Your kids can do science with Aurora while YOU relax, enjoy, and vacation in paradise! Join me for a summer filled with real science your kids will never forget! This summer, I will be teaching a live, 5-day science camp in San Luis Obispo, California. (San Luis Obispo was recently named the "Happiest City in America") Trying to figure out what to do this summer that's going to be fun for the whole family? Special Bonuses for the First Ten Families who sign up: Total Value: Over $350 of free bonuses if you're one of the FIRST 10 to sign up for Supercharged Science Camp! What ages is Science Camp for? Supercharged Science Camp is open to kids ages 7-12 years. How much does the camp cost? While I personally teach the camp myself, your kids will also be well supported by my team of assistant teachers through every step of every activity. That's less than $18 per hour of camp! NO!! YES! YES!!! What if I change my mind?
Posters Scientific Posters Posters are a special type of presentation. When well designed, they are not simply journal papers pasted onto boards. Nor are they mounted sets of presentation slides. Rather, posters, when effectively designed, are something in between. The purpose of scientific posters is to present work to an audience who is walking through a hallway or exhibit. Figure 1. Figure 2. Figure 3. So then what makes for an effective poster? First, the title of an effective poster should quickly orient the audience. Second, the poster should quickly orient the audience to the subject and purpose. Third, the specific sections such as the results should be easy to locate on the poster.Once readers recognize what the work is, they decide how much energy to invest into the poster. Figure 2 presents a poster that quickly orients the audience to the topic of the work. References Alley, Michael, The Craft of Scientific Presentations, 2nd ed. Lamancusa, John, Jens E.
bj's MST The Most Unforgettable Space Shuttle Pictures Photograph from NASA via Reuters Sitting on a rolling platform, the space shuttle Challenger emerges from the mist at Kennedy Space Center in Florida as it heads toward the launch pad, just visible in the distance, in November 1982. Challenger lifted off on its maiden voyage in April 1983 for the sixth shuttle mission. When the space shuttle Atlantis lands on Thursday, it will wrap up STS-135, the final shuttle mission in the U.S. program's 30-year history. Even with the tragic losses of Challenger and Columbia , the space shuttle has become an icon among U.S. science and technology achievements. "The space shuttle has been with us at the heart and soul of the human spaceflight program for about 30 years, and it's a little sad to see it go away," STS-135 mission commander Christopher Ferguson recently told reporters in a televised interview from the ISS. "It's going to be an emotional moment for a lot of people that dedicated their lives to the shuttle program for 30 years.

Nature's Living Tape Recorders May Be Telling Us Secrets : Krulwich Wonders… Back in the 1930s there was a bird, an Australian bird, who had this thing for a human lady. The lady's name was Mrs. Wilkinson (I couldn't find her first name) and she lived in Australia. So did the bird. It visited her daily for food. Adam Cole/NPR When James the bird decided to woo Mrs. According to those who were there, on one occasion James sang for 43 minutes. These birds are amazing. Chook lived in a cage next to a panda exhibit while it was under construction so presumably that's how he learned to do perfect renditions of hammers, power drills, and car alarms. For example, when the BBC's David Attenborough ran into a lyrebird deep in the Australian woods, the bird not only sang the songs of 20 other forest birds, it also did a perfect imitation of foresters and their chainsaws, who apparently were getting closer. These birds were, in effect, recording the sounds of their own habitat destruction. Are Lyrebirds Accidental Historians? Well, maybe.
