The first female editor in chief of the prestigious journal Science is now set to become the first female president of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. On Monday the NAS announced the committee’s nomination of Marcia McNutt, a geophysicist by training, to take over when current president Ralph J. Cicerone steps down on July 1, 2016.

Members of the Academy could nominate another prospective candidate to compete with McNutt on her Dec. 15 election, but that’s never happened in the group’s history.

Along with the rest of the scientists of the Academy, McNutt is tasked with providing objective scientific advice to the U.S. government to influence sound policy decisions. McNutt is no stranger to that task: In 2014 McNutt took the controversial stance of supporting the Keystone XL pipeline, which she deemed to be the least of all available evils given the country’s dependence on fossil fuel. And just days ago, McNutt attracted the ire of climate change deniers by writing that “the time for debate has ended” in a Science editorial calling for urgent action.

The nomination is a long time coming for NAS, which was established in an Act of Congress in 1863. Science is still largely unwelcoming to women — especially when it comes to positions of power — and the nomination of a (highly qualified) female scientist is heartening, to say the least.

More automaton goodness from one of the greats, Keith Newstead! If you think you've seen it all with the sheep and the wolf after the first 10 seconds, just wait. You will be treated to a classic variant and then a very new twist on the theme.

You can see more automata by Keith Newstead on his web site.

This video is pure gold. “Riding on the back of another man’s motorcycle can be a dangerous threat to one’s manhood. Commonly known as ‘riding bitch;’.”

For men that may need to hitch a ride with a brofriend, this 1960s throwback instructional video from Alex Vivian and Cris Balmaceda is both informative, and hilarious. Here’s a few highlights- never look your rider in the eye, give a good 10 cm gap between rider’s back and passenger’s balls, and most definitely do not massage the rider.

Here’s a breakdown of the nut-to-butt riding positions that are ‘allowed’.

Black Seasons Julien Coquentin

My black seasons were those of childhood, seasons plunged into darkness, where the time year after year always bury a little more. The photographed territory is  in Europe, where I grew up, and landscapes are similar to my bedside table, they hide my memory, with all the smells, tastes, sensations that I was able to experience.

How do we go beyond the territory of childhood when it looks like to pens?

In my memory, it is bounded by some hills, some meadows, forest, village, countryside as a playground. And that’s what we were, the country’s children, the children of a landscape. I had the chance to grow in a protected environment, we were a few friends, animals with a territory. Young dogs peeing in the grass and mark their habitat. We had our huts, hiding places, secrets. This child then wrote my relationship to space and returning to those places is like being a kid, eternal, part of the earth. My black seasons are fields, peasants, the darkness of a church, the silence of the forest, mad dashes and lowing of cattle, the inexorable passage of time between my fingers.

Autodesk Maya 3D HoloLens Demo at WPC 

Microsoft demo for their Hololens tech explores the concept of Augmented Reality Design and how it could be implemented in software such as Maya:

At Worldwide Partner’s Conference (WPC), Microsoft demonstrated how the HoloLens would integrate with Autodesk’s Maya 3D animation software. Maya is a popular graphic art and design program.

You will be able to work on a project in Maya on your desktop computer with a traditional mouse and keyboard while projecting a realistic 3D rendering of the model, as Microsoft demonstrated. This could make it easier for coworkers to see what you’re working on without having to peek over your shoulder. The changes you make also show up on the 3D model as you’re working.

You can also project 3D models onto a real-world objects to see how your project will look in real life. In the example below, a model of a motorcycle is being projected over an actual motorcycle so that you can change its color.
