girlengineer: 10 Reasons To Never Give Up 1. As long as you are alive, anything is possible. The only valid excuse you have to give up is if you are dead.

infinitesimus: Before Cecilia Payne was inspired by Arthur Eddington and his solar eclipse test for Einsteins general theory of relativity, the common thought was that the Sun and other stars were mostly composed of as much as 65% Iron and 35% Hydrogen. During her own observations of the Sun, she found evidence for a vastly different composition however, with Hydrogen and Helium the dominant...

The shocking truth about the crackdown on Occupy →
velocicrafter: The inflated fees to lawmakers who turn lobbyists are common knowledge, but the notion that congressmen and women are legislating their own companies’ profitsis less widely known – and if the books were to be opened, they would surely reveal corruption on a Wall Street spectrum. Indeed, we do already know that congresspeople are massively profiting from trading on non-public...

a bag full of God: basics of evolution  →
golehyas: I’m not super well-versed in any subject, but I think in the initial throes of academia, it’s nice to have a light understanding of most subjects because the methods of thinking and factual knowledge build upon one another. Here are some fundamentals/misconceptions I gathered as to evolution and genetics in university. The “theory” of evolution The concept of “theory” is something...

kickass vegan thanksgiving dinner!!!  My dad loved everything and he’s a pretty harsh critic - I’ve heard him say my food “sounds weird,” “smells weird,” or “tastes weird.” I was super psyched that him and everyone else enjoyed some vegan goodness.  Food porn pics coming…

yayyme replied to your post: not through force, but through persistence. Love potatoesss!! :):) If you like spicy stuff, try Indian Veg cuisine :) I haven’t experimented a lot with Indian food, what do you recommend?  I’ve made naan and different variations of dahl, but that’s about it.

I am craving a white chocolate + peppermint latte, but there are no Starbucks between here and work. To make things worse, there is a serious lack of quality coffee joints to this particular point B.  McDonald’s or a gas station are my choices…le sigh.  *grumble*
