CycleToScience

So, do people still use Twitter these days? We've moved the CycleToScience action to Instagram for now (instagram.com/cycletoscience/). I'm curious if we should stay active on Twitter too.

Our @MITHaystack observatory post is live! Did you know that Haystack Observatory's data center contributed significantly to the now famous first picture of a black hole in 2019? Hop on the commuter rail with your bike and check out this awesome site (cycletoscience.org)

A sneak peek into CERN Science Gateway CERN is preparing to open its new science and outreach centre, CERN Science Gateway. Our photos of the week show Fabiola Gianotti, CERN’s Director-General, taking architect Renzo Piano on a tour of the new exhibition spaces. Six years ago, CERN’s DG had the vision of a one-of-a-kind outreach centre that would put visitors in direct contact with the CERN community, featuring real CERN technologies and pieces of equipment. “I’m personally very excited by the prospect of having a venue where our scientific activities take place alongside public events, and where CERN personnel will rub shoulders with visiting members of the public,” says Dr. Fabiola Gianotti. #CERNScienceGateway #PhotoOfTheWeek

More CycleToScience posts are coming very soon! If people swarm the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Atomium in Brussels, how about telescopes and scientific sites too?! Scientific grounds can be super fun and deeply meaningful places to meditate on big questions.

major scientific facilities should be treated like cultural sites. They should have extensive public access, and opportunities for meaningful and fun experiences!

We will begin installing flex posts on Hampshire Street on Thursday, Sept 14 & Friday, Sept 15. These posts will separate bike lanes from general traffic lanes and parking. Crews will work in the street & bike lane between 7am and 3pm. Learn more: cambridgema.gov/Departments/tr…

Yes, you can bike to Woods Hole! Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute hosts summer tours of their epic scientific facilities, and this week is the season finale. Check out bus & biking routes from South Station. [Soft launch - full blog post to follow] cycletoscience.org

⁉️ We stumbled upon the #WHOI “Ask an Ocean Expert” table and asked @coastalkelper all kinds of questions about her favorite seaweed, kelp! What have you always wanted to know about marine science– but were afraid to ask?

A cool thing is coming here soon. Follow to be the first to see updates! @bostonbikeunion @StreetsblogMASS @StreetsBoston @somervillebike @SomervilleCity @CityOfBoston @ScienceinBoston @WHOI @MITHaystack @CERN @Fermilab @NASAJPL
