From brainwave to reality: A sneak peek at the making of a hands-on Halloween workshop

Years ago, I saw an article online about a pumpkin decorating contest by NASA . The results were spectacular: there were moving parts, whirling parts, computers programmed to display LED messages, depictions of sciences, and some really crazy themes! As Exploratek activity coordinator at the Canada Science and Technology Museum, I was immediately inspired to bring a similar activitiy to our visitors.

Five different moons of Saturn in one image

It’s your chance to name a moon of Saturn

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Normally, when a comet, asteroid, or moon is discovered in our Solar System, the discoverer gets to name the object. This time around, scientists are changing things up! In early October, scientists announced the discovery of 20 new moons in orbit around the planet Saturn. The team who found these new Saturnian satellites have created a Twitter contest, whereby anyone from around the world can suggest names for them. Want to try and name a moon of Saturn? Then check out this article.

And yes, you are quite right in saying that the photograph at the beginning of this article did not appear in La semaine à Radio-Canada ¸ a weekly published in Montréal, Québec, in October 1959 or 1969. I appealed to it because it allowed me to talk about a Québec television series aimed at a young audience, one of the first televised science fiction series in Québec and Canada in fact, whose premiere took place in October 1959, 60 years ago.

Margarine: The complex story of a simple spread

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

The production of cheap margarine was a boon to poorer consumers. Although some countries adopted it easily, other countries tried to eliminate it or limit its availability. In the 1870s, margarine began to spread (pardon the pun) to other countries.

Ingenium: Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

With the recent announcement that James Peebles had won the Nobel Prize in Physics , it is timely to revisit the history of the Physics Department at the University of Manitoba. In 2013, I visited the department to learn specifically about their program in mass spectrometry. On a broader level, my research and collecting touched on aspects of Peebles's rich undergraduate experience in the 1950s. It has been over one hundred years since British scientists developed methods to deflect ions
