This Science around us, and almost everyone can participate, to carry out a critical laboratory experiment to stroll through a Museum of natural history to simply navigate through a book on the Big Bang.

If you are a science nerd or a scientist Nobel Prize winner, we wanted to highlight doing or simply enjoy science. So we asked readers to share their science"self-portraits" - and here are our favorites. Click to see if the girl can detect it captured a bat... or the man holding a real human brain!

Birthday of Edward Hopper: The iconic American painter would 131 today (photos)

In honor of the birthday of Edward Hopper, a post originally published the year we are reviewing past honor the life and work of the artist.

Today is the birthday of the painter and engraver Edward Hopper. The artist who created the "Nighthawks", one of the best-known American paintings, would make the 131 if he were miraculously alive today.

"Nighthawks", 1932

Hopper was born in Nyack, New York to a strict Baptist family. It is said that they have developed a talent for drawing at the age of five years, as well as a love of French and Russian culture. Encouraged by his parents, the young artist explored the media pen, charcoal, watercolour and oil, that they represent scenes of nature, as well as create their own humor political cartoons. Around the age of 18 years, he moved his conservative home on the Hudson River to study at the Institute of New York's Art Design, where he began to work with models live and paint in the style of Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas.

In 1905, Hopper began working for an advertising agency to earn money, covers magazines of design despite his dislike for the illustrations. It was during this time that he was able to travel to Europe to study artists like Rembrandt and Impressionists. Briefly inspired by the soft blades of the French painters, hopper finally settled in the scheme of dark color that would be known, painting urban scenes of street crowds and cafes through the dark lens of signature. After returning from abroad, hopper reluctantly continued to work on the illustrations, and it was not until 1913 that was able to sell his first picture, "Sailing", at the Armory Show in New York.

Hopper turned to engraving urban scenes of Paris and New York while living in Greenwich Village. In 1923, met his future wife Josephine Nivison, the woman who would serve as his manager, primary model and companion of a lifetime. From there, he began his career at foot, showing the newly created oil paintings and engravings throughout New York.

"Night train", 1918

After a brief period of inactivity during the late 1940s, hopper continued to create works throughout the next two decades, focusing on American issues par excellence such as railways, gas stations, motels and restaurants. Hopper lived through a series of artistic movements in the United States, but his style remained constant, incorporating saturated colors and higher contrast to create dark, cinematic moods of film noir. It should not be a surprise, then, Alfred Hitchcock and Sam Mendes cited frequently as an influence.

On May 15, 1967, Hopper died in his Studio near Washington Square in New York, followed soon by his devoted wife ten months later. His body of work was donated in the Whitney Museum of American Art, with some famous parts find permanent homes at the Museum of modern art in New York, The Des Moines Art Center and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Don't forget to raise your glass to today the birthday of Edward Hopper.

Cosmic Cool 'women' of Robert Pruitt comes to the Studio Museum of Harlem (photos)

Is it possible to be a metamorphosis, while the remaining strongly punished at the same time? Series of crayon Robert Pruitt, titled simply "Woman", shows such not possible an existence - is everywhere.

robert pruitt

Pruitt portraits of contemporary African-American women enter science fiction, hip-hop, black power in the 1960s, culture of the comic and romantic loyalty to realism. Conjure influences cultural build identity, Pruitt presented female force from inside collide with external forces to create a captivating and fantastic portrait.

Pruitt, who lives and works in Houston, Texas, uses pencils told as their medium of choice, a drawing made of coal and clay material. His wife, based on his friends and members of the community, enters a world of fantasy somewhere between a music video, tutorial of steampunk and exploration of colonial Africa.

While cultural infused portrait painter Mickalene Thomas permeates his subjects with style, Afrofuturism and a cosmic sense of cool permeate portraits of Pruitt, tying the trends of the time for a greater sense of eternity. Although Pruitt women occupy a changing set of times, places, moods and modes, strength in their eyes and their bodies keeps tied to the land under them.

"Women" is currently on view at the Studio Museum of Harlem until the 27 of October 2013. Check out a preview of the exhibition below and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

This is what humans and animals look like when they are doused with a bucket of cold water. Behold:

splash

The idea behind these clever photographs is simple: two Toronto-based artists by the name of April Maciborka and David Wile recruited children, adults, a porcupine, a kangaroo and even a peacock to pose for a series called "Splash." In it, the motley crew of subjects sit center frame while the camera catches the exact moment that a significant amount of water comes hurling toward their selves. Chaos does not ensure, but hilarious reactions to the shower certainly do.

"[The project] instigated hilarious reactions from people, babies and exotic animals," Maciborka and Wile explained in an email exchange with The Huffington Post. "It developed into an on-going series for years because [we] couldn’t stop finding the pleasure in watching genuine surprise and of course experimenting with the delightful patterns of freeze framed water."

We couldn't help but smile at the resulting expressions, ranging from shock to aggravation to pure joy. The collaborative project encapsulates split-second moments that we don't often get to relish, bald heads, whipped hair and all.
