I watched amazing documentary film about Mega structures: Black gold fields on National Geographic Channel Abu Dhabi. Extraction of the petroleum deposit in Canada required Mega structures.

Science Online London: FEAR of science blogging!

Image
How is the web changing science? Join Science Online London 2011 to find out. My brain tried to find out that with others on twitter the best brainstorming online tools on web.
