One more memorable talk from Construct3D: a lady gave a keynote about the houses she and her team is building to put on Mars. Her name is Melodie Yashar. It was nice that one of the keynotes was given by a woman. Any case, they are 3D-printing houses to one day have on Mars. It… Continue reading Construct3D: Mars ice house

The best science artists (according to the European Space Agency)
I am making this list based on certain online sleuthings I made a few months ago. There was an art competition announced ... and it was an art competition that specifically had to do with satellites and climate change.

Fashion for the job
Am I an airhead? Possibly. I say that because a lot of people were murdered or almost murdered in the US last week, based on religion, race, or politics; and I haven't really been that affected emotionally. I think I just have accepted that this is normal. Can't bruise me anymore unless it hits closer… Continue reading Fashion for the job
People and their word
During our wrap-up in Washington DC, we had several interesting panels. One of them was about science videos. I asked two of them afterwards (a person from NPR and a person from PBS) if I could send them some of my science animations to get their feedback. There was a third person there, a lady… Continue reading People and their word
