Sputnik by jurvetson Released from a Russian museum, it will hang nicely from the rafters at our space museum at work.
Manufactured by the Soviet Academy of Sciences — the group that held responsibility for the general scientific leadership of Sputnik and the supply of research instruments — this full-scale shell measures 2’x7’ long.
Sputnik was the first object placed in orbit, back in the U.S.S.R., October 1957. It was the beep-beep-beep heard round the world. Its radio transmitters provided data on the Earth’s ionosphere and on the structure and temperature of the upper atmosphere. More significantly, its creation ignited the historic Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Its radio signal was easily detectable by ham radio enthusiasts (20 and 40 MHz), and the 65° orbital inclination and duration of its orbit made its flight path cover virtually the entire inhabited Earth, proving to all that they had done it. https://flic.kr/p/2mGqvBN

BCD Life Sciences Takes on Patient Travel

That reminds me of that one infuriating post that was like “if you don’t understand an academic paper, it probably means it was poorly written”…. Besties, romans, countrymen, if you don’t understand an academic paper it’s probably because it was written for a handful of experts in the very specific subfield for which it is relevant, and as someone who is almost certainly NOT one of those handful of experts it’s not in your realm of immediate comprehension. In many (most? all?) fields if you take even one step to the left of your scope of research you’re going to end up spending a lot of time catching up on context. Shockingly, this is because there’s a lot of information out there in the world, and you don’t know all of it. That doesn’t make you stupid, or the author stupid. No one has to be stupid in this scenario. This is a process called learning, just chill on it
