Prisms and polarized light, Boston Museum of Science, May 11, 2012.

Disney has hidden Mickeys, the Museum of Science has a hidden Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in their polarized light mural.

Some ideas from budding roboticists on the Great Wall of Ideas at the MIT Museum.

Their robotics exhibit is great, but it is SOOO sad to see Kismet turned off.

So yesterday I went to Boston Comic Con. For once, I got to wear my vest with all of my space pins and not be the most strangely-dressed person in the room! (In fact, I regretted not wearing my goggles and combat boots, too.)

I took photos with some GhostBusters and a Jedi, and shot Nerf darts at a stormtrooper for charity.
