How different surfaces effect blood spatter patterns

I wish I could say that I had put together this gif myself using our simulated blood powder, but I was pointed towards it on Twitter this weekend. It’s going to make a great prac in your classroom, though. Let me know if you need a blood powder top up. One sachet makes a litre so it lasts for ages.

Our Science Superhero Demonstrator for Far North Queensland

Dave Sellick Science Superhero Demonstrator

Dave Sellick Science Superhero Demonstrator at Dissection Connection

Do you recognise this masked man?

We’re proud to announce that this science superhero is our new demonstrator for Far North Queensland, Dave Sellick!

Dave comes armed with over 10 years experience in school labs, most recently at St Augustines College in Cairns. He will be available to run PD sessions for you on any of the workshops we have ready to go at Dissection Connection and Rockhoundz.

Because he’s superhuman Dave will be holding down his full time job at St Augustines and presenting workshops for us outside of his usual work hours. Just like Clark Kent 🙂

So, if you’re in professional development distress then send up the bat signal and Dave will come to your rescue. He’ll be like a neuron transmitting vital information between a distal section and the core of the Vivi-beast. At the moment we have workshops prepared on plucks, hearts, piglets, toads, heads, eyes, reproduction, microfossils and geology experiments.

Let’s hear it for Dave, everyone! Just have a Squeal to Miss Vivi or a Howl to the Hound and we’ll put you in touch.

And if you think you’ve got what it takes to be a Science Superhero in your area then show us the colour of your cape.

#scientistherdnames trends on Twitter and this guy wins

A godsend of lab support staff #scientistherdnames

This morning I got up to find the nerds had united : #scientistherdnames was trending on Twitter.

Who thinks this stuff up?  People much cleverer and wittier than me.

Many, many funny and smart tweets like these were flying around.

But for my money this guy wins the internet today:

Amen to that!  Happy Friday, Vivsters!
