Science Magazine

The Science Magazine has a few articles by John Bohannon this week on the Galileoscope project. News of the Week summarizes the current status of the project and its impact on astronomy education. The Gonzo Scientist tells Katrien Kolenberg's amazing story in Senegal. You just have to read them! And guess what, this blog is mentioned there!

Greenway Connecting Canton and Hong Kong

This is not really about my trip but I saw a very exciting news. The Canton Province (in China) and Hong Kong governments agree to build a "Greenway", which will be a bike route connecting different country parks in Canton and Hong Kong!

Google Map for Bike

At the National Bike Summit 2010, Washington, D.C., Google announces that the Google Maps supports bike routes!  If you search for a direction, in addition to "By car", "By public transit", and "Walking", now you have the fourth choice "Bicycling".  Perfect timing for my trip!

And this is how I bike home from the CfA!
