Nicolas Ochart and Linae Myhand of the “Science Kids,” a team from Heidelberg Middle School's 7th grade Science Club present information on wind turbines. They hope to implement the energy in their school by placing a wind turbine on the roof of the middle school. They presented their research at the Feb. 11 Community Update at the Patrick Henry Village Theater in Heidelberg.

Description: Insulin, a protein hormone that is produced in the pancreas and regulates the metabolism of glucose, fats and proteins, was discovered by Frederick Banting and his student Charles Best. Later, the X-ray crystallographer Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was able to fully establish its tridimensional complex molecular structure. The two chains that make up insulin are shown in this model. The larger balls represent zinc atoms that were introduced chemically as a reference to help to decode the rest. Each monomer is composed of 51 amino acid units, containing about 256 atoms of carbon, 381 of hydrogen, 65 of nitrogen, 76 of oxygen and 6 of sulfur!

Pacific Science Center includes six acres of hands-on science fun, two IMAX theaters, Tropical Butterfly House, Live Science Stage shows, Discovery Carts, Laser Dome and much more.
I don't remember what this was, but I remember it was at the science museum in London. It's one of the many free museums in this city. You have no excuse for being bored in London - you're just not taking advantage of what it has to offer.

The Aperture Science symbol in origami!
Designed and diagrammed by me in Inkscape.
The design of the symbol seemed very obvious to me but it took me longer than expected as I kept on trying the silly, harder, impossible ways.
The diagrams are in a mixed format, a crease pattern with finishing steps. Instructions for making the required octagon are also given.
Similar origami designs are bound to exist using the octagon twist fold because the structure is so basic but I take my claim by calling it the Aperture Science logo.
Stuff belongs to its respective owners, etc.

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.
Budding future scientists and engineers gathered Saturday, March 7, at the 60th annual Northeast Indiana Regional Science and Engineering Fair. Students in grades 4--12 from 48 schools in an 8-county area displayed their winning projects and competed for numerous awards, including over $2,500 in cash prizes. Photo by Jim Whitcraft
Sometimes science is recognized as having an ivory-towered view on certain things. So here is the view out of one of those ivory towers ;-)

New poster design for Science Jamboree!
Manchester Girl Geeks and Teawitter will be holding a joint science-themed event at Madlab on Sunday, 30th October (1-5pm). There will be plenty of activities taking place including:
• Build a Robot
• Kitchen Chemistry
• Science Busking
• Mathematical Origami
• Tea and Cake!
Tickets for the event are available at: mggteawitter.eventbrite.com/
You can find out more about Science Jamboree on the Manchester Science Festival website.
Foundations for the addition are being poured.

As part of Manchester Science Festival. The ‘Science Extravaganza’ brings together experts from across the faculty, creating family friendly workshops for members of the public. This year, the John Dalton Building became a Forensics Lab for a giant game of ‘who done it’, complete with detective notebooks and crime scene tape…
We were also proud to to host Combination Dance Co. working in collaboration with scientists from MMU, UCL and the Motor Neuron Disease Association. Dancers and martial arts performers staged an interactive dance exploring how we currently understand a motor neurone works, how MND affects the body and the effects MND has on those living with the disease.

The Dante Accelerator
1
Poor, old Dante, dead of simple neglect,
Lost in stinking marshes of the Veneto.
There was no magical mold to resurrect
His mortal flesh in the quatrocento.
At least he died with the best poetry of the age on his mind.
Even today the atomic haze of his bones cannot be recalled;
Only the corpse of his Comedy can be raised for academic repartee
In lecture rooms filled with smoke and blank faces of the damned
Who know it is impossible to frame a world shifting reality
On a daily basis, the new fable circling on metaphors of unseen graces.
2
The picture keeps falling out: it rolls
Like a cathode-ray tube out of sync.
Glimpses of Dante float, ascending souls
Or descending on a screen of measured blink,
Holding up three fingers for everything
Here or there, or somewhere faintly inbetween.
His truth is historical, something quaint,
Certainly no longer divine,
Nothing to support the subatomic ethic of antimatter man.
The best we claim Is the rough and imprecise
Uncertainty Principle of Heisenberg;
Uncertainty Is one thing that is certain in the game,
Our salvation raveled out in loose equations.
3
Dante's dreams of Hell become Catholic
Compared to the depths of our unknowing.
Forced to forge a chain reaction logic,
There is only the grim undertowing,
Experimental, circular machine --
Only pale photographs of tracks left by
Particle souls created inbetween
Millionths of a second to identify
Frightening collisions at velocities
Near a speed mere flesh calls light.
Yet, somehow, Dante fits. We desire
Close bolgias as a respite from this slight
Reality: at times we would rather be
Standing face to face with a rain of fire,
Blind and lost at the Omega Point of
A medieval desert rather than dwell
Uncertain, knowing without divine love
It is forever neither Heaven nor Hell,
Only quantum pouches filled with statistical
Mice twitching, at best, probable whiskers.
D.A.Adams
(1980)
