China successfully landed a spacecraft on the far side of the moon on Thursday, becoming the first country to ever land on the side of the moon that faces away from Earth, state news media said.
Participants in each workshop worked in groups at their own work stations with mason jars, spices, and water or vinegar as a preservative as they learn how to make their own pickles.
For the second year (that I've been part of), the Columbia Crest Elementary "Summit" program hiked down to the Nisqually River to do water testing in October. We had beautiful autumn weather -- too beautiful, in some ways, as we were swarmed by yellow jackets every few minutes. Nobody got stung, but it kept the young scientists pretty nervous. Still, we got some good science done, monitoring oxygenation, colliform content, pH, and other characteristics of the river that flows down off the adjacent Mount Rainier volcano.

KILKENNY - The annual Science Foundation Ireland Science Summit in Kilkenny. Taking place over two-days (2nd-3rd November) with the theme For Whats Next, the summit provides a platform for 300 members of Irelands research community to discuss Irelands science policy, programmes and progress. Pictured are Joint recipients of the SFI researcher of the year award 2015 - Professor Geraldine Boylan - Professor of Neonatal Physiology and a world-leading expert in newborn brain function and Professor Louise Kenny - Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and a consultant obstetrician & gynaecologist (joint Directors of INFANT).
Construction progress continues.

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.

Our new NASA solar system mission, #Dragonfly, will send a rotocraft-lander to explore Saturn's moon, Titan! Why Titan? This ocean world is unique in the solar system, with organic compounds that could teach us about the origin of life itself.

One of our first outings in Los Angles was to The California Science Center, but more importantly the Samuel Oschin Air and Science Museum to see the space shuttle, Endeavour.
The museum was full of kids on field trips, and Sam was just as excited as they were to see the space shuttle. If not more.
Very impressive museum combining science and its development through modern history. This shows model boats inside arty containers which I thought were begging to be photographed!
Aperture Science Group photo challenge - something you avoid. And that would be cooking. I do not enjoy trying to put together an elaborate meal in the evening after a long day at work, but eating out every night is expensive and tiresome, not to mention just plain bad for my body. I'm trying to strike a balance between what is easy, tasty, and healthy. Judging by the labels, you'd think I was succeeding. All those brand names are so proud of me.
We took Madrigal into our department's Baby Lab to be in her first experiment today! She did great!
She's wearing a NIRS cap - basically, there are little lights that shine into her skull and based on what reflects back to the sensors, they can tell how much oxygen different parts of the brain are consuming, which gives them a picture of which brain areas are most active!
