Macavity Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 This seems to be a place where people *could* contribute favourite links to Science (STEM?) Stuff. Websites, Youtube Videos, Science Blogs etc. 🙂 (I'll leave someone else to start this off - Gauge if there is ANY interest?) Bumper: 1670s, "glass filled to brim;" from notion of bumping as "large," or from a related sense of "booming" (see bump). The meaning "anything unusually large" (as in bumper crop) is from 1759, originally slang. 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macavity Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Thank you, Mr. H! Not many, thus far? But in the spirit of things... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCciQ8wFcVoIIMi-lfu8-cjQ Anton Petrov's Youtube channel! Welcome relief from the "intensity" of Celebrity Science? lol. But prodigious and interesting output! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr H in Yorkshire Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 More of a wee dram than a bumper, but worth trying. As a retired ex-scientist, 20 years Mineralogy, 20 years Forensic Science, I am still just as curious and I still have 'Wow look at that moments'. One thing that disappoints me - I won't be around to read of the amazing discoveries of the next century or two, but I suppose Galileo, Newton etc felt the same, so who am I to complain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I often feel it's a "shame"... The TITAN "Dragonfly"? (I may just... hopefully!?! lol) So many scientists discussing "other things"? It is surely their right, but there is also a lot of standard (FUN!) science to "promote & inform" re. the young/ignorant/etc. 😉 Edited March 30 by Macavity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
