Rare photos of Albert Einstein
Charming.
“The world needs you, badly,” begins celebrated biologist E.O. Wilson in his letter to a young scientist. Previewing his upcoming book, he gives advice collected from a lifetime of experience — reminding us that wonder and creativity are the center of the scientific life.

Aloha! I’m a marine mammal biologist studying bioacoustics at the University of Hawai’i. Also, I’m a U.S. Navy special operations officer, master bomb technician, deep sea diver, and explosives expert. The picture is from a patrol in Northern Afghanistan last year,and the hat I’m wearing is from the Hawai’i Institute of Marine Biology. Much respect to my fellow veterans and scientists.
Cosmic pioneer Edwin Hubble, in a 1949 photograph, perches in the observer’s cage of the then-new 200-inch telescope. He first discovered and studied other galaxies with the telescope’s 100-inch predecessor. In: Life nature library - The Universe by David Bergamini and the Editors of Time-Life Books.

Hubble get down from there you are not a telescope yet. What are you doing there? Get down you are a person. You wont be a telescope for another couple of decades you silly head.

Subway Science - A Whistle-Stop Journey Through Modern Science
The map primarily includes modern scientists who have made significant advances to our understanding of the world, however I have also included many present day scientists who fuel a passion for, and advances in, science through communication and science popularisation.
Man, this is neat. Taking inspiration from the London Underground, this map guides us through the centuries and introduces us to better-known contributors to science. We begin our journey in the sixteenth century. Click through the names to learn more about them!
