Humanoid robots can sprint and box – but the real test is doing the laundry

Athletic feats are impressive, but useful robots must be able to adapt, recover from mistakes and handle the unexpected.

Since Star Trek began sending its crews out to explore strange new worlds 60 years ago, it has both imagined and inspired new concepts for travel across the vast distances of space. theconversation.com/star-trek-us... via @uk.theconversation.com #astrophysics #science #SciChat #StarTrekDay

Star Trek used wormholes to jump through space – what’s the science behind them?

The first appearance of a wormhole in Star Trek was a typically pioneering reference to what was then a niche research topic.

Here's the first of two little things I've made to celebrate 60 years of a television show that became more television shows (plus some movies) and sometimes dropped some nuggets of actual wisdom. Happy #StarTrekDay to all who celebrate. 🖖

A recreation of a classic poster that reads: All I need to know about life I learned from Star Trek Below that is an illustration of the original series Enterprise. And below that is a justified list of quotes and aphorisms divided by delta bullet points. The list reads: • Seek out new life and new civilizations • Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end • There’s no such thing as a Vulcan death grip • Even in fear, you can still step forward • It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life • Never trust a planet that looks exactly like Earth • It’s a long road • There are four lights! • The first duty is to the truth • Go fast! • When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains must be the truth • We are all explorers • It’s difficult to work in groups when you're omnipotent • Sometimes, hope is a choice • Fortune favors the bold • It’s easy to be a saint in paradise • Don't believe in no-win scenarios • We all deserve to belong somewhere • Keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship, and never abandon a member of your crew • Boldly go where no one has gone before!

What dandelions and bees can teach us about our responsibilities to the natural world

In an early childhood program, everyday encounters remind participants that acknowledging land is something we live through relationships and responsibilities.

Marie Zakrzewska was born 197 years ago today. After coming to America from Prussia, she proved herself a dynamo of the nascent women's medical movement, establishing in 1862 the New England Hospital for Women and Children, which she ran for the next 40 years. tinyurl.com/3955u3b3 #WomenInStem ⚕️

Making Women Physicians: Marie Zakrzewska and the Creation of the New England Hospital for Women

I wish to say farewell to all those who thought of me as a friend, to all those who were kind to me, assuring them all that the deep conviction that there can be no further life is an immense rest and...
