science.
From a small cake cutter to mechanical scissor, from a play pump to rickshaw operated food grain spreader and from a village refrigerator to a multi-purpose machine, thousands of such inventions and innovations are proof of Dr. Panda's brilliance.
From a tube well operated washing machine to weight sensitive food grain separator, from a password protected wardrobe to automatic screen, from a Dual face fan to electricity producing fan are example of few thousands of innovations and inventions of Mihir Kumar Panda.
Dr.Mihir Kumar Panda though bestowed to a popular name as Einstein of Odisha is obliviously treated as Thomas Alva Edison of India.
Dr. Panda's residential house also resembles a museum with scientific innovations of different shapes and sizes stacked in every nook and cranny which proves his scientific involvement in personal life.
Innovator Panda believes that , the best thing a child can do with a toy to break it. he also believes that by Educating child in his/her choice subject/ passion a progressive nation can be built.
The shelf made scientist Dr. Panda believes that Education is a life long process whose scope is far greater than school curriculum. The moulding of models/ innovations done by hand always better than the things heard and the facts incorporated in the books.
With no agricultural background, Dr. Panda has developed unique natural bonsai in his Vijnana Bana Ashram which also shows path for earning just by uprooting and nurturing the plants which are found to be small and thumb in nature.
Dr. Panda's Scientific Endeavour and research is no doubt praise worthy. One cannot but believe his dedicated effort in simple innovation laboratory.
Social service, innovation/ inventions, writing, free technology to students for preparation of science exhibition projects, free technology to common men for their sustainability, preparation of big natural bonsai, technology for entrepreneurs and industrialists for innovative item are few works of Mihir Kumar Panda after his Government service.
. To overcome the difficulties of science and math, explanation in classes, innovator Panda has created few thousands of educational, societal and scientific innovations which helps teachers and students of the country and abroad.
Dr. Panda believes that though inventions/innovation has reached under thousands and thousands deep in the sea and high up in the space. It has reached on moon and mars, but unfortunately the sustainable inventions/innovation has not properly gone to the tiny tots and common people.
Dr. Panda is amazing and wizard of innovations and works with a principle the real scientist is he, who sees the things simply and works high.
Dr.Mihir Kumar Panda's work can be explained in short
Sports with Science from Dawn to Dusk

D+B office tour to observe construction progress on the historic building and the assembly of the tilt-up panels for the new addition which will house the Planetarium dome.
---
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.

The LCC Science Fiction Club put on a halloween themed event to protect the LCC Campus from Pestum Immortosis - the zombie plague! Club members and the campus had a blast getting candy and pretending.
Everyone was invited to participate in the Zombie Plague Vaccination Program (ZPVP) where Nurses’* Station administered zombie plague vaccinations* in the Student Center on Monday, Oct. 28 and Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2013.
For those that got bitten by a zombie* before being vaccinated*, medication* from the ZPVP Nurses’ Station was available to slow the progression of the disease.
* Notes: Not real nurses, though some of them may play nurses on T.V. Vaccinations and medications are non-pharmaceutical candy-placebos. Zombie-actors respected personal space, and those that participate received a zombie “bite” certificate.

Crocheting science. Free pattern here: knittyprofessors.blogspot.com/2008/10/free-covalence-skin...
Per the author, the pattern is inspired by covalent bonding. Per wikipedia:
A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, or between atoms and other covalent bonds. In short, attraction-to-repulsion stability that forms between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding.
H2O is a covalent bond.
I made the scarf out of Limari in a turquoise colorway. It has a gradient color ranging from a dark turquoise to a lighter blue and is a super bulky mohair/silk/alpaca blend. I choose it for this project because it is smooth and silky and the flow of it across my fingers reminds me of the flow of water across stones in a creek.

ORCID (Open Researcher Contributor Identification Initiative):
science.thomsonreuters.com/orcid/
ORCID is going to be a tool to help create a unique author identity
for science researchers. In their words:
"Name ambiguity and attribution are persistent, critical problems
imbedded in the scholarly research ecosystem. The ORCID Initiative
represents a community effort to establish an open, independent
registry that is adopted and embraced as the industry’s de facto
standard. Our mission is to resolve the systemic name ambiguity, by
means of assigning unique identifiers linkable to an individual's
research output, to enhance the scientific discovery process and
improve the efficiency of funding and collaboration."
There is already a researcher identification / registration /
disambiguation community tool available at:
ResearcherID:
It has been being being heavily promoted by most of the open science
advocates I know for a couple years now.
Nature Network:
network.nature.com/blogs/tags/researcherid
FriendFeed:
www.google.com/search?q=researcher+ID+site:friendfeed.com...
To have a unique author identity is considered critical to any
possible success in the open science movement (resolving the fear of
loss of control of your intellectual property) and as an essential
type of tool for all researchers. It offers clarification of who is
which author with the same initials and name writing on different
topics, as well resolving the problem of which articles are written
under different versions of someone's name.
For example, my most significant article was published under a variant
of my name and cannot be found if searching the name I have used for
publishing for the past 30 years. I can register at ResearchID and
then through the extension in Orcid claim the article as having been
coauthored by me. Then if people search my author ID (which is unique)
instead of my name (which is not very unique no matter what format
you use) what you discover is only those articles really by me, and
ALL of those articles I have claimed are by me.
There are similar tools competing for this role - OpenID and
ContributorID. OpenID is serving the broader Web, not specifically the
research science community, and is collaborating with the US
government. ContributorID is associated with CrossRef, and I am not
sure if it ever really got off the ground. ResearcherID and ORCID are
both from Thomson and both considered in the family of WebOfScience
tools. Most of the folk I know using this type of tool are using
ResearcherID, but that is the folk I know. :) The idea of ORCID is to
bring together these disparate groups and tools, and achieve some sort
of clarity and consensus. You can see this in their membership.

This page includes a list of benefits of unique author identifiers for
researchers, students, & librarians. Keep in mind that Thomson will be
helping folks with ResearcherIDs to merge into the new ORCID system.

They offer free training.

Here is a good library guide example:

They also provide a map mashup tool for those folks going up for
tenure to be able to visualize the scope of their interdisciplinary
and international collaborations:

Another excellent blogpost about this topic says this: "My experience
with the DOI for papers (e.g. the limited support in PubMed) tells me
that adoption of ORCID will be a long process." Ain't it the truth.

This is what happens when you mix household chemicals :) Don't try this at home kids, we are professionals.
I was experimenting with different fluids to find a good density balanace for 'water' drop shots using fingernail polish.
Water was a wash; the nail polish just dissipaited as you'd expect, eventually forming a thin, hard shell on top of the glass. Interesting, but not photo worthy.
Isopropyl alcohol, on the other hand...
This is a syringeful of green nail polish plunged into a shot glass of 99% isopropyl alcohol.
What was really cool (especially from a photographer's perspective) is that the mixture created this substrate, then *kept* it, forming almost a gel. So, I could move my lights around, try different subject/camera angles and distances, and many different light painting trials... all with the same 'sculpture'. And, since things weren't moving, I could use a relatively long exposure to burn in the glow.
The key to avoiding flare on the plastic shot glass was to use horizonal lighting directly from the side. The inner glow came from a bicycle light pointed straight down on the subject, just above camera view.
I made a dozen different combinations, I liked this one best.

Tripura,India,A dragonfly is sitting in my roof, in the evening , in Agartala, capital of the North eastern state of Tripura.
I am seeing a dragon fly , after a longtime , but , they were not so rare, in few years back.
After the introduction of mobilephones, the telephone towers has increased rapidly, and after that, there was a change in the quantity of birds , incest , dragonflies, they are getting less day by day.
Scientists and thinkers , are saying the raditions, from different towers, are the reason for this, and this kind of change, in nature is a sign of a worry, sources says.
