Super excited to announce that +Popular Science has launched #CrowdGrant : a crowdfunding partnership with +RocketHub to make your brilliant, world-changing project ideas a reality.
See http://popsci.com/crowdgrant for details. You have until June 15 to submit (which you can do here: http://www.rockethub.com/partners/popularscience/).
So, what are you waiting for? Those liquid nitrogen-powered ice cream trucks, DIY biology labs, swimmer-rescuing drones, and petsitting robots won't build themselves...

My little 3am project last night. If you haven't seen these Russian meteorite movies yet, for the love of Zeus stop what you're doing and check 'em out!

Here's my +ScienceOnline wrap up of sorts. I was thinking on my flights home about the extreme melancholy we all feel (and tweet about) leaving this conference. And, being a writer, I started compiling my thoughts. Perhaps because I was overtired beyond all reason my thoughts quickly turned into a rant, and a very personal one at that. But it's also an honest rant, so I thought I'd share it without the benefit of editing after a solid 10 hours sleep.
Science Online was terrifying last year because I didn’t know anyone and didn’t really know what to do. This year I was more prepared, but also more terrified because more people know who I am. I missed the session on the Impostor Complex, but seeing the tweets and talking about it afterwards I immediately recognized that as my issue.
I was totally unprepared to find out that a lot of people know who I am. And peopl... more »

Don't know who crafted this sciencey animated GIF featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson, but... Happy to report being an awed bystander in the background. Via Derek Rust.

I have issues 1-100 in some dark, forgotten corner of my parent's basement. Unless they threw them out. Which is entirely possible. But for the sake of nostalgia, let's not think about that.

A little late to the G+ world, but what the hey.
The good news: A lot of movies in 2012 attracted hordes of people to the theater with the promise of science. (Science sells, woo!)
The bad news: Most of them rubbed me the wrong nerdy way. So I dug around for and researched what, exactly, the films got wrong and the egregiousness of their mistakes.
This +Popular Science gallery = the result. Apologies for not including everything -- I see oodles of science violations I left out -- but readers can stand only so much bitching (and I can stand to bitch only so much without writing an encyclopedic volume).

Behold! The last episode I hosted for The Countdown, +Scientific American's super-duper fun space show.
What a great gig, but +Popular Science stole me away to their team. (Talked about mixed emotions...)
Anyway, enjoy!

The Countdown, Episode 3!
Please ignore the fact that I call James T. Kirk William T. Kirk. Yes, I grew up on Star Trek, but my brain put William Shatner + James T. Kirk together... oof!

Thanks to everyone who created and came to our Curiosity hangout!
Now that I have a moment, I want to thank everyone who came to our Hangout last night. I know at one point we had 7000 people watching. It's incredible how a distant event on another planet can draw people on Earth together.
I also want to give out a special thanks to my friends +Fraser Cain and +Pamela Gay for organizing the Hangout and doing such a great job on air, and of course to all the guests like +Emily Lakdawalla, +Amy Shira Teitel, +Ian O'Neill, +Dave Mosher, Jill Tarter, and more.
If you want to watch, the Hangout is archived on YouTube, too: Virtual Landing Party for the Curiosity Lander

To celebrate the landing of NASA's Curiosity Rover - the Mars Science Laboratory - we'll be running a special live hangout.
In conjunction with +CosmoQuest. We'll have all your favorite space/astronomy journalists on hand to discuss the mission in depth, and celebrate the landing live, when it happens.
Over the course of this 4-hour Google+ Hangout on Air, we'll interview members of the Curiosity team live in the hangout, as well as other special guests from the +The Planetary Society and the +SETI Institute.
+Scott Lewis and +Amy Shira Teitel will be on location at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to interview members of the engineering team, and show you what it's like to be at NASA during this amazing moment.
We'll update this event as we lock down more of the guests and participants. See you there! You can follow the hashtag #m... more »

NASA's only nuclear test reactor is gone now, but you can still take a tour. (Half are archival photos, and half are photos I took during a Nov. 2011 visit.)

You've got to hand it to Kristian von Bengtson, Peter Madsen and the volunteer army that is Copenhagen Suborbitals.
Even if they're still years away from sending someone to the edge of space, they're getting titillatingly close -- all on a shoestring budget.
My latest for +WIRED.

Question: You need a chemistry set for 10- to 12-year-olds. What is the absolutely essential glassware, hardware, reagents, etc. for a starter kit?
Answer: [fill in the blank]
Ideas to get you started: graduated cylinder, Erlenmeyer flask, beaker, copper sulfate...

Plant nerds - a question!
What is this plant?
I inherited it and I'm trying to find proper care guidelines. (I want to be a good plant daddy.)

This "ghost dragon" pterosaur lived about 120 million years ago.
Thankfully for all of us freaked out by big nasty pointy teeth, it's long dead.
Whew!

Observation 1: Every Manhattan-based Scientology outpost I've walked by in the past 15 minutes (on the way to dinner) has at least one police cruiser lurking nearby.
Observation 2: What a crime.

New bill to block open access to publicly-funded research
The Research Works Act (HR 3699) is a new bill to repeal the open-access policy at the NIH and block similar policies at other federal agencies. Co-sponsored by Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), it was introduced on December 16, 2011, and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The main section (Section 2) is brief: "No Federal agency may adopt, implement, maintain, continue, or otherwise engage in any policy, program, or other activity that -- (1) causes, permits, or authorizes network dissemination of any private-sector research work without the prior consent of the publisher of such work; or (2) requires that any actual or prospective author, or the employer of such an actual or prospective author, assent to network dissemination of a private-sector research work."... more »

Holiday leftover in the +WIRED NYC office:
Hip Swinging Santa.

May his sickly batteries remain forever in his feet.

Remember that Time Hack project? You know, the one highlighted on +Boing Boing by +Mark Frauenfelder? (Link: http://boingboing.net/2011/01/17/attempting-to-prolon.html)
It's over! (NOOooo...)
Lamentations aside, huge congrats to my good pal +Matt Danzico on following through. Super proud of him, and super jealous of the perceived extension of his life :)

What is a science equation everyone should know? (Obviously, E=mc^2 is one.)
Put your thinking caps on. 3... 2... 1... GO!

Ok, planet Google:
What are some popular books you've heard of that were written in less than 1 month? E.g. Kerouac's On the Road (a few days?) or A Clockwork Orange (a few weeks?).
You'll probably think, "Well what about editing? And is that just the first draft? And what about..."
No. Stop. You're overthinking it.
Again, just popular books rumored to have a stunningly short genesis (the technicalities be damned!).

Need a vertebrate paleontologist and/or evolutionary biologist to speak with for a story -- and fast. Like, now.
Preferably someone who knows a thing or two about Pleistocene cats. (Meow!)
Please hit me up as soon as you see this: dave @ davemosher . com
EDIT: Actually, nevermind -- just got two phone calls. Thanks for the reshares, +Andrew David Thaler + +Liz Neeley!
