"this organic star dust is similar in structure to complex organic compounds found in meteorites. Since meteorites are remnants of the early Solar System, the findings raise the possibility that stars enriched the early Solar System with organic compounds. The early Earth was subjected to severe bombardments by comets and asteroids, which potentially could have carried organic star dust. Whether these delivered organic compounds played any role in the development of life on Earth remains an open question."

Established in 1929 by 99 women pilots to provide mutual support and advancement of aviation, The Ninety-Nines Organization of Women Pilots has continued and expanded that mission. Today, the organization promotes world fellowship through flight, provides networking and scholarship opportunities for women and aviation education in the community and preserves the unique history of women in aviation.

EAA - growing and diverse organization of members with a wide range of aviation interests and backgrounds. founded in 1953 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, interested in building their own airplanes. the organization expanded to include antiques, classics, warbirds, aerobatic aircraft, ultralights, helicopters, and contemporary manufactured aircraft.

a fun group of aviation enthusiasts of all ages and from all walks of life. Our organization consists of students, balloonists, enthusiasts, pilots, instructors, FAA examiners, and just "plane" folk who are crazy about aviation. Women with Wings (WWW) gatherings are a time when we share our mutual enthusiasm for aviation and spread the word about special aviation-related tours and outreach events.

"Project-Based Learning, by definition, is flexible. It encourages learner-centeredness, provides the possibility of more authentic work, and allows learners to self-manage and self-direct in places they used to have their hands held. But this has its drawbacks. Learning is a capacity-building endeavor that seeks to, well, build capacity will ironically depending on that same capacity to progress,"

"All magnetic fields are produced by moving or spinning charged particles…somewhere Magnetism is a force in nature that is produced by electric fields in motion. This movement can involve electrons 'spinning' around atomic nuclei, flowing through a conducting wire, or ions moving through space in an organized stream. The remarkable thing is that whenever a charged particle moves, the electric field it produces is also moving through space, and it is this moving electric field that is detected as a magnetic field.

" several new opportunities to get involved in research including one we are sending to the International Space Station in September! Join us and the Science Cheerleaders (NFL and NBA cheerleaders who are also scientists and engineers) to collect microbes from sports stadiums which we will send to UCDavis for analysis. Forty samples will be sent to the ISS and compared to the microbes astronauts find up there! Announcing the finalists and winners of the SciStarter Citizen Science Contest presented by Instructables and Discover Magazine! Check out the nifty solutions this DIY community came up with to help solve some real challenges presented by citizen science project organizers"

"Environmental engineering is the integration of science and engineering principles to improve the natural environment (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation (house or home) and for other organisms, and to remediate pollution sites. Further more it is concerned with finding plausible solutions in the field of public health, such arthropod-borne diseases, implementing law which promote adequate sanitation in urban, rural and recreational areas. It involves waste water management and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, radiation protection, industrial hygiene, environmental sustainability, and public health issues as well as a knowledge of environmental engineering law. It also includes studies on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects."

"Aquatic and environmental engineering; an engineering topic, used sometimes as a synonym for Civil engineering. It is the application of science and engineering principles to improving the environment (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthful water, air and land for human habitation and for other organisms, and to investigate the possibilities for remediation of polluted sites. Negative environmental effects can be decreased and controlled through public education, conservation, regulations, and the application of good engineering practices. "
