I just finished reading the book Bad Science by Ben Goldacre. Absolutely fantastic. The book is basically about the importance of science, particularly in medicine and how it relates to the media. It covers the scientific method and points out how various journalists and pseudo-scientists are essentially ruining "real" science. I found the book absolutely amazing, and want to include the write-up on the back as I thought it was outstanding:
"Unmissable....laying about himself in a froth of entirely justified indignation, Goldacre slams the mountebanks and bullshitters who misuse science. Few escape: drug companies, self-styled nutritionists, deluded researchers and journalists all get thoroughly duffed up"

Science Foundation Ireland hosted St Patrick's Day Science Medal Celebrates at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, DC, Wednesday March 16, 2016.
Part of my third grader's science project. This is what you get when you touch a dollar bill to a petri dish full of growth medium. I guess this is why people launder money.
Anyone care to ID them?
[embiggen] Originally established in 1951, the California Science Center recently underwent a redesign, adding this beautifully covered plaza outside the main entrance, and also tacking on an IMAX theater. At 7 stories high, it's currently the biggest IMAX screen in Los Angeles.
Admission to the museum is donation-based, so if you're in LA and haven't been, get off your duff and go!
Shot taken in the technology section . My two kids enjoyed the visit so did I with so some interesting shots .
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.
I think this is made from post-it notes. At least it looks like it. If you look closely you'll see that the "CERN" bit is made from blue post-its, while the rest is yellow post-its. It looks like a cool old-fashioned eight-bit display.
On the CERN site.

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.

Three buildings making up Glasgow's Science Centre: The IMAX Cinema (top right) the Science Mall and the Glasgow Tower (distance).
The California Science Center offers fun and informative permanent exhibits presented in interactive worlds. Through hands-on experiences in our galleries, you'll learn about human inventions and innovations, the life processes of living things and more. The Science Center also features fantastic special exhibits that change all the time, so visit often to find out what's new!
Catching up on photo processing. These were images from our trip to the Baltimore Science Center back in April.
Neptune’s moon Triton is a fascinating object of great scientific interest. When Voyager flew by it was, with a surface temperature of 33 K, the coldest body yet found in our Solar System and had volcanic activity and geysers.
Because of Tritons retrograde orbit and its composition similar to Pluto's Triton is thought to have been a dwarf planet "captured" from the Kuiper belt. This means that Triton might be KBO (Kuiper Belt Object), a leftover building block of the solar system.
Hence, a mission to explore Neptune's largest moon would provide insight in to one of the least understood and most interesting kinds of bodies in the solar system because it contains material from the outer solar system, and thus allows the study of the composition of areas of the primordial solar system that are relatively unchanged by thermal alteration processes that occur nearer to the Sun.
Of particular interest are surface deposits of tholins, organic compounds that may be precursor chemicals to the origin of life, formed by solar ultraviolet irradiation or cosmic rays from simple carbon-containing compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane(CH4) or ethane (C2H6), often in combination with nitrogen (N2). Tholins are not present on the surfaces of inner solar system bodies but ubiquitous on the larger KBOs. These organic deposits may hold keys to the biochemical origin of life.
In addition to its interest as a KBO, Triton is also geological active. During a flyby, Voyager's camera captured from a distance of about 99,900 kilometres eruptions near the Tritons south pole, shooting dark particles up to 8 km high into Triton's thin atmosphere. These geysers may be a link to a hypothesized subsurface ocean. Each eruption of Tritons geysers may last up to a year, driven by the sublimation of about 100 million cubic metres of nitrogen ice.
The only detailed information we have about the surface of Triton is from the Voyager 2 fly-by in 1989, which only imaged one hemisphere of the moon. But the 40% of Tritons surface images by Voyager 2 show icy plains, craters, valleys and ridges, which may be the result of tectonic activity and icy volcanism.
55% of Triton's surface is covered with frozen nitrogen, with water ice comprising 15–35% and dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) forming the remaining 10–20%. The surface also shows deposits of tholins.
It is also believed that an ammonia-rich water ocean exists beneath the icy surface.
As an analysis of the crater density have shown, Tritons surface is very young, with regions varying from an estimated 50 million years old to just an estimated 6 million years old.
Triton is one of the few moons with a thin, but noticeable nitrogen atmosphere, which extends 800 kilometres above its surface. Tritons atmosphere is mainly composed of nitrogen, the two other known components are CH4 and CO. Other possible components of the Triton's atmosphere are argon and neon, but since they were not detected by Voyager 2 their abundances are unlikely to exceed a few percents. Tritons upper atmosphere contains significant amounts of molecular and atomic hydrogen, which is produced by the photolysis of methane.
A few kilometres above the surface, within the troposphere, nitrogen ice particles form clouds in the Moon’s troposphere, which rises to an altitude of about 8 km.
Tritons surface temperature is about 38 K, but it most likely increased by 1 K due to global warming as Triton approaches the southern-hemisphere summer. A season on Triton lasts a little over 40 years, and Triton passed the southern summer solstice in 2000.
