Six STEM Tweets

Six tweets that celebrate engineering and all things STEM.

I scroll so you don’t have to.

Some of the topic below have questions. Let me know if you have answers/comments/opinions.

#1

This is one of those “makes perfect sense once you read about it” facts. Our viewing angle of all the celestial objects depends on our place on Earth. But it’s pretty interesting that things we take for granted, our common reality isn’t exactly the same for all of us.

#2

Einstein’s death anniversary was last week.

I was able to visit Einstein’s locker last year during a trip to Zurich. The ETH university has preserved his locker from his time there and it’s very unassuming - still part of a bank of lockers and without too much signage or fanfare. It felt like a pilgrimage - to see his notebooks, his personal belongings. Fantastic feeling!

#3

Neat idea! Is there a topic or area of math you would like to learn more about?

I would love to learn more about matrices and their applications.

#4

😂

(If the image is cut off for you, it says, “Is she calculating velocity?”)

😂

#5

The power of open source!

How cool is that folks like you and me have their code on another planet!

#6

Would you wear this?

(for those with rusty trigonometry, the formula simplifies to sec(c) 🙂 )

That’s it for this issue.

And hit ‘forward’ to share with your friends and family.

Let’s all celebrate science and engineering and curiosity.
