The Biodiversity Project by Joels Sartore
For many of Earth’s creatures, time is running out. Half of the world’s plant and animal species will soon be threatened with extinction. The goal of the Biodiversity Project is simple: to show what’s at stake, and to get people to care, while there’s still time to save them. More than 1,800 species have been photographed to date, with more to come.(via NPR’s Morning Edition)

Never Forget: Junior Year
- Me: Do you believe people can change?
- Mr. Woody: I don't know if i believe they can, but I've seen it happen.
- Me: *Questioning look*
- Woody: What I mean is, whoever this person needs to become, they have to want it. They have to want it enough to go against their own instinct for self-preservation; and that just doesn't happen that often. Nobody wants to change. Even if they know they need to.

Science is primarily an investigation of our place of the Universe — the place that people occupy in a world which ranges from the tiniest subatomic particles to the furthest reaches of space and time. We do not exist in isolation, and science is a human cultural activity, not a purely dispassionate striving after truth, no matter how hard we might try. It is all about where we came from, and where we are going. And it is the most exciting story ever told.
- John Gribbin, in Almost Everyone’s Guide to Science: The Universe, Life and Everything
It really is the most exciting story ever told.
