Talking to a professional

 If you get your highschooler to talk to a professional, what do you expect the kid to learn?

Colleges do this too with freshman required to attend a career night where they get to ask professionals about their day to day work and how they ended up in their career and the courses they took.

In a recent session, I spoke to a student and showed her some chips, what semiconductor industry is. Made sure that she knew the concept of industry - eg auto industry.

This is a good time to remember to use the 5 levels.

kids at this age wonder why they need to study courses they dont like for eg chemistry

I told a little bit about interdisciplinary, multiperspectivity. Importance of talking to different kinds of people. Inclusivity.

I found a chance to tell about Hachimoji DNA with 8 letters. She connected to it as she just started learning about the 4 letter DNA.

I suggested planning and taking up mini projects.

Style Legends, Rebels, and Visionaries

I havent heard of many of the stylists here but this book includes legends from different generations, making it a good choice for any generation to go across the divide and find a new favorite or learn about the soul that drives the style of an artist through their clothes, makeup, acessories.

Future of Geography

"just as early humans went from island to island as they crossed the seas.."

Hermann Lundwig Ferdinand Von Helmholtz

 Masters of Medicine

When I started researching about how Helmholtz of Helmholtz coil came up with the idea of canceling out Earth's magnetic field in connection with the magnetometer going to Jupiter's moon Europa to investigate the ice ocean -

I came across this quote in the Masters of Medicine book. It feels like all the earlier century innovators were 2-3 different careers slammed together. 

Homines nulla in re propius ad Deos accedunt, quam Salutem Hominibus dando.  - Cicero

“in no way do men draw nearer to the gods than in giving health to their fellow men.” Pro Ligario, xii, 

To Benjamin Franklin from Alexander Small, 15 March 1777

As a kid, Helmholtz liked playing with wooden blocks.He picked up interest in literature and rhythmic poetry from his dad. Fables de Lokman

Unexpectly found this poem at the end of the book -

"STRONG Soul whose calm and almost God like mien

 Eyes of unfathomable depth of thought.

 And broad and lofty intellectual brow, 

Betoken force and insight Shall I try

To tread the path you followed in the quest 

Of Nature's truth? To live in your great thoughts

 Is like to breathing a pure atmosphere 

On lofty mountain peak in azure blue ,

While all around are pure white fields of snow ,

And all below is veiled in cloud and mist .

And when I find atomic mazy dance,

The swift winged lightning colour's sun born hues.

 The tones of music and harmonious chords,

 Fine movements and the throb of nervous thrills 

That course so swiftly through this mortal frame,

The hidden work of wond rous ear and eye, 

Are all made clear and plain; then comes the thought 

That He Who made all these did also send

To this dull earth His own interpreter.

A great and gifted intellect like thine, 

A child of genius, armed at every point

For all the glorious work that thou hast done,

Revealing Nature's plans; and thou hast shown 

Man's soul is tuned to Nature, and reflects 

All things, as does the surface of a lake 

Reflect the glories of the earth and sky. "
