A crazy man is reassigned to work on a theory that has driven others mad.
Visual and kinda interesting, but it tries to hard to be bubblegum and has no resolution to meet its vague intellectual attempt. Not recommended; unsatisfying.

A meal replacement beverage.
The cocoa version is like drinking chocolate ice cream, including the gummy mouth feel afterwards. It's definitely only a "treat" and not a meal replacement.
The vanilla has a definite flavor but is definitely tame. It also suffers from the mouth feel problem, which I think would be a problem for narration and singing.
See Soylent for a lot of notes which also apply to this product.

Several years ago I had a vague interest in looking up the history of women in science.
I don't think I ever had any particular notes, but I'll drop a page here just in case.
See also Genius women.

Brief moments from a symposium on the probability of alien life, held at Boston University.
This does more to set up who would be speaking than .. actually present what they're speaking. Pass.

A meal replacement beverage.
A hands-down spectacular idea and implementation. I ate Soylent for months, and have even eaten it both as a snack, then a meal, and then as my only food. Highly recommended, not just for diet or general health but for lifestyle.
- These notes are for the from-powder 1.5 version.
The idea behind the Drake equation is to put the vastness of the universe beside the probability of contact with aliens.
The idea is deceptive -- the universe is large, so it has so many planets, so the possibilities become probabilities and then become absolutes, right?
Wrong.

These are from test papers and essays submitted to science and health teachers by junior high, high school, and college students around the world. It is truly astonishing what weird science our young scholars can create under the pressures of time and grades.
