Hard science fiction author Eric Choi talks about the inspiration behind the stories in his new collection.

It's a bit of a playground of the mind to think about what might be possible in in the near future. It's kind of neat to get a little bit of a sneak preview of things that might come to pass in the not too distant future. Follow us on Twitter [@Spacedotcom](https://twitter.com/SPACEdotcom) (opens in new tab) or on The prototypical example of that is Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." I was impressed with the enduring and legacy and the strength with which the memory of Ilan Ramon was being kept alive in Israel. I encompass these aspects of the hard science fiction as well as alternative history, or fantasy, or horror. I was of that generation that wasn't around when the original series aired in the 1960s. What had been on my mind for many, many years, as I'm sure has been on the minds of many people, is could anything have been done to save the crew of STS 107? I was also interested in talking about the nature of exploration, and pushing frontiers. With this technology, we're able to remove one of the most serious impediments of robotic exploration, which is the I think my first memory of that show was this very unfortunate person in a red shirt, who was about to be consumed by some acid secreting creature. In 2009, he was one of the Top 40 finalists (out of 5,351 applicants) in the Canadian Space Agency's astronaut recruitment campaign.

As scientific theory, discovery and understanding clashes with Biblical interpretations of the way the Creation works, often the Church fights back.

This is a satanic lie intended to blind believers into delusional thinking which prevents growth, wisdom, and using the beautiful intellect created by God and called good. Such is how the truth sets us free. Yet, “truth” in this case runs deeper than simply believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Seeking truth is a prayerful spiritual discipline that uses the magnificent intelligence given to all human beings by our Creator to explore, learn, understand, and grow in wisdom—including scientific and academic exploration. The rejection of scientific thought by Christians is not limited to medicine, or the traditional scientific disciples such as physics, biology, or chemistry. As Galileo Galilei, Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Keppler, and countless others learned the hard way, as scientific theory, discovery, and understanding clashes with strict Biblical interpretations of the way the Creation works, often the Church is quick to fight back.

The carbohydrates and plant fibers, which dissolve last, have a bitter flavor, and too much of them can spoil the taste of the final product. [Serious Eats](https://www.seriouseats.com/how-to-make-better-french-press-coffee-tips-technique-grind-timing), the drip and pour-over methods, which expose the coffee grounds to a constant flow of hot water, quickly strip away the tasty compounds and tend to over-extract the flavors. Royal Coffee explains that fruit acids and caffeine dissolve faster than the other compounds in coffee, which is a good thing since they are the most desirable elements. Choosing coarsely-ground coffee is essential to keeping sediment out of your cup, but if you do it right, the finished product will have a full-bodied, sweet flavor that many prefer to other brewing methods. For the most devoted among us, the brewing process is a sacred act. Coffee is more than a beverage.

Dr. Renato Solidum Jr., the new science secretary, is refocusing some of the major programs of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) to align res.

The DOST will continue to offer its resources and expertise in nuclear research as well and provide opportunities for science scholarships up to the Ph.D. The DOST has been preparing R&D initiatives and staff capabilities for the operation of the VIP, Solidum said. The DOST has service R&D institutions that could provide innovative and timely solutions to the challenges faced by the various sectors and areas in the country.

But one can easily imagine that pullbacks and withdrawals will continue on other large scientific projects, if they haven’t already, to the detriment of international relations generally. He is the author of “The Hunting of the Quark” and a co-author of “Tunnel Visions: The Rise and Fall of the Superconducting Super Collider.” [Michael Riordan](http://plunkettlakepress.com/mr.html) is a physicist who writes about science, technology and public policy. But this scientific camaraderie begins to dissolve when one of the participant nations savagely attacks another. That project led to the discovery in 2012 of the In contrast, Russian scientific institutes have toed the Kremlin line — dependent as they are on its continued support. Although English and French dominate conversations in labs, offices and the cafeteria, national differences seem to melt away amid vigorous technical exchanges and good food. CERN was established in a suburb of Geneva in the early 1950s to promote peaceful cooperation among European nations, which had experienced two disastrous wars during the previous 40 years. Part of the rationale for establishing CERN was to promote international understanding among researchers working toward common scientific goals. What’s more, the European Space Agency has excluded Russia from its planned [ExoMars rover project](https://mars.nasa.gov/mars-exploration/missions/esa-exomars-rover/), despite the yearslong delays that will likely result. The current retreat from Russian involvement in these big projects can in this way easily curtail scientific progress — as well as impair international relations more broadly.

Insights gained from the hard landings tree climbing geckos leads to better and controlled perching in robotic aerial vehicles.

“And more broadly, the work by Jusufi and his lab highlights the utility of using bioinspired robots to explore questions in biology in unprecedented ways.” The “fall arresting response” worked well even when the angle and speed of approach changed, demonstrating the versatility of this bio-inspired perching mechanism. “A compliant torso allows the robot to dissipate significant amounts of kinetic energy on impact,” explained Chellapurath, the lead author in this study. “This is especially interesting because it supports the idea that these lizards have potentially evolved to have tails that are the appropriate length for their bodies locomotion capacity,” said Pranav Khandelwal, one of the authors of the study. “I saw the potential of this mechanism in creating multi-modal robots capable of perching in similar settings,” said Jusufi. “Landing on a wall requires integrating multiple sensor streams to control aerodynamic forces to bring the robot in the pitch-up body orientation desired for a dedicated perching maneuver,” he explained.

“It’s not about the answers; it’s about the questions. We know that Brazil nuts act directly in the testicles,” he said, eating a Brazil nut, “increase testosterone levels,” he continued, eating another, “the sperm production,” another, “and probably the libido.” “It’s not just the results; it’s the process,” Bosley said of science. “In science, we learn that all results are a result — even the bad ones,” George/Leonardo said. Only later would she reject the hypothesis that she wanted to join academia, While studying potential counters to the side effects in rats, Parreira fed the rats one Brazil nut a day in hopes of finding evidence that it could combat their erectile dysfunction. “Once I started thinking about education as kind of like a science process, I was hooked,” Uminski told the audience, explaining why she decided to study STEM-based education at Nebraska. But Parreira embedded humor right from the outset, introducing himself with an absurdist bit worthy of “Catch-22.” He showed one to the camera — “Erectile Dysfunction” — told the audience to memorize it, then, like any magician worth a wand, made it disappear. “But then I actually started teaching — and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. “The great scientists, I think, totally embrace and love being proven wrong,” said Jocelyn Bosley, the event’s organizer, co-host and the research impact coordinator with Nebraska’s Office of Research and Economic Development. Others took part from elsewhere in the United States or, in the case of Puerto Rico’s Yarelis Acevedo and Brazil’s Leonardo Parreira, even abroad.

Then you see them learning all of this information and effectively communicating it to the public – it was really exciting.” “We want to bring awareness to the fact that on the research side, we’re really working hard to improve efficiency and the health of the animals,” said Ananda Fontoura, Ph.D. The outreach events were part of an eight-week summer program, funded with the REU grant, for the two SUNY Cortland students to learn about and communicate animal science. “Learning and communicating what you’ve learned is a good way to see if you really know what you’re talking about,” she said. At the Sciencenter event, bringing Sunny the cow, who has a cannula, or porthole, fitted in her side, allowed visitors to see and feel inside her rumen, the first of four chambers of the cow’s digestive system, and to learn about the importance of the cannula as a research tool. ‘20, assistant professor of biological sciences at SUNY Cortland, that sets an additional goal of educating the public about sustainable animal agriculture and dispelling misconceptions about the role science plays.

Throughout the week of this year’s ICARST, leading scientists, engineers and industry professionals will share their ideas in a series of plenary sessions, presentations and panel discussions on how radiation technologies can contribute to addressing various pressing global challenges. “We are trying to make science an instrument for real change,” IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said at the opening of the conference. The first ICARST, held in 2017, discussed key scientific and technological advancements, forged multidisciplinary collaboration and stimulated new initiatives to foster the application of radiation techniques across sectors.

Interested participants must be 18 years and older, live in the Philippines, and have an active TikTok account. “We also see the challenge of translating research [into] something that is more accessible to our citizens. We hope that in this partnership we would be able to share the different technologies that we have,” said DOST-PCIEERD information group head Mark Ivan Roblas.

Some kids are amazing, easily mastering fields of study that most adults struggle to grasp. But not all whiz kids grow up to be special.

Born in 1990 in London to Nigerian immigrant parents, Imafidon was a child prodigy in mathematics, computing and languages (she speaks six). “I never noticed that in maybe 70 percent of my maths A-level exams I was the only girl,” But she’s noticed now — and these days, much of her energy goes toward encouraging diversity in science and tech. Fermi made important discoveries in nuclear physics, of course, but also in geophysics and astrophysics. He also worked on the [Manhattan Project](https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/the-first-atomic-bomb-created-this-forbidden-quasicrystal), which developed nuclear weapons. Four years later, he directed the first nuclear chain reaction in an underground squash court at the University of Chicago. Fermi was mainly known for being both a theorist and an experimentalist — a rare combination. Often, he showed off by making jokes in Classical Greek or reciting from memory a page from the phone book — numbers and addresses included. Born in 1623 and raised in Paris, Pascal’s father taught him at home because he was a sickly child. In 1930, as a young man, von Neumann emigrated to the U.S. Oh, and he also invented the roulette wheel. He was no slouch at math, either.
