A Harvard professor's research suggests that diversity can 'bring out the turtle is all of us' and that it may work to reduce civic engagement. The work is definitely worth a discussion about the study itself and how the issues it raises might be mitigated.

How good are you at staying sane? Does 520 days in a simulated Mars expedition module with five other crew members sound like a challenge? Then go for it, but beware, there are thousands of others who think they can make the grade too - and this isn't even a TV show, this is a real ESA project. Scientific experience, and a command of English and Russian are required.

Vibrations from pure tones make salt crystals form distinct patterns. Turn your volume down before viewing as the tones can be annoying to listen to, but the patterns that are formed are interesting. See also cymatics.
