So, this is it…

That moment when you realize that tomorrow is when you and the 65 other people that have been your classmates for the last four years are all going their separate ways. It finally hit me. I really am going to miss you all. We’ve been pushed, sometimes to a point when it seemed like everything was against us, but we endured and survived! Along with that, I’ve made a bunch of new friends and a lot of great memories here. MST class of 2012, it’s been an honor to have known you all and I know that everyone will be off to do great things in college and beyond :) Thanks for making the past four years not only interesting and crazy, but also some of the best years of school :’D

Smallest Possible Five-Ringed Structure Made: ‘Olympicene’ Molecule Built Using Clever Synthetic Organic Chemistry Scientists have created and imaged the smallest possible five-ringed structure — about 100,000 times thinner than a human hair — and you’ll probably recognize its shape. The scientists decided to make and visualize olympicene whose five-ringed structure was entered on ChemSpider, the RSC’s free online chemical database of over 26 million records two years ago.A collaboration between the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), the University of Warwick and IBM Research — Zurich has allowed the scientists to bring a single molecule to life in a picture, using a combination of clever synthetic chemistry and state-of-the-art imaging techniques. “When doodling in a planning meeting, it occurred to me that a molecular structure with three hexagonal rings above two others would make for an interesting synthetic challenge,” said Professor Graham Richards CBE, RSC Council member.

Neil Gaiman to the University of the Arts Class of 2012 

… or a meditation on the limits of creativity, which are, of course, nonexistent.

People who know the rules know what is possible and what is impossible. You do not and you should not. The rules of what is possible and impossible were made by people who have not tested the bounds of possible by going beyond them - and you can.

(via Brain Pickings and Coudal Partners)

ofpaperandponies: sentient-star-dust: You see this? This mushroom? It’s called the Spongebob Squarepants Mushroom. I shit you not. Spongiforma squarepantsii Google it if you don’t believe me. This almost, *almost*, beats my pet bio love, the Sonic hedgehog homolog (Shh) gene. It totally would if Shh didn’t cause terrifying/awesome cyclopes when it malfunctioned.

neurolove: Who doesn’t love brainbow? For people who don’t know, brainbow is a type of stain created by a researcher at Harvard.  Essentially, differing amounts of flourescent proteins in every single cell mean that each neuron is a different color.  This means it is much easier to follow a single neuron along the axon and dendrites and see where it connects to, etc. since all the surrounding cells are different colors. I just love the way it looks! [Image Source]
