Geeking Out

  • One of the best things we’ve seen in a while on the world wide computer place: lady scientists use only the most common words to describe the sciencey things they do, like building space cars. (We failed with sticking to those 1,000 words in just writing this description.)
  • Dr. Ellen Ochoa becomes the first Latin@ director of the Johnson Space Center, and only the second woman to ever hold the title!
  • The amazing Alex Kingston (River Song on Doctor Who) joins the cast of Arrow, making her the second Whoverse actor to appear in the series. (John Barrowman plays Malcolm Merlyn on the show.)
  • Take a sneak peak at some photos from the upcoming 3rd season of Game of Thrones!
  • Neil Gaiman’s 2008 children’s novel The Graveyard Book might soon be coming to the big screen, under the direction of Ron Howard.
  • Awesome, dizzying, mind-warping animated GIFs from a Croatian designer & researcher. (via Colossal)
  • A new company, Deep Space Industries, wants to start mining in space. They plan on making a fleet of spacecraft. Hopefully they make more than eight!
  • With a clever play on words (To Get Her There/Together There), this new advocacy campaign launched by Girl Scouts of USA is focused on developing a future of leadership for young girls. We love the campaign’s website.
  • We are super into Urbance, a new futuristic animated series from Canada. Check out the trailer:

    Actually, there’s another Whoverse actor on Arrow! Walter Steele is played by Colin Salmon, who was Mr. Moon in the Doctor Who episode, The Silence in the Library :) It’s a Who invasion!
