At home, Where is M13? Using paired face-on and edge-on views, the Galaxy View shows you where that cluster or nebula is actually located relative to the center and plane of the Galaxy, providing a unique 3-D perspective. Below the paired views, the Object List provides important physical information about the objects. The Sky View shows you where the objects are found in the night sky, using a star map plotted in galactic coordinates. Where is M13? Where is M13?
Before I Die What matters most to you Interactive public art project that invites people to share their personal aspirations in public. After losing someone she loved and falling into depression, Chang created this experiment on an abandoned house in her neighborhood to create an anonymous place to help restore perspective and share intimately with her neighbors. The project gained global attention and thanks to passionate people around the world, over 1000 Before I Die walls have now been created in over 70 countries, including Kazakhstan, Iraq, Haiti, China, Ukraine, Portugal, Japan, Denmark, Argentina, and South Africa. The walls are an honest mess of the longing, pain, joy, insecurity, gratitude, fear, and wonder you find in every community, and they reimagine public spaces that nurture honesty, vulnerability, trust and understanding. The Before I Die book is a celebration of these walls and the stories behind them. 2011, New Orleans, LA. Cordoba, Argentina. Najaf, Iraq. Brooklyn, NY.
Creativity and Learning: A Conversation with Lynda Barry - Today's talk is actually going to focus on the importance of the arts, and how it fosters empathy, and I don't have a formal bio written, a lot of you here are her fans and that's why you're here, she's not only a cartoonist, a renowned cartoonist, but she's written a lot of books about creativity and, initiated a lot of processes that help people unlock their creativity and their voice, finding their artistic voice, so it's really an honor to have you here, Lynda, do come up, and give Lynda a big welcome! (laughs) So, for people who are not going to get to your lecture tonight, and I assume that a few of you are here, can you give us a really short synopsis of what you are going to talk about there? Now she's 40, too freaked out to draw, nobody's worried at all. - And you were talking to me about the importance of doodling, can you describe how you see the effect of being more connected with your artistic side and what impact that would have if we were better connected? Computers!
Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources Inspirational Words of Wisdom, Knowledge & Philosophy Resource | Knowledge Reform.com CRISPR Targets Cancer in First Human Trial — What You Need to Know It’s happening: as early as later this year, the gene-editing power tool CRISPR could be used in its first ever human trial. On Tuesday June 21, an advisory panel from the National Institute of Health (NIH) green lighted a proposal to use the game changing technique to tackle three different kinds of cancer. Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), who are spearheading the small trial, hope to use the technique to edit genes in a patient’s own immune cells, reprogramming them to recognize and attack cancer at the first signs of growth. In an eyebrow-raising twist, the trial is funded by former Facebook president Sean Parker. Earlier this year, Parker announced a $250 million foundation aimed at uniting immunotherapy researchers to “solve cancer.” But it’s not yet all systems go. The news has taken the scientific community by storm. The trial is designed to test whether CRISPR is safe to use in humans, rather than its effectiveness for treating cancer per se. The Science
Electromagnetic Spectrum - Introduction The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the range of all types of EM radiation. Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it goes – the visible light that comes from a lamp in your house and the radio waves that come from a radio station are two types of electromagnetic radiation. The other types of EM radiation that make up the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma-rays. You know more about the electromagnetic spectrum than you may think. The image below shows where you might encounter each portion of the EM spectrum in your day-to-day life. The electromagnetic spectrum from lowest energy/longest wavelength (at the top) to highest energy/shortest wavelength (at the bottom). Radio: Your radio captures radio waves emitted by radio stations, bringing your favorite tunes. Microwave: Microwave radiation will cook your popcorn in just a few minutes, but is also used by astronomers to learn about the structure of nearby galaxies.

”Desinformation sprids som en löpeld” Vissa forskare ger en onyanserad och överdriven bild av sina fynd. Emma Frans, vem är du? – Jag är doktor i epidemiologi och forskar inom psykiatri och läkemedelsepidemiologi vid University of Oxford och Karolinska Institutet. – Som epidemiolog är jag inte expert på ett särskilt organ eller en särskild sjukdom. I sommar granskar du vetenskapssnackisar och påståenden i SvD:s Vetenskapskollen. – Jag anser att granskning av vetenskapliga påståenden behövs mer än någonsin eftersom vi lever i en tid av så kallad ”faktaresistens”. Stäng CHEFREDAKTÖRENS NYHETSBREV – veckans bästa journalistik från SvD direkt i mejlkorgen Anmäl dig här – I ett nytt medielandskap där sociala medier och etablerade medier samverkar i ett allt snabbare tempo har källkritik och publicistisk eftertanke alltmer fått stryka på foten. Vilken är din ambition med Vetenskapskollen? – Min förhoppning är att läsare ska känna sig lite klokare efter att ha läst mina texter. Vetenskapskollar
