I love this visualization. Lovely representation of continuous vs discrete.

#2

From “atoll” to “waterfall”, this image has everything. A perfect wall poster for every classroom.

#3

The newest models of the US Postal Service (USPS) truck may look funny but the design is thoughtful and user-centered. A really good example of user-focused product design.

Another win for the USPS!

#4

That’s some brainy art!

It’s an image of the “dentate gyrus” - an integral region of the hippocampal formation. It is responsible for the formation of our episodic memory as well as the exploration of new environments. It is, therefore, part of the system that gives us autobiographical and episodic memories.

So if you remember this image, your dentate gyrus is activated.

Woah!

Is “10 USAs across” a new measure of size?

That’s it for this issue.

Hit ‘reply’ to tell me what you think.

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

Let’s all celebrate science and engineering and curiosity.

Best wishes,
