Because it's Punny Friday...
And because Megan's snake Boris visited the Bear Cubs today...
Man: which snakes make the best mathematicians?
Woman: I don't know. Which?
Man: Adders!
Woman: [facepalm]

This one is in honour of Veronica's Science For Seniors Pollinators workshop at Seton Villa.
Bumblebees use electrostatic forces to determine if a flower has already been visited by another pollinator and so do not have to waste resources visiting an empty bloom.

Because it's Punny Friday...
Man: Do you know how your granny's chairlift works?
Woman: I think so, it...
Man: [interrupting] It has to do with nanatechnology!

Did You Know?
Spring tides, those where high tides are a little higher than average and low tides a little lower, occur twice monthly at the new and full moons. The term relates to an Old English word 'springan' meaning 'welling up' rather than the season of the year.

A quick heads up that we have a few spaces left for our Earth Day activities with Renfrew Park Community Centre.
Come work with a real scientist for a wonderful afternoon exploring the Renfrew Ravine. We will be using a variety of scientific methods to do a 'check up' on the Ravine's health.
This event is open to all ages (children must come with an adult) and will run rain or shine. Mandatory registration is through the community centre.

We are sad to report the death of Noble-Prize laureate Peter Higgs.
Higgs was a physicist most-commonly known for proposing the existence of a subatomic particle, which has since been confirmed and named the Higgs boson. Higgs' work helped us to gain a fundamental understanding of how the universe was formed and how it works.
He is reported to have died peacefully at home at the age of 94.
RIP.

We are happy to report the successful completion of our Science For Spring Break Camp at Douglas Park Community Centre. Megan, Veronica, and our tween participants enjoyed exploring different STEM topics, both inside and out.
Keep watch! We are hoping to have summer STEM camps too.

Veronica had a great time discussing the pH of food and how it relates to flavour and nutrition at the @Kitsilano Neighbourhood House Seniors Wellness Fair.
A highlight of our day: Not one but two adults who had never done science activities before scienced with us at the fair.
Thank you to everyone at Kits House for their warm welcome and assistance that day.

Only a few more days and a few more spots left for our Spring Break Science For Camp next week.
We'll explore a variety of STEM topics with a focus on real-world, hands-on activities.
