"Remember when science was fun? At Genspace it still is. Genspace is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting education in molecular biology for both children and adults. We work inside and outside of traditional settings, providing a safe, supportive environment for training and mentoring in biotechnology."

Conferences provide best opportunities for the different areas delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration. Conferences may be a fun way to learn things and are organized round the year for people to share their idea which they have developed on a particular topic and to get a hang about what others are working on. When it comes to learning about banking and finances, there are seldom better ways than visiting a conference on the same which are being held in various regions of the world. Just go through with our article; it'll help you more.

"The press had a tendency to consistently overestimate [biohackers'] capabilities and underestimate our ethics. We have personal computing, why not personal biotech? That's the question biologist Ellen Jorgensen and her colleagues asked themselves before opening Genspace, a nonprofit DIYbio lab in Brooklyn devoted to citizen science, where amateurs can go and tinker with biotechnology. Far from being a sinister Frankenstein's lab (as some imagined it), Genspace offers a long list of fun, creative and practical uses for DIYbio. Ellen Jorgensen is at the leading edge of the do-it-yourself biotechnology movement, which brings scientific exploration and understanding to the masses"

"I visit a lot of molecular biology labs, and most of them look pretty much identical: lab benches, microscopes, computers, messy break rooms, big filing cabinets crammed into every free corner. When you look closely, though, every lab has its own flavor, its own culture. This is the first post of what I hope will be a fun, photo-heavy series on the culture of different labs. Florian Engert's lab at Harvard is large, colorful, and messy."

"This Disgraceful video was published by the European Commission for a campaign designed to attract more women to a career in science. The commission said that the video had to "speak their language to get their attention" and that it was intended to be "fun, catchy" and strike a chord with young people. "I would encourage everyone to have a look at the wider campaign and the many videos already online of female researchers talking about their jobs and lives," The original video was taken down after it received so many negative comments.

"About the Cafe Cafe Scientifique is a forum for discussing and debating science issues which are of concern to everyone. Our aim is to promote public engagement with science and to foster interesting, fact-based discussions in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Our speakers are scientists or science journalists, ethicists, or related experts from the local community who donate their time to present and discuss their work with the public. We include a range of topics and disciplines. Cafe Scientifique started in France and Great Britain in the late 1990′s, and has now spread all over the world -including Vancouver!"

"Rather, these successful men needed to also be blessed with "zeal and with capacity for hard labour." This study is a first glimpse into those essential qualities described by Galton, helping us map out the individual differences that make it slightly easier for some people to engage in hard labor. These diligent souls seem to get a bit more pleasure from the possibility of reward, but they also seem less sensitive to their inner complainer, that disruptive voice reminding them that minesweeper is more fun than editing, or that the ballgame on television is much more entertaining than their homework. At any given moment, there is a tug of war unfolding in our head, determining whether or not we're willing to put in the effort. This sentence only exists because, for a few minutes at least, I was able to win the war."

Our passion for developing e-learning material for the automotive sector allows us to realize the full potential of what computers and the Internet can achieve. The Electude team is driven by a vision that we must fundamentally change the way people acquire and retain knowledge and skills - by making it fun, effective and efficient.

Back in 1958, Ted Schwarzrock was an 8-year-old third grader when he became one of the "Torrance kids," a group of nearly 400 Minneapolis children who completed a series of creativity tasks newly designed by professor E. Paul Torrance. Schwarzrock still vividly remembers the moment when a psychologist handed him a fire truck and asked, "How could you improve this toy to make it better and more fun to play with?"

"Die Universitäten von heute haben ein Problem: Ihnen gehen die Mythen verloren. Als die Alchemisten früher ihre Säfte zusammenmischten, konnte es knallen oder Gold regnen. Darwin und Humboldt erkundeten eine Welt, in der es überall vor allem zwei Dinge gab: Abenteuer und Gefahr. Heute gibt es keine Kontinente mehr zu entdecken, kein Gold zu destillieren.

Geblieben ist theoretischer Wettstreit: Wer entwickelt eine noch abgefahrenere Theorie? Ein noch besseres Modell? Das ist nicht nichts. Aber etwas fehlt. Bei unserer Arbeit vollbringen wir keine Wunder, keine Narben zeugen von Heldenmut.Vielleicht gibt es deshalb so viele neurotische Profs: Sie müssen den Verlust des Abenteuers in ihrem Forscherleben kompensieren"

"Wenn Gitarristen im Duett musizieren, synchronisiert sich die Aktivität ihrer Hirnwellen. Dies hatten Wissenschaftler um Ulman Lindenberger vom Max-Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung in Berlin bereits 2009 herausgefunden. Jetzt sind die Wissenschaftler einen Schritt weiter gegangen und haben die Hirnaktivität von jeweils zwei Gitarrenspielern untersucht, die ein Musikstück mit zwei unterschiedlichen Stimmen wiedergaben. Hiermit wollten sie herausfinden, ob die Synchronisation der Hirnwellen auch dann zustande kommen würde, wenn die beiden Gitarrenspieler eben nicht genau das Gleiche spielten"

"Temperatur-Sturz in der Antike Wie Nof und seine Kollegen im Journal of Paleolimnology (DOI: 10.1007/s10933-005-1996-1) berichten, kam es in der Region um den See Kinneret - dem biblische See Genezareth bzw. dem Galiläischen Meer - in den letzten 12.000 Jahren wahrscheinlich immer wieder zu überraschenden Eisbildungen. Zwar, so Nof, ist es in der jüngeren Geschichte dort nicht mehr zu solchen Wetter-Phänomenen gekommen. Vor 1500 bis 2500 Jahren, als die Atmosphären-Temperatur mindestens drei Grad niedriger lag als heute, war das aber sehr wahrscheinlich immer wieder der Fall. Die Ursache für die immer wieder auftretende Eisbildung hängt mit Besonderheiten des Galiläischen Meeres zusammen. "
