NASA is funding a 3D food printer, and it’ll start with pizza

NASA is funding research into 3D-printed food. Mechanical engineer Anjan Contractor received a $125,000 grant from the agency to build a prototype 3D printer with the aim of automating food creation. It’s hoped the system could provide astronauts food during long-distance space travel, but its creator has the loftier aim of solving the increasing food shortages around the world by cutting down on waste. The software for the printer will be open-source, while the hardware is based on the open-source RepRap Mendel 3D printer.

We had tons of fun at the annual Pug Crawl here in Portland yesterday. I’ll be sharing photos over the next week or so as I sort through them. The theme was “Night of the Living Pugs” (aka zombies).

So many awesome moments in the Archives today! At the top of the list is this one: Sheree Morgan, Class of ‘88, came in and identified HERSELF on this Archives postcard of two students in a lab! She tells us that she and her friend Annette Owens ‘86 are shown here working on Annette’s thesis project in Chemistry, probably in spring of ‘86. Thank you, Sheree! (Oh, and she also made buttons including one of that lab picture of herself!)

“The way we try to recruit girls into STEM fields is all wrong. We typically compare them to some great woman or someone that has gone before them. We are saying, “Hey, you can be like Madam Curie or Sally Ride.” It is recruiting by intimidation. We need to change that message. We need to recruit by appealing to WHY we need them in STEM. We NEED you to help make the world a better place We NEED you to help discover the cure for cancer. We NEED you because you have the ability to change the course of humanity for the better.”

- Tim Holt on why we still see the number of females in STEM fields fall way behind their male counterparts. Also see how geography paved the way for women in science.

Disgruntled boy: Give me my phone! Are you serious that I can’t have my phone?! Are you for real?! This is ridiculous!

Me: Pretend it’s the ’90s pre cell phones

Disgruntled boy 1 minute later: Can I see your phone so we can go on youtube and listen to “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO?

an interesting segue, but I give him props on his tenacity

Hit The Deck

LIFE opined in 1965, is “the most exhilarating and dangerous joyriding device this side of the hot rod. A two-foot piece of wood or plastic mounted on wheels, it yields to the skillful user the excitements of of skiing or surfing. To the unskilled it gives the effect of having stepped on a banana peel while dashing down the back stairs. It is also a menace to limb and even to life.”

“I gave blood and all I got were these souvenir track marks”… and hopefully added street cred when I work with high schoolers tomorrow and offer no explanation because thugs don’t apologize.

Spring Breakers (2012)

This trailer is brought to you from the official YouTube channel of Selena Gomez and it features a really adorable little send off from the cast in the final seconds. I chose this one because it is sooo super long, and you can really get a feel for the entire movie because chances are: you don’t want to watch this movie.

For a certain kind of person, that would be a mistake. Rachel and I went to go see this at the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square which is a charming venue and had some sort of fancy live event going on simultaneously. Half the audience were older married couples and that half of the audience stormed out halfway through the movie.

As you can guess this is a very provocative film, so I don’t blame people for being provoked. If you can take a step back and admire its tenacity though, it’s also a very well made piece of cinema. Rachel and I talked about it for hours afterwards. It’s so tightly edited, so carefully conceived and really has something to say. If you don’t mind experimental filmmaking, an uncomfortable viewing experience and pop music I would highly recommend giving this movie a try.

Then you can join me and Rachel is whispering “spring break forever bitches” at inopportune moments for the rest of our lives at least. It’s been very amusing.
