Science Fiction vs. Science Fact

Robots. Cyborgs. Machines. In science fiction, artificial intelligence is represented in many forms. But in the real world, there’s a cognitive system made to understand, reason and learn. His name is Watson. And he’s going to work with us to help us outthink our biggest challenges. More science facts after the jump →

I guess this is a thing? Ok.

What’s on that whale?!

This close up of whale skin shows a community of living creatures. Gray Whales have two common hitchhikers on their bodies: barnacles and whale LICE. But whale lice aren’t lice at all; they’re a type of amphipod crustacean called cyamids. And each species of cyamid is unique to a species of whale! To survive, cyamids hitch a ride on a whale and munch bits of its skin and flesh. If the whale is healthy these parasites don’t harm it - a commensal relationship. If a whale is covered in them it is often an indication of illness or injury. Photo by refuge volunteer Roy W. Lowe

Cheesethesecond’s Follower Giveaway!

So one of the perks of my job is that occasionally, publishers just send me really cool books for free, like the Star Wars Propaganda Art book, which came with a bunch of awesome mini-posters:

Seeing as I’m not planning to hang all these mini-posters up on my wall, I thought I might share the love a little bit with a follower giveaway! Here’s the deal:

You must be following me to win! This is really a thank you for the people who have stuck with me through blog shifting and fandom jumping, etc. (Though you can certainly still win if you just started following me!)

Likes and reblogs count. Feel free to reblog it as many times as you want.

I’ll randomly select seven winners on 12/19. The first winner will get to pick one of the seven posters above, the second winner from the remaining six, and so on. You can only win once.

You’ll have to be comfortable giving me your name and address, since I gotta ship it to you somehow.

That’s it! If you have any questions or want to see any of the posters up close, my inbox is always open! Good luck, friends <3
