09-12-12 – She Blinded Me With Science!

“In action” does not require kinetic action, I hope.
This one’s relatively open, no?

Plants are photosynthesizing, the sun emits various elements on the visible and invisible spectrum, water equals hydraulics, etc…

Before I get too into preepping for this, what’s the ruling on animals? Only wild, or just alive?

Also, what about the social sciences? Can I use archeological remains? What about pics related to sociology or anthropology?

rav’s right – science is in the eye of the beholder, or photographer in this case. If you think it’ll fly with the voters, go for it. I only ask that if it’s not somewhat obvious that a little explanation is provided.

I’ve been drawing a blank and just now realized that I should have taken photos of the gold Assay in the mining museum I visited this week, doh! I have one idea but I’m not sure if I’ll have time to set up my lead melting pot.

Question for the mods: “Screen captures are not acceptable”. However, I have a microscope (this one http://www.amazon.com/Carson-Digital-Microscope-Binoculars-Microscopes/dp/B004MNF4BQ/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1347119530&sr=8-6&keywords=zpix that displays a magnified view on-screen, and can be captured with a mouse. So not a screen capture like the PrtSc button (it’s a live-view, captured digitally in the moment), but alson not a camera in the ‘normal’ sense of the word (DSLR, P/S, iPhone).

In or out. I haven’t used it yet; might gift it out, don’t want to open it if it’s definitely ‘out.’

Gift it out? That’s a treat of a toy!

If you don’t know a 12-year-old who’d use it into the ground, let me get dibs in before orionid.

My dad was a science teacher for decades, and would sometimes bring home lab equipment (like microscopes) to play with. If science didn’t need so damn much math, my life’s course may have been way different.

Personally I’d be ok with allowing it but I’d say wait to see if anyone else has an opinion.

I am also ok with this idea Rav

If science didn’t need so damn much math, my life’s course may have been way different.

You could have majored in one of those fluffy sciences (like the ones that end in -ology) where they’re mostly concerned with naming things: biology, geology, zoology, cryptology, Egyptology, physiology, psychology, sociology, Farkology,… Ok, maybe not cryptology.

Hope y’all are faring better than me…

nope…
