Steps of Scientific Method - Meme version
I’m not one to reblog meta-memes, but I think anyone who’s been in research as long as me knows that, at least 99% of the time, that last box should be this:
Followed by this:

LEGO Apollo 11 Rocket by Thebrickman
I think if you guys all start putting together your money right now, you can afford to get this for me for my next birthday.
Previously: Check out these scientists using Lego robots to help grow bones in the lab. Or this Lego space shuttle flying into space on a high-altitude balloon. Or this Lego ISS built aboard the real ISS.
Queda prohibido llorar sin aprender,
levantarte un día sin saber que hacer,
tener miedo a tus recuerdos.
Queda prohibido no sonreír a los problemas,
no luchar por lo que quieres,
abandonarlo todo por miedo,
no convertir en realidad tus sueños.
Queda prohibido no demostrar tu amor,
hacer que alguien pague tus deudas y el mal humor.
Queda prohibido dejar a tus amigos,
no intentar comprender lo que vivieron juntos,
llamarles solo cuando los necesitas.
Queda prohibido no ser tú ante la gente,
fingir ante las personas que no te importan,
hacerte el gracioso con tal de que te recuerden,
olvidar a toda la gente que te quiere.
Queda prohibido no hacer las cosas por ti mismo,
no creer en Dios y hacer tu destino,
tener miedo a la vida y a sus compromisos,
no vivir cada día como si fuera un ultimo suspiro.
Queda prohibido echar a alguien de menos sin
alegrarte, olvidar sus ojos, su risa,
todo porque sus caminos han dejado de abrazarse,
olvidar su pasado y pagarlo con su presente.
Queda prohibido no intentar comprender a las personas,
pensar que sus vidas valen mas que la tuya,
no saber que cada uno tiene su camino y su dicha.
Queda prohibido no crear tu historia,
no tener un momento para la gente que te necesita,
no comprender que lo que la vida te da, también te lo quita.
Queda prohibido no buscar tu felicidad,
no vivir tu vida con una actitud positiva,
no pensar en que podemos ser mejores,
no sentir que sin ti este mundo no sería igual.

Don’t go far off, not even for a day, because —
because — I don’t know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.
Don’t leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don’t leave me for a second, my dearest,
because in that moment you’ll have gone so far
I’ll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?

There is a moment—Oh, just before the first kiss, a whispered word—something that makes it worth while.

Decommissioning The Space Shuttles
The Atlantic gives us what might be the most inadvertently sad slide show of the week. More pictures of machinery that will make you sad at the link.
Previously: Let’s listen to Dr. Tyson. We’ve stopped dreaming, and it’s time to start again and get back into space. But why stop with near-Earth orbit? Been there, done that. Dream bigger!
