This project sounds amazing!! Guys, if you’re into space and hacking/computers/app design/programming/making/tinkering/zippity-zapping then check out the International Space Apps Challenge, via comaniddy:

International Space Apps Challenge

This week’s Science Rap is different

Remember when I rapped about how NASA’s technology has benefits in outer space as well on Earth? What if you had the opportunity to create that technology? This is what the International Space Apps Challenge is all about.

The Space Apps Challenge is a 2 day contest to improve life in Space and on Earth. The challenges are focused in 4 key areas: hardware, software, visualization, and citizen science.

The event takes place April 20-21 in over 75 cities around the world. There are over 50 challenges and you can participate locally or online.

So do you have what it takes to improve the technology we use in space?

How To Be A Scientist

Comaniddy reminds us that it’s as simple as being curious, careful, questioning and … well, human. That’s right, it’s within us all. We’re born that way.

Nurture your inner scientist and no matter if you end up in a lab, a boardroom, a classroom or wherever, you’ll be better for it.

There I go with the science in the underwear again =)Did you get to see last week’s episode of Coma Niddy University? We learn about the anti-microbial properties of silver and it’s possible applications. These applications include hospital surfaces, contraceptives, and your undies.

Nano-silver underwear sounds like something that Superman would wear. And he’d probably smell very fresh.
