🧵 During my 1st year away at university, I ended up in a precarious situation at a house party. A group of guys backed me into the deck railing and just as things were about to get worse, 1 guy came out on the deck and said "Hey! We don't do that here. Back off." (cont in next thread)

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Spending time in the presence of one of Ireland's extremely rare ancient trees, like this hulking oak near Bandon with local man Dan Holland, are for me life highlights. But it's always bittersweet, tempered by the knowledge that such stupendous beings were once commonplace. We have lost SO much.

Due to my state's ageing ferry fleet and the lack of federal funding we were stuck on our little island adventure for much longer than anticipated. The Moon had something to say about it. :)

Returning to the Selkie habitat was the right choice. Admiring Venus while the Sun says good night and the Moon has your back, while being nessled betwixt two toothy mountian ranges and the sea air who breathes for you is a welcome luxury.

Smile, it’s Friday! 😃 Meet ‘The Oldest Smile in the World’ a tiny face that’s been smiling for some 7,400 years! Carved from oak during the Mesolithic, this small human figure was found in 1966 in a layer of peat during dock construction at Willemstad in the Netherlands. #FindsFriday #Archaeology

My photo shows a human figure roughly carved from dark brown oak wood during the Mesolithic period about 5,400-5,300 BC. It is 12.5 cm tall with a long body with two finger-shaped indents on the right hand side (left in my photo), suggesting it was made to be held in the hand. The stylized head has deeply carved eyes, nose, and open mouth. The triangular shape of the mouth makes it look as if the figure is smiling, leading to its description as ‘The oldest smile in the world’. It is displayed against a black display case background at Landesmuseum Halle in Germany where the figure is currently on loan for the ‘Shamaness’ exhibition. It is part of the permanent collections of Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Leiden, Netherlands. It was found in a layer of peat in 1966 during the construction of a dock at Willemstad, North Brabant, Netherlands.

Why learn science? Because lots of things can seem like a big scary conspiracy theory when you don’t understand how the world works! Empower yourself by learning about facts and evidence and reality. As a bonus, it’ll lead to a healthier and more prosperous society for others around you.

My linocut on white Japanese paper shows 18th century woman (Laura Bassi) in dress with fur cape, and hair in ringlets with a hairpiece which echoes a laurel crown. She’s holding an open book with Newtonian optics diagrams and in front of her is an electrical machine (a stand with vertical large glass plate and hand crank and brass tubes to channel the large electrostatic charges it could generate through friction). She is surrounded by typical high tech lab equipment of her day like conductors, an aurora flask, a luminous discharge tube, a Lane electrometer, Leyden jars and Volta's electric pistol. It’s printed in a gradient of a hint of turquoise through violet to red-magenta to bronze from the bottom to the top.

The sun sets in the crook between The Brothers, a pair of peaks in the Olympic Mountains. The view is framed by a Seattle street lined with parked cars, trees and power lines, and over the nearby hill of the Magnolia neighborhood.

Physicist Dr. Ursula Franklin helped invent archaeometry--the application of materials science to analyze archaeological artifacts. She used modern physics tools to date/determine the compositions of ancient metals & ceramics to uncover how ancient peoples lived/worked. Born #OTD 1921. #WomenInSTEM

A charming photograph of Dr. Ursula Franklin (1921–2016), the pioneering Canadian experimental physicist, metallurgist, and humanitarian activist. She is positioned slightly off-center against a minimalist, solid slate-blue backdrop. Captured from the chest up, she looks off-camera to the right with a bright, genuine smile that showcases her warmth and sharp intellect. Her short, styled silver-grey hair frames her face, and she wears thin-framed, amber-toned glasses. She is dressed in a crisp, purple-and-white vertically striped button-down shirt. Around her neck hangs a delicate silver chain supporting a striking teardrop-shaped pendant featuring a vibrant orange-red stone or amber setting. The lighting is soft and even, accentuating the fine lines of a long, accomplished life. The clean, professional composition evokes a mood of joyful wisdom, deep dignity, and enduring historical significance, celebrating a legendary woman in STEM.
