I Was On The Balcony Trying To Cool Off Early This Afternoon When I Noticed 2 Planes Flying In Formation.

Brian Greene asks and answers: "How to Make Science Great Again? Make it accessible..." Science is already quite accessible - for those who understand the very basics. The problem with many of the conventional solutions proposed is that they make the assumption people understand basic science, at least at a grade 9 or 10 level. Sadly most don't even have this level of knowledge, and more importantly, they lack the understanding and comprehension of what they have been taught. They may have their school grades, but they don't understand how it applies to the real world or how the scientific method works. Most don't even care about their ignorance. Until we fix fundamental science education and the apathy towards science, we'll never get beyond the ignorance of the general population. #BrianGreene #science #scienceeducation #makesciencegreatagain #MSGA #MAGA #dumbingdownofamerica #dumbingdownoftheworld #dumbingdownofcanada #scienceisamazing #scienceisempowering (at Planet Earth)

Thunderstorm over Hamilton just after the Art Crawl finished. Good timing. Hopefully all the artists got their wares safely packed away and everyone got home without difficulty. #hamont #artcrawl #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl #thunderstorm #lightning (at Hamilton's Mountain)

Devil's Punchbowl Falls. I figured after all the rain from the last few days, these falls would be fairly active (they were). I used my cell phone for these shots and video. Last image is lower Punchbowl Falls. I had to pick off ticks after leaving this area - even after prespraying myself with Off. #hamont #discoverhamilton #devilspunchbowl #waterfallcapitaloftheworld #hamiltonwaterfalls #lotsofticks (at Devil's Punch Bowl (Hamilton, Ontario))

One of my favourite artists, Celyn Church @celynartsco #celynartsco set up with lots of her wonderful pieces in front of Artforms/Recreate studio. She has Lightboxes and various stained glass pieces. And some paintings. Be sure to check out her booth this weekend. @Supercrawl #hamont #discoverhamilton #artcrawl #artwork #arthamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl (at Hamilton Supercrawl)

I attended the Overdose Awareness Day event at Gage Park on Thu. I helped a little with the Centre3 exhibit by hanging a long rope of pink coloured shoes, each representing approximately 2 deaths last year due to overdose. I signed one shoe on behalf of a dear friend who lost someone very close due to overdose. It can hit anyone which is why awareness and treatment options are so important. Lots of community partners and participants. Some good information, and even a Nalaxone training session by Hamilton Public Health. #hamont #hamiltonca #overdoseawarenessday #gagepark #preventoverdoses #opioidcrisis (at Hamilton Gage Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnIQFgZHWTm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dps5ttr2viv0

Well that's a kicker to ruin a quiet night. Fire alarm went off. Looks like we rated a 2 alarm. Appears to have been someone fooling around and pulled an alarm at 10:30pm tonight. Most of the building evacuated. A few stayed inside - not particularly smart. Most took their pets out. I tried to get mine but she got in such a panic from the noise, I wasn't able to reach her. Glad it ended up being a false alarm. (at Hamilton, Ontario)

More shots from #Supercrawl this weekend on James St N in Hamilton. Big line up at #OLG. Streets are closed off so very safe for everyone walking. All of the studios are open as well. @Supercrawl #hamont #discoverhamilton #artcrawl #artwork #arthamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl Don't forget more bands and fashion shows coming up tonight and Sunday.

T-shirt made at Sitelines Introduction to Screenprinting program Monday night. Thanks to grants from the Ontario Trilluim @ontrillium Foundation, @centre3_ has been to put together various programs to help those who currently have or have had issues with mental health - often for free. I'm grateful for these #arttherapy programs. Interesting and fun An old and still often used saying of mine: "Not Bad for an Old Fart". Can be taken in multiple contexts.

This tiny, tiny creature, imaged with scanning electron microscopy, is a diatom - a single-celled microorganism in a silica shell 🔬 They’re incredibly abundant in the soil and oceans - there are so many that they produce around 20 percent of Earth’s oxygen! 😱 📷: CSIRO https://ift.tt/2lYLr1e
