Science starts with a mindset — not a title.
It’s not an exclusive club for experts.
It’s a mindset:
🔍 observe 🧠 think critically ❓ ask questions 🌐 stay open
This mindset belongs in everyday life:
👁️‍🗨️ observe 🔗 connect dots ⚖️ embrace contradictions
Knowledge is not a state — it’s a process.
💭 Those who know a lot often doubt more — not from insecurity, but from precision.
True insight needs courage for complexity, not quick answers.

From sanitation to skyscrapers, water towers to world class collections of knowledge—science underpins everything we do in modern life.

It is criminal to turn our backs on centuries of research and progress, because some numbnut thinks he knows more than anyone else.

I appreciate the book as a whole despite my criticism. It was a surprising story; I got more than I bargained for. People are complicated. I guess that's good to remember in any situation......

Did you know use #ferromagnetic #glitter is aligned on the mail with magnets and then the resin is set with uv light (the process itself also was awesome!) #science #womeninSTEM #everydayScience

This is technically a mineral, crystallisation took about 12 hours on a supercooled substrate. No fancy lab equipment used, photo doesn't involve polarisation or magnification. Any guesses? #EverydayScience
