Late Friday night, 40 high school girls arrived at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for a STEM-themed sleepover, ready to learn about careers in Science, technology, engineering and math. The educational event offered young women a chance to meet working female scientists and to discover opportunities for women in STEM-related professions.
The teens kicked off the third annual STEM Girls Night In with an astronaut Q&A, talks from female scientists across disciplines and a collection of hands-on activities. The night culminated in a three-hour Mars rover competition and concluded with a late-night showing of “Hidden Figures.”

New eCYBERMISSION Website Coming Soon!
eCYBERMISSION is excited to give you a preview of our new website! It has a comprehensive, visually appealing layout and improves the navigation through our resources to make it easier to access. The redesign will also enhance our online capabilities and position eCYBERMISSION as a leader in the online STEM world.
The new website will launch in summer 2013. In the meantime, check out the sample screenshots and let us know what you think.

Stems formed in 2011 with the idea of seeking a new relationship between experimental guitar and classical instruments, to create music with the energy of rock music but with elongated and intense structures of Western and Indian classical music.
To date the band have released one E.P - The 20 minute long track 'Only When all is broken can the truth be seen' and an album 'POLEMICS'. The artwork of both CD's are translucent layered images printed on tracing paper.
In 2013 they embarked on a successful 15 date tour of Europe to promote the album 'POLEMICS' which further developed their following, based around their passionate and intense live performances.
The name Stems is derived from the idea of roots diverging to produce unique strands, all of which are bound to a central body.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonaria
The lungworts are the genus Pulmonaria of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae, native to Europe and western Asia, with one species (P. mollissima) east to central Asia. According to various estimates there may be between 10 and 18 Pulmonaria species found in the wild, but the taxonomy of this genus is very confusing.
The scientific name Pulmonaria is derived from Latin pulmo (the lung). In the times of sympathetic magic, the spotted oval leaves of P. officinalis were thought to symbolize diseased, ulcerated lungs, and so were used to treat pulmonary infections. The common name in many languages also refers to lungs, as in English "lungwort" and German "Lungenkraut". In some East European languages, the common name is derived from a word for honey, e.g. Russian "medunitza" and Polish "miodunka".
English colloquial names include Lungwort, Soldiers and Sailors, Spotted dog, Joseph and Mary, Jerusalem Cowslip, Bethlehem Sage.
Lungworts are perennial herbs that form clumps or rosettes. They are covered in hairs of varied length and stiffness, and sometimes also bear glands. The underground parts consist of a slowly creeping rhizome with adventitious roots. Flowering stems are unbranched, rough, covered with bristly hairs, usually not exceeding 25–30cm, with a few exceptions (P. mollis, P. vallarsae). The stems are usually upright, or slightly spreading.
The leaves are arranged in rosettes. The blades are usually large, from narrowly lanceolate to oval, with the base ranging from heart shaped to very gradually narrowing, and can have a sharply pointed or blunt tip. Leaf margin is always entire, but in some species and forms can be rather wavy. Basal leaves are carried on stalks that can be short or longer than the leave blade in various species. Stem leaves are smaller and often narrower, and are unstalked or clasping the stem. All leaves are covered with hairs that are usually bristly, or occasionally soft. The leaves are often prominently spotted in black and blue, or sometimes in pale green, or unspotted.
The inflorescence is a terminal scorpioid cyme, with bracts. Lungwort flowers are heterostylous, with two distinct forms of flower within each species; those with short stamens and long styles ("pin" flowers) and those with long stamens and short styles ("thrum" flowers), with the former usually being larger and more showy. The calyx is hairy, 5-lobed, tubular or funnel-shaped, enlarging as the fruit ripens. The corolla is funnel-shaped and consists of a long, cylindrical tube and a limb with five shallow lobes. Within the corolla throat, five tufts of hairs alternate with the stamens to form a ring. The colour of corolla varies from purple, violet or blue to shades of pink and red, or sometimes white. The colour of the flower in bud is often pink, which then changes as the flower matures. The stamens and style are included within the corolla and not protruding.
The nutlets are smooth, egg-shaped, brownish, up to 4.5 mm long and 3 mm wide, each containing a single seed. Up to four nutlets per flower are produced, ripening mostly in summer.
Pulmonaria species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora pulmonariella which feeds exclusively on P. saccharata.

Woody climbing stems of Bramble (Rubus fruticosus agg.) showing backward-pointing spines and axillary buds, about 30 cm long.
The backward-pointing hooked spines help the stem to hold onto twigs and branches as it climbs. Buds can clearly be seen in the axils of the old leaves.
Some of the longer branches eventually arch over and touch the ground. A new plantlet with adventitious roots may then develop at the shoot tip and the plant reproduces vegetatively.

This image shows a general view of a woody climbing stem of Bramble (Rubus fruticosus agg.) in an Ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior).
Some of the longer branches eventually arch over and touch the ground. A new plantlet with adventitious roots may then develop at the shoot tip and the plant reproduces vegetatively.
The stems are approximately 1 m long.
