If Dr. Seuss created Star Wars. by Jason Peltz via @ThinkGeek
I can’t even.
Get in my childhood, you epic books!
THIS.
When Carl Sagan first spoke of the cosmos, he helped people wrap their brains around the idea through digestible facts, like “the nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars.” But it’s thought-provoking insights like “We are made of star stuff” that continue to create curiosity in this field.
In a time when people have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Neil deGrasse Tyson is another profound storyteller who can spark imaginations. As he tells the story of his calling to study the universe, you can’t help but feel something. Some would call it spiritual, others would call it religious and some would point to a connection with the universe. Whichever it maybe is for each person to determine. But what I can say is that this is quite possibly “The Greatest Science Sermon” ever.

One of my most favorite men. And my most favorite videos.
One of my favorite quotes.
Yes! One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is how to get used to being lonely(in the best possible way! I would have said love….but let’s face it, loving being lonely? I wouldn’t go that far).

The Fibonacci Sequence As Seen in Flowers gallery by Environmental Graffiti is a math and history lesson wrapped in a pretty package of flowers.
I am obsessed with Fibonacci Sequences, even if I don’t completely understand the math. And look! Pretty flowers!

It’s been almost a year and a half since I visited the Jenny McCarthy Body Count. In that time, it looks like over 250 unnecessary vaccine-preventable deaths and over 20,000 illnesses have occurred because of Jenny and her ilk spreading brain-meltingly frustrating misinformation about the safety of vaccines.
Sure, she’s not the only guilty one, but she’s the leader of a dangerous movement that’s still quite active today.
This from a woman whose website has the following headline up today: 21 Benefits of Enzymes and Why You Need Them … oh I dunno, maybe to complete basic biological functions and literally BE ALIVE?!?!
A society that cares about science more will be a society that cares less about Jenny McCarthy. Keep up the good fight, and keep sharing science with your friends. Someone’s life may depend on it.

This breaks my heart a little bit.
Juan Gatti is known as a commercial photographer and graphic designer, but he also created 25 collages that mix human anatomy with exotic flora and fauna. The pieces shown above are from his ‘de ciencias naturales’ collection, which was displayed last year in a Madrid gallery.

FUCK. YES.
