🪲💧 Ripple #bugs live their entire lives on the surface of streams, pivoting in less than the blink of an eye while stirring the #water beneath them into swirling vortices.

#Biomechanics researcher Víctor Ortega-Jiménez spent five years figuring out their secret: feather-like oars on their middle legs that deploy and collapse in just 10 milliseconds. Engineers are now building small #robots that mimic these water-skating abilities.

Deception Pass Bridge, WA in B&W



There are actually two bridges constructed between 1934-1935. Whidbey Island to the very small Pass Island, and from Pass Island to Fidalgo Island. this photo was taken underneath the south span from Whidbey Island.

Girls in single-sex schools face major STEM access gaps - survey

More than half of girls in single-sex schools see limited subject choice as a barrier to pursuing careers in #science, #technology, #engineering and #maths (STEM), according to a new survey.

The annual Survey of Female Students' Attitudes to STEM was conducted by I Wish, a national non-profit organisation that empowers girls to see the potential of STEM.

The research shows that among the 2,335 Transition Year female students surveyed in single-sex schools, just 5% reported access to construction studies and 6% to engineering, compared with 84% and 74% respectively in mixed schools.

According to the study, 55% of girls in single-sex schools cite limited subject choice as a barrier to STEM, versus 37% in mixed schools.

The report calls for urgent action to ensure equal access to #STEM education for every girl in #Ireland.
