Yeah Science! @scienceatnewham - Tumblr Blog

Science is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is a process of investigating. It’s posing questions and coming up with a method. It’s delving in.

You have spiders living inside your face right now

It sounds grosser than it really is. Researchers initially weren’t sure if all humans hosted mites on their faces, or just some. But new reports have found that all healthy human adults do in fact have colonies of these little guys.

So what are they? Mites! Mites are great. Mites are in the class Arachnida (that’s right, arachnid… it’s technically a type of spider), sub class Acari. It’s been estimated that over 48,000 species of mites exist on Earth, but most are too small to see, and are also quite evasive. Because they’re so hard to study, very little is known about them.

Only two species are known to inhabit your face: Demodex brevis and Demodex folliculorum. The former inhabits your sweat glands, and the latter inhabits your hair follicles. They feed on your excreted oils, copulate on your face, and lay eggs in your pores. It’s quite fascinating!

So, whenever you feel lonely, just remember that thousands of microscopic spiders are banging on your face right now.

Women in STEM of WWII - The real “Rosie Riveters”

In most countries women were not permitted to fight on the front lines of the war. Instead, they supported the war effort by learning, training and taking up jobs usually held by men.

These women did a lot more than rivet, they designed, built and tested thousands of aircraft in factories across Canada and the US. Prior to the war, women would have been mostly banned from taking up such jobs.
