Ever wanted to jumpkick Isaac Newton as Albert Einstein? 

Science Kombat lets you do just that.

As you can see by these profiles, a universal constant amongst science ladies is a need for hairties.

What better way to celebrate Women’s History Month than by celebrating these amazing and accomplished women of science, brought to you by Lauren Goldberg (aka Auberg Designs on Etsy). 

Each necklace sports the profile (or cameo) of a different woman who pioneered science in her own way. Available in silver, copper, or bronze with different finishes. So many phenomenal women, I can’t choose just one! 

Annie Jump Cannon - astronomer

Caroline Herschel - astronomer

Heddy Lamar - inventor/actress

Ada Lovelace - programmer

Grace Hopper - programmer

Jane Goodall - primatologist

Marie Curie - chemist/physicist

Hypatia of Alexandria - mathematician

Sophie Germain - mathematician

Sally Ride - astronaut

Maud Menten - chemist

Lisa Meitner - physicist

BONUS: In honor of Women’s History Month, they are all on sale through the end of March.

Planet Saturn, observed by the Cassini space probe on March 16, 2016.

It’s not technically science but I’m pretty proud of our creation. Behold, the Periodic Table of Cookies! (Bell peppers for obscuring identifying info.)

In this video lichtenburg figures are burned into wood using a microwave oven transformer. The results are spectacular. (Video) Facebook | Instagram | Scary Story Site

Four evenings a year, the setting sun aligns perfectly with Manhattan’s street grid, creating a breathtaking wash of illumination along the cross streets, and tonight is one of them! In this video, Frederick P. Rose Hayden Planetarium Director Neil deGrasse Tyson, who first noted the phenomenon more than a decade ago and coined the term “Manhattanhenge,” explains the phenomenon.

Girls and young women should be exposed more to S.T.E.M. fields. They should have guidance from dedicated and exceptional role models.

Black Bread Mold

The above images show the sporangium (fruiting bodies) of the bread mold, Rhizopus Stolonifer, growing on the surface of bread.

Spores circulate freely in the air. On a favorable medium, they germinate a network of hyphae (threads). Their function is to absorb food for growth & for spore production. Rhizopus produces stolons, or aerial hyphae, which on contact with the medium grow rhizoids or ‘rootlets’. They anchor the fungus & absorb some water. Spores develop in saclike bodies, or sporangia (globular structure). They are carried at the ends of specialized hyphae called sporangiophores.

Rhizopus sp. are generally saprophytic, feeding on decaying animal and plant matter. However they can also be parasitic, feeding on living plants, animals and even humans.
