NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Visitor Center in Greenbelt, Md. hosted a special Webb Family Science Night on Wednesday, July 25, 2012.
Participants partook in hands-on activities to see what light looks like after it passes through lenses. By putting one lens in front of another, they made a telescope. Although Webb is not a telescope that will use a lens to collect its light, participants were able to build a telescope of similar ability to that of Galileo’s.
This special Webb Family Science Night was a hands-on and inquiry-based program designed for middle school students and their families, intended to increase STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) engagement, interest, and understanding. The Webb Family Science Night was a collaboration between NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Goddard’s Office of Education. The educational materials supporting this event were donated by SPIE – the International Society for Photonics and Optics.

Jefferson Science Fellow talks birds and brains with Canadian scientists and students.
21-22 May 2009: Calgary / Lethbridge
Cornell University neurobiology professor Timothy DeVoogd, the State Department's 2008/09 Jefferson Science Fellow, visited Alberta to meet with senior academics at the University of Calgary's Hotchkiss Brain Institute and the University of Lethbridge's Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neurobiology. Dr. DeVoogd discussed the potential for scientific collaborations with his Canadian peers, toured research and teaching facilities, and gave two lectures on his research into how birds learn to sing and what this can tell us about the human brain. Dr. DeVoogd's visit fostered new ties with Canadian scientists, researchers and students and engaged them in discussions around how the U.S. and Canada can deepen their cooperation in the fields of science and technology.
The Middle School Science Fair was held on May 28 in the Great Hall of the Center for Well-Being. The exhibits ranged from a lava lamp and lemon battery to a water powered grist mill and a study on which brand of diaper is most absorbent.

Emily's science homework was to bring into school something edible that represented a single cell. She baked sugar cookies and frosted them. The walnut is the nucleus. The chocolate chip is the mitochondria. The licorce is the endoplasmic reticulum. The pepermint piece is a vacuole, and the three nerds are ribosomes.
She loves to bake so she made enough for her whole class.
I had to take a picture of it on Pyrex, of course!

Scientists aim to understand the nuclear reactions that power star explosions by using sensitive detectors to track the energy and movement of charged particles as they emerge from nuclear reactions controlled in the laboratory. In this photograph, ORNL Liane B. Russell Fellow Kelly Chipps connects a detector for testing inside of a vacuum chamber before its eventual use in a nuclear reaction measurement.
Brookhaven National Laboratory Linear Accelerator (LINAC) was designed and built in the late 1960's as a major upgrade to the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) complex.
Its purpose is to provide accelerated protons for use at AGS facilities and the Brookhaven Linac Isotope Producer (BLIP). The Linac is capable of producing up to a 35 milliampere proton beam at energies up to 200 million electron-volts (MeV) for injection into the AGS Booster or for the activation of targets at the BLIP.
