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)

I was on the balcony trying to cool off early this afternoon when I noticed 2 planes flying in formation. I almost immediately recognized them as the AVRO Lancaster and the Boeing B-29 Superfortress which were part of the Charity Airshow. I was thinking it sure would be nice if they flew overhead. After a long arcing curve over Stoney Creek and Burlington, to my surprise, they came back my way to the Hamilton airport. I rushed to grab my DSLR (though my cellphone would have been faster but poorer quality) and took some shots. These are a few of the better ones. The props aren't turning because they were about to drop out of the sky.

A very big crowd in attendance at Becky Katz 10 years in wood exhibit at the Casino Artspace Gallery. It was the first time I had a chance to see some of her work. I knew she was well known and respected in the Hamilton Art community. Besides her creative ideas, I now see she also has a lot of talent. #hamont #discoverhamilton #hamiltonart @booboobubble #centre3 @centre3_ #woodcarving #woodetching (at Casino Artspace)

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

If you get hungry at #Supercrawl, there are more than 35 food trucks at either end of James St N near the main stages. And lots of wonderful restaurants and bars in between. Fantastic selection of tastes, flavours and smells for any palate or dietary requirements. @Supercrawl #hamont #discoverhamilton #artcrawl #artwork #arthamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl #foodie #foodtruck (at Hamilton Supercrawl)

A little hiking along the Hamilton Bayfront Waterfront trail on a mild, and what was supposed to be a mixed sun/cloud (saw no sun) day. The Mute Swan young have gotten a lot bigger. Appears that 3 survived. Looks like a beaver has set up shop along the trail. And a good looking hawk/falcon posed nicely for a few of us enjoying the day. I just wish I had brought my DSLR instead of using the phone camera. #waterfronttrail #bayfrontpark #hamont #cloudysunday #hikinginhamont #beaverden #muteswan (at Bayfront Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqnxiwjBY0N/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g8gfyux4l52f
