I'm finally home from a wonderful week-long trip to Minneapolis and Madison. A group of ANDRILL and ARISE people met in Minneapolis to discuss scientific education. This involved spending time playing with a Geowall, mini golf in the science museum of Minnesota Big Back Yard, and learning about PSICAT and Corelyzer. We also watched a video of a Rain Table but did not get to play with it.
All this was in the context of ANDRILL and ARISE and meeting the team members and brainstorming about what interesting science education topics we will do on the ice. It is a great group and I'm excited to spend a few months with them in Antarctica.
The highlight of the trip was a morning in the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory, a hydrology and fluid mechanics research center with the mission to, “conduct research for developing innovative and sustainable engineering solutions to major environmental, water-resources, and energy-related problems”. I wish I had brought my camera so I could show some picture of all the streams and the Jurassic Tank they have inside the building…
