i really hate this mentality that “no you cant go into this field of work because it doesnt pay a lot”

you know what

if I’m happy doing something i love, that’s what i want, not to drag myself to a job i hate and that stresses me out only because it pays more, i think my well-being and happiness is better than whether i get a lot of money or not

there is nothing romantic about

not knowing you’re beautiful

loving someone until they learn to love themselves

please stop romanticizing low self esteem.

it’s one thing to love a person who happens to have low self esteem

it’s another thing to frame low self esteem as a desirable trait.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your nanogarden grow?

Harvard engineer Wim Noorduin has a green thumb. Only his thumb is only a few microns wide. By carefully controlling gradients of chemicals, he guided the construction of flower-like crystal structures to match their larger biological forms. It’s certainly art, but it also demonstrates a masterful manipulation of chemistry on the nano scale.

Just how small are they? As NPR reports, these flowers could fit in the lapel of the tiny Abraham Lincoln statue on the back of a penny (back when pennies had the Lincoln Memorial on them, anyway). These electron microscope images are false colored to recreate fantastic flowers, and these manipulations will one day help control the construction of useful microstructures.

If you’re seriously engineering-inclined, here’s the original research as it appears in Science.
