She’s 17 years old and calls bullshit at the Rio+20. What do you think of this?
Speaking for the world’s 3 billion children: “Are you here to save face? Or are you here to save us?”
On Wednesday 20 June, 2012 17-year-old Brittany Trilford of Wellington, New Zealand addressed 130 heads of state at the opening plenary of the Rio+20 UN Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This is her speech.
I can’t think of any more human activity than conducting science experiments. Think about it — what do kids do? … They’re turning over rocks, they’re plucking petals off a rose — they’re exploring their environment through experimentation… We explore our environment more than we are compelled to utter poetry when we’re toddlers — we start doing that later. Before that happens, every child is a scientist. And so when I think of science, I think of a truly human activity — something fundamental to our DNA, something that drives curiosity.
—Neil deGrasse Tyson on why the impulse for science is hard-wired in our DNA. (via explore-blog)

The first Artist In Residence at SETI Institute creates haunting alien shapes
The SETI Institute is dedicated to finding extraterrestrial life, so it’s perhaps fitting that SETI’s first Artist In Residence creates art that looks utterly alien. Charles Lindsay, a former photojournalist, has developed a new form of art called CARBON.

Transgenic artwork “GFP Bunny” comprises the creation of a green fluorescent rabbit, the public dialogue generated by the project, and the social integration of the rabbit.
The saying ‘you are what you eat’ is true for these insects as stunning pictures show their abdomens changing colour as they sip on sugar drops.
Father of three Mohamed Babu set up the photographs after his wife, Shameem, showed him some ants had turned white after drinking spilt milk.
He gave the creatures the brightly coloured sugar drops and watched as their transparent stomachs matched the food they were eating.
