Antarctic Mountains With and Without Ice
Buried under miles of ice, Antarctica’s mysterious mountain ranges are coming into sharper focus thanks to a new map.
Created by the British Antarctic Survey, Bedmap2 drew upon millions of new measurements of the frozen continent’s surface elevation, ice thickness, and bedrock topography from a wide variety of sources collected over several decades.
Due to technological advances, Bedmap2 is also higher in resolution, more precise, and covers more of the continent than the original Bedmap, produced more than ten years ago, according to Charles Webb, deputy program scientist for cryospheric sciences at NASA headquarters. Earth’s frozen regions are collectively called the cryosphere.
For example, the original Bedmap relied mostly on ground-based measurements, which limited the scientists in terms of how much land they could cover, Webb noted.

See the outbreak map and Google trend data below, then use the widget below it to find the closest vaccine to you. Take an extra hour off work and do some shots before you make someone you love sick.
Got my shot last week and I wasn’t even aware until a few days ago, this is very important don’t ignore it or scoff it off as something you can remedy at home. Go get your damn flu shots!

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!

In the spirit of the well-circulated Facebook friendship map by Paul Butler, research analyst Olivier Beauchesne at Science-Metrix examines scientific collaboration around the world from 2005 to 2009:
‘I was very impressed by the friendship map made by Facebook intern, Paul Buffer [sp] and I realized that I had access to a similar dataset. Instead of a database of friendship data, I had access to a database of scientific collaboration.’
From an extensive database of academic citations:
I extracted and aggregated scientific collaboration between cities all over the world. For example, if a UCLA researcher published a paper with a colleague at the University of Tokyo, this would create an instance of collaboration between Los Angeles and Tokyo.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luzth8UP8U1qbn5m1o1_500.jpg)
