The beauty of science
I originally studied science and first studied chemistry. I did not learn badly, I understand all the things the teacher said. Chemistry is not enough to understand, but also to do experiments, and I can not do experiments. With the pipette to move liquid, others are using rubber balls to suck liquid, I always use the mouth to suck - I know that the pipette can not be sucked with the mouth, but the rubber ball often can not find - suck other okay, once I actually went to suck concentrated ammonia, as if sucked into the old can of urine. After that, I lost my voice for half a month. When I did my thesis, I did an extraction experiment, and the flask contained a large bottle of chloroform, which was boiling and should not have run out, but my device was leaking, and it leaked all in a while. When it leaked, I went to get a new one, and the new one leaked again. In one week I leaked five bottles of chloroform, and at least half of what I leaked was sucked in. This stuff is a kind of narcotic, I sucked in enough chloroform to drunkenly kill ten pythons. Strange to say, I actually stood still, just a little dazed. In this case, I also made the experiment, proving that I did quite well in chemistry class. But my teacher and classmates agreed that I was not fit to do chemistry. This was especially true of the students I was experimenting with in the same lab, who also inhaled some chloroform, nowhere near as much as I did, and complained of dizziness. They also called me the enemy of the people in the lab. I thought the same thing myself: if I continued to do chemistry, it wouldn't matter if I poisoned myself, but it would be bad if I poisoned my colleagues. I was always attracted to this science: there were many girls studying chemistry, and many of them were beautiful.

Mary Poppins & the 1960’s, Boiled Cabbage & Odoratus
Two sessions, High School and Middle School… When we try to control creativity, there is a sad truth to realize— it never works. I am constantly reminding myself of this vital lesson with my students when I want to ‘steer’ the session. In the last two weeks of this school year, by letting go, I had two amazing and spontaneous discussions in my sessions with a sophomore and seventh grader…

Books
I was reading a book yesterday, curled up in my favorite easy chair, and the thought struck me, how many people still read books today? It is a hectic, fast-paced world we live in today, with a million things happening all at once and time is always at a premium.

Women
When seen as an object, females are not given large roles. Although in modern times equal rights between genders has been making progress, and women's roles in literature and mass media are changing, it’s hard to ignore that the classics people learn from still hold blatantly sexist themes and messages. Women played a role in pre-classical, classical, medieval, and renaissance literature. The roles women played though, were oftentimes unflattering, objectifying, and demeaning. Oftentimes they were made out to be the cause of pain and suffering, or were considered prizes to be won, earned, and kept. Although women were seen in higher regard come the medieval and renaissance eras, they were still objectified and used to further the plot for their male counterpart rather than playing an actual role in the story.

Top Children Illustrators to Follow in 2022
There is a great chance that you still remember one or two of your favorite books as a kid. As a child, you best understand things through visuals since you don’t know how to read. This explains why kids’ books wouldn’t make sense if they did not have illustrations. Illustrations will help develop the mind and imagination of a child before they can read.

Lessons from a 1930’s Budgeting Book
During these unprecedented times one needs to get up to scratch on how to Make Things Work. The current crisis has impacted our physical and mental health whilst also emptying our bank accounts. As a freelance creative and a small business owner, I feel particularly affected by the ongoing lockdowns we’re experiencing in Australia, as well as the coronavirus pandemic at large. So when I was gathering a few books to keep me company during Melbourne’s sixth lockdown I couldn’t resist adding Orchids On Your Budget to cart. There’s something especially drab about having to read any kind of budgeting book, but reading one with the glimmer of the late 30s involved felt a little more palatable. Orchids On Your Budget was published on the tail end of the depression, not long before the second a world war, certainly extremely tough times for so many, but really was that financial situation all that different from the one we are facing now?
