Hanging out with my best friend!!!)))
I get to teach in a couple different settings: As part of my grad school work, I’ve taught several classes. And here, with all of you, in the world’s most interesting science classroom.
What’s my favorite thing? That moment when someone GETS it, and those tiny little squinchy stress muscles in their face relax and they go “ohhhhhhh” and on rare occasions even smile … that’s like crack cocaine mixed with meth for me (I assume that’s what it’s like, anyway, having never tried either). Nothing like the a-ha moment.
That and knowing that through hard work and personal connection and respect and commitment and graciousness and patience you can help influence someone’s life for the better. It can be as simple as giving them a sense of accomplishment for the afternoon and maybe making their day, or as significant as steering them to a whole new path in life. I’ve been lucky enough to do both, and everything in between, and it makes me feel humbled with joy.
And of course, I hear the money’s good … HA!
Stay curious and you’ll discover great things.
Little Pink Aliens
This is Hutt Lagoon, a salt lake in western Australia that looks like a scene from another planet. Photographer Steve Back noticed its odd pink hue from the air and captured this gallery of stunningly alien waterscapes.
The really cool part is why it’s pink and red. This lake has such high salt concentration that it’s almost devoid of life. The key word there is “almost”. An algae called Dunaliella salina is able to survive in the salty environment by producing the chemical glycerol, a viscous substance that helps it not get pickled by the brine. The pink color comes from the algae’s high beta-carotene concentration, a pigment they produce in order to protect themselves from intense sunlight as these shallow pools evaporate in the Australian heat.
It’s a similar tale of algae and pigments as the story of why flamingos are pink. I think they’d have a field day at this rose-colored buffet. It’s proof again that no matter how harsh or inhospitable we view an environment, evolution’s powerful, creative hand can mold a creature able to live there. As long as a few basic ingredients for life exist, life will exist.
