“Science is the greatest equalizing force in the world. When I set out, I didn’t set out to solve the world’s carbon problem or water problem. I set out to build beautiful things and solve intellectual problems.”

Celebrating the 323rd anniversary of Andre Celsius upside down!

Anders Celsius devised a simple, reliable way of measurement: the centigrade (“100 steps”) temperature scale. It set the FREEZING point of water at 100 degrees and the BOILING point at the 0-degree mark. Yes, you read correctly. This was because the temperature in Sweden during the winter is very low, and Celsius preferred not to use negative numbers daily. Not long after Celsius died in 1744, Carolus Linnaeus suggested inverting the centigrade scale, making 0 degrees the freezing point and 100 degrees the boiling point of water.

Spider Science
Do spiders deserve much better press? Modern media tend to portray spiders as eight-legged, multi-eyed terrors. With deeper exposure, and open minds, can we come to see the beauty and benefits of our arachnid acquaintances? UC Berkeley scientist Trinity Walls thinks so. Her life-long journey — from curious child to rigorous researcher — reveals spider science to be an avenue of creative self-expression that offers rich insights into nature and society.
