Hey scientists, here's a fun game for your readers: include a scale bar in a figure, but don't say how long it is!

1cm seems sensible? No that would make this thing to small ... 10cm?... no way too big. Okay, it's a bit of a strange number but 5cm? Nope still too big. I think it's 3cm.

The great thing about this game is that you don't know you've got the right answer! Hours of fun!

One innovative idea that the scientific method brought forth: even though you think you know what will happen, try it and see what actually happens.

Isaac Asimove pointed out that the comment that actually accompanied scientific discovery was not so much "Eureka!" as "Huh. That's funny..."

Absolutely thrilled to find so many interesting #academic accounts here. My timeline is awash with beautiful #infographics, intriguing information, and links to #ScientificPapers.

Appreciation for all the #FBPE accounts too, it’s great to find so many of you on this side of the social sphere!

Plus, hard-returns and full use of punctuation marks! Lovely stuff.

Neat. A service to convert PDF scientific papers to HTML for easier reading on web browsers and mobile devices.

"This is an experimental prototype that aims to render scientific papers in HTML so they can be more easily read by screen readers or on mobile devices."
