Have a look at the Exploratorium website -- they are located in San Francisco in Northern California. It is a science/exploration museum located down on the waterfront, and they come up with some truly fascinating exhibits to showcase science (and also sometimes mix in art)... :smile:

Many scientists practice the arts, more so if you regard science fiction as art.

Examine the forums on this site including writing, photography, sculpture, and music.

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
