Interesting personal connection: my mother was involved in the discovery of Buckminsterfullerenes (bucky-balls), carbon nanostructures that resemble Buckminster Fuller's geodesic domes. My mother and other graduate students were not credited in the Nature paper, nor acknowledged in the Nobel Prize for their work.

The most popular exhibit on Instagram and Facebook from peers that visited BAM/PFA. Leave it to STEM majors to find this piece of astronomy history. This snip of narrowband radio signal has extraterrestrial and non-solar characteristics. As usual, link out to Wikipedia.

I am fond of spiders and almost missed this exhibit on my way out. These are spider webs from various species.
This looks like an interesting museum - I like the setup as well, based on your photos! The spider webs exhibit is actually such an awesome idea (although I'm not the biggest spider fan and seem to walk blindly face first into webs all the time).
ReplyDeleteIt's very different. The floors are not exactly distinct, and the architecture really makes the experience.
DeleteThe spider artist has some really interesting (larger) works not in this museum. Sounds strange, but the structure of spider webs is very thought-provoking (and a marvel of nature's engineering).
It's awesome that you get free admission! You can check it out again and again whenever they have new exhibits :D // Oh gosh I have a friend who would freak OUT if he saw that spider exhibit. He'd probably pass out tbh -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm graduating so there's not much more I can see. The museum also has an extensive collection of film from Pacific rim countries and shows them in its theatres. That's something I missed, unfortunately.
DeleteSpiders are great. No spiders were contained in the exhibit, but it did make me wonder how webs are constructed. They're very artistic to the human eye, but the individual spider knows nothing about statics or mechanics, doesn't draft anything, and is much smaller than its creation. Very interesting indeed.
