ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum in Ashland announces an exciting preview of NASA’s upcoming lunar crash landing. NASA will steer the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) into the moon to search for signs of water in a towering plume of dust raised by the crash. The ScienceWorks preview of the impact, illustrated with NASA mission video and new lunar images, will be held October 8th, 7:00-8:00 p.m. in the ScienceWorks auditorium. Admission for the event is free.

A middling scientist here. Am new to Ashland and Connect Ashland. Am actually looking for a hiking group when I stumbled across this group, where I sort of fit in.

I am hoping to get out with nature before winter sets in, and it SNOWS, as I am a Southern California native and have not been in snow since 1973.

Please don't hold being a Californian against me, as I am bringing my retirement money here, and I waited 35 years before I left the Great Southwestern Metropolis to come here and "ruin the environment."

You might recognize me on the street. I am the lady who forgets to stay mindful of pedestrians and hits her head on the roof of her car when the traffic gets delayed more than 2 nanoseconds.

I hope to chill out in the coming months. though. About the pedestrians, I am just joking. I am pretty good about driving slow and watching for people on the street, except for once.

If there are other scientists, I would be interested in hearing what field. I did work as a biochemist, though I was not an investigator.

Well, the wine I made last year has turned to vinegar. The transformation is interesting. Things turn into other things. Things are trying to exist in relation to their environment, where oxygen might be a curse, or a blessing. Death is so weird, because the form that was an individual we knew suddenly becomes inert. It will turn into something unsightly. Maybe some people here can give some ideas we can try to figure out what is the purpose of death. It's not a transformation like wine to vinegar - or is it? What is death all about?

I frequently cite, when contemplating the art of customer persuasion, the first rule of physics, "You cannot push a rope".

From Mr. Green's short but sweet posting: "Even the white-robe, long-haired hippies of the 60s were warning that the 'end is near.'" I'm no historian, but that sounds like Jesus to me. The closer we look at this thing, the further away it gets. ;)

Myles - to address your question about using honey as an antiseptic and the use of honey-soaked wound dressings - you may find this link of interest

Myles - Regarding your question about breakout sessions at the OBA Annual Meeting in Portland last week - activity in these breakout sessions (discussions, networking, potential for collaborative development, etc. being discussed) was so intense that the meeting moderators had a difficult time bringing the sessions to an end in order to move on with the day' scheduled programming. Despite the downturn in the economy, the biosciences are a booming industry in Oregon (esp. up north). Companies and research institutions are busy and HIRING. OBA's training programs are in high demand as companies compete for the best workers they can find to gain a strong competitive edge.

Interns wanted
Science Works Museum is offering a limited number of summer internships for students 14 and older. The internship is 40 hours long, 20 hours per week. Interns assist the teacher at two ScienceWorks summer camps, and schedule their own hours between the dates of June 15 and Aug. 21. Contact Char at 482-6767 ext. 29 or char@scienceworksmuseum.org for more information and an application.

jim - those breakout sessions sound interesting. any more specific reports on any of those? nanomaterials? primate research? genome research? Pharmacokinetics
