Reposted from @iss - Our first all-female spacewalk with astronauts Christina Koch (left) 👩🏻🚀 and Jessica Meir 👩🏻🚀 will be Thursday or Friday to replace a faulty battery charge-discharge unit. We’ll have a telecon later today.

Reptiles and things...this is the Titanoboa! They are calling this one of the greatest discoveries since the T-Rex! Discovered in a Colombian coal mine, its believed to have lived 59 million years ago, was 49 feet long, two feet wide, and weighed 2,500 lbs! Check out this awesome site from the Smithsonian Channel and learn more about the Titanoboa (there's even a cool Monster Snake Game there too!) Have FUN!: http://bit.ly/19sXMjB (p.s. I had my feet up while I was typing that...does anyone else get the HEEBIE-JEEBIES when it comes to snakes?)
#TodayInSTEM, French chemist Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin was born in 1763. Vauquelin discovered the elements chromium (Cr) and beryllium (Be). Chromium is a hard, silvery metal used to make stainless steel. Beryllium is used in gears and cogs, particularly in aeroplanes.

Check out the latest Martin Jetpack prototype P12 – doesn’t it look awesome! The Martin Jetpack can take off from a small space, so is easy to deploy anywhere. It is easy to learn to fly, has an automated hover function, and is expected to be able to be flown in reasonable weather conditions.

Wear Your Chromosomes: Jewelry Collection Made from 3D Prints of Microscopy Data
The X and Y-chromosomes found in humans are now wearable. Electron microscopist, Louise Hughes, has created a jewelry collection designed to mirror the look and shape of human chromosomes. Hughes designs every piece from microscopy data and produces it using 3D printing technology. Having already used the structures of organisms to create other jewelry pieces, Hughes felt she could not leave out the essential DNA and chromosomes. The 46 chromosomes found in our cells have never before been so beautifully displayed and worn.
As humans the genes in our DNA, as well as our environment, come to define us. When cells divide, chromosomes compress and form distinct shapes. Those shapes are what inspire the jewelry pieces made by Hughes. Male chromosomes, X and Y, female chromosomes, X and X and the triplet 21st chromosome that causes Down’s syndrome are all replicated in the human chromosome jewelry line. From rings and pendants, to earrings and cufflinks, the stainless steel, bronze, and silver pieces are available in both, karyotpye 1 or 2 structural designs. It has been said that art imitates life and with the human chromosome jewelry designs by Louise Hughes, art is literally replicates life.

Academics in a Box Inc. was founded to inspire in students a desire to learn more about the sciences and humanities. Our products aim to allow students a new way to experience the beauty, poetry, and wonder of our universe through hands-on experience. Our foundation is based on the ideas that by “doing” and “experiencing,” students are more motivated to become inquisitive about the world around them. It’s this curiosity and creative thinking that are at the heart of developing a love of learning. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is used as a guide to ensure that our products supplement the learning that takes place in the classroom. We aim to take students beyond simple memorization of facts and figures by helping them gain a better understanding of significant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practice and application, as well as gain a deeper appreciation of the materials they are presented with.
