If you are not a part of a march, then take the time to celebrate earth day by promoting science and making the world a better place based on founded principles and proven facts.
Live life to make every day, Earth Day!
Construction continues on the Powerhouse Science Center, including the steel structure for the planetarium dome. Last week one curved beam was signed (in white) by several people who have worked to bring this project to life!

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.

2 parameters for group-created experiment:
1. Use a tennis ball in your Independent Variable (but you choose how to vary it)
2. Measure your DV in cm.
The Spectrum 48k. I had one as a 5-year-old in 1982, and now it's in the Science Museum in London.
That's not the original manual though - I still have mine! Notice the copy of Jet Set Willy lurking in the background. Should really have been Manic Miner....
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.

Science fiction author James Blish relaxing in the living room at Arrowhead, his home in Milford, Pennsylvania, some time in the 1950s.
He was either listening to someone speak, or to music; his Scott tube system (which I still have, in working condition) was in the cabinet to the left, (vinyl recordings to the right) and as you can see, the doors are open. He was definitely listening to something, I recognize the expression, having seen it many times.
The house saw many visitors in those days that SF devotees would likely recognize. Editors, authors, agents, fans, artists, friends and relations, it was a busy, busy place. SFWA (Science Fiction Writers of America) was founded in this very room by James Blish, Damon Knight, and some others. Early "fanzines" were mimeo'd here, and the earliest "filk" was sung (in fact, he founded a record label, "Vanguard", upon which was recorded some early filk at 78 RPM... I'm looking for one of those, please contact me if you have one!) Truly a historical place and time for the entire SF community.

The World Science Conference - Israel (WSCI) brings young students from all around the world for an intensive one week program. During the conference the participants have a chance to attend lectures, to interact, and to be inspired by Nobel Laureates of various fields, Wolf Prize and Fields Medal winners as well as other leading scientists from around the world. The students also experience a unique opportunity to meet and get to know some 400 bright students from five continents all around the globe, among them, probably included some of the next generation leading scientists.

THE SILICON VERTEX TRACKER OF THE BABAR DETECTOR AT THE STANFORD LINEAR ACCELERATOR FACILITY.
THE SILICON VERTEX TRACKER IS THE HEART OF THE BABAR EXPERIMENT AT SLAC. HERE PHYSICISTS ARE PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DETECTOR. THE BABAR DETECTOR, PART OF SLAC'S B FACTORY SYSTEM, WILL PRODUCE B AND ANTI-B MESONS, PARTICLE-ANTIPARTICLE PAIRS SO THAT SCIENTISTS CAN INVESTIGATE THE MATTER-ANTIMATTER ASYMMETRY IN NATURE.

The Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), Berkeley Lab and its National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), and UC Berkeley's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Department of Electrical Engineering are collaborating to conduct an unprecedented experiment in the area of hydrodynamic monitoring to advance our understanding of water conditions in the Delta. Understanding how the water flows through the Delta on its way to pumping stations and San Francisco Bay is imperative to balance conflicting demands on this critical resource.

"Evolution and the Second Law (of Thermodynamics) cannot both be true. The Second Law, however, has been confirmed by all sorts of scientific tests, while evolution is a model not even capable of being tested scientifically. If one must make a choice, it would be better to go with science!"

AMES LAB CHEMIST INJECTS A SAMPLE OF PRODUCTS SYNTHESIZED BY A GATE KEEPER-FUNCTIONALIZED MESOPOROUS NANOCATALYST INTO A HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY APPARATUS.
THE HPLC ANALYZES THE YIELD AND PURITY OF THE DESIRED PRODUCT. SCIENTISTS ARE DESIGNING AND PREPARING A NEW GENERATION OF HIGHLY SELECTIVE AND EFFICIENT CATALYSTS THAT CAN BE TAILORED TO SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS. CATALYSTS ARE SUBSTANCES THAT SPEED UP THE RATES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS WITHOUT GETTING USED UP IN THOSE REACTIONS THEMSELVES. DUE TO THEIR HETEROGENEOUS NATURE, MESOPOROUS INORGANIC MATERIALS ARE USED TO ENHANCE THE CATALYTIC PROCESS AND DEVELOP A WIDE RANGE OF NOVEL CATALYTIC SYSTEMS.
