When the kids were small, we built towers from spa

When the kids were small, we built towers from spaghetti and grapes. 🍇 Now that they’re older, I’d love to level up our skills and construct a spaghetti bridge that can hold a bag of sugar.
🌉
Visit TKSST.com/dyson (link in bio) to watch a @jamesdysonfoundation #video in which three #Dyson #engineers put their spaghetti bridge designs to the test. We’re definitely attempting this classic #STEMeducation #activity this summer.

“Kids are ready. They really are. Kids are amazing creatures, with endless curiosity and incredible resilience. They need grownups to dive into complicated and uncomfortable topics earlier than you think.”
📚
Belonging, feminism, gratitude, cancer, creativity, adventure, Covid-19, and more. These #books are honest, kind, and helpful #parenting tools from creative dads-turned-indie publishers. And their wonderful collection is growing. Visit their site for more: AKidsBookAbout.com.

If the weather cooperates, @NASA will launch astronauts @astro.behnken and @astro.doug into orbit from #KennedySpaceCenter's historic Launch #Pad39A on Wednesday, May 27th at 4:33pm EDT. A partnership with @SpaceX, the #CrewDragon #dm2 mission is the first crewed launch from American soil since 2011. 🚀
In anticipation, I’ve featured a selection of #rocket-themed videos in TKSST.com’s weekend newsletter. Link in bio. 📸: @launchphoto via @astro.doug / @SpaceX.

When I saw the first #snail on a branch in the dry

When I saw the first #snail on a branch in the dry foothills of #LosAngeles, I felt bad that it had been caught in the sun. 🐌☀️ But then I noticed just how many #snails there were in the same predicament. What was going on?! 👩🏻‍💻
Quick googling didn’t reveal much but I did run into a Sept 2019 #researchpaper titled “Snails in the sun: Strategies of terrestrial #gastropods to cope with hot and dry conditions” by Mona Schweizer, Rita Triebskorn, and Heinz‐R. Köhler (photo 4).
📖
It explains that “although, at first glance, climbing sun‐exposed objects seems to be rather disadvantageous for the snails,” studies have shown that it’s cooler up high than it is on the soil surface. 🌬🐌 😲
I’d never seen this before. Have you seen it where you live? #nature #science #mollusk #biology #ecology #desert #heat #temperature
