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 School of Sciences at Stevenson University hosted a research poster session on January 16, 2014 to display the work students did on their various topics. Students, faculty, staff and visitors were able to see the great work Stevenson's students do to further their education
A scale model of the Exeter Science Park. The stuff I get asked to photograph for work gets weirder and weirder.

Julian Franklin brought another exciting program to the library. His Science Magic Show was a big hit!
I can't count the number of hours I spent in this building working on Comp Sci projects late at night. I think the pizza buy eventually learned the code to get in the door to our lab.

The Deutsches Museum is the world's largest museum of science and technology, with about 28,000 exhibited objects from 50 fields of science and technology. It receives about 1.5 million visitors per year.
It was a very interesting time here.
While crunching through dry leaves and waiting for the results from "finch cam" my 5 year old daughter grabbed the biggest dry brown leaf she could find, and declared that she was going inside to find a magnifying glass so she could set it on fire.
Didn't do a superb job of capturing all this fun, mainly because I was also trying to keep her from setting her own hair on fire. Most of the pictures with her in them didn't show the magnifying glass very clearly, so I combined two shots to try to tell the story better.
Construction continues on the Powerhouse Science Center with some interior progress photos.

The Hidden Secrets of Epidemics & Evolution
From disease-causing bugs to humankind itself, evolution is the steamtrain of life! Uncovering the secrets behind how bacteria and humans have evolved enables scientists to improve our day to day lives. Join us as we explore the early human art scene, learn how diseases can spread through a population, and find out how evolution takes place

Life is merely a complex chemical system that tries to sustain itself. The ability to sufficiently convert chemical compounds to the others is a foundation of life. Enzymes are molecular machineries that enable these chemical conversions in all living systems. The sophisticated mechanisms of enzymes are the product of millions of years of evolution. We can accelerate and direct this process in laboratories to tailor the properties of enzymes. I will discuss how we can harness the power of evolution to engineer enzymes with unprecedented activities.
The Outbreak Breakout!
Wirichada Pan-ngum (Pongtavornpinyo) and Lisa White (MORU)
Imagine there’s disease outbreak coming and you could play out every scenario before it happens. Understand how a disease epidemic occurs and spreads. Think about how to control or prevent it. You can do it with a balls and hoops game you can play yourselves.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Elephants: The unseen cave paintings of Southeast Asia
Noel Hidalgo Tan (SEAMEO SPAFA)
Step into the world of rock art - filled with carvings of gods, cave paintings and reminders of humankind's long interaction with the landscape. Like the landscapes of Australia and South Africa, Southeast Asia is home to hundreds of rock art sites even as most of them are unknown or inaccessible. What have archaeologists learned about the past through these ancient images?!
