Today marks the debut of HuffPost Science, where I hope you'll enjoy delving into the fascinating and ever-changing world of all things scientific -- from cutting-edge research conducted in gleaming labs to awesome discoveries from deep space.
What we can take from these examples is that the work outside of the expected, commissioned work produces the most creative, awesome discoveries, and some silly ones that are just fun by-products of the passion-driven journey.
Much more than the namesake of Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking (which is an awesome show on the Discovery channel by the way), Stephen Hawking is one of the most well-known physicists in the world, and he was able to achieve that in spite of being diagnosed with ALS when he was 21.
Days later, back in Beijing, I came upon dumplings filled with what seemed to be the same white, custardy substance, and I was told it was very fresh bean curd, a discovery perhaps less awesome than that of the terra-cotta soldiers, but enough of a triumph for me.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this Discovery biosphere is awesome.
Dr. Jewitt praised the new discovery, calling this "an awesome new object" but no surprise.
His discovery of LSD's awesome powers came on April 19 1943, a Monday, when he deliberately ingested at his Sandoz laboratory in Basle a tiny quantity, 0.25mg, of a substance he called, in German, Lyserg-säure-diäthylamid (lysergic acid).

And in his pictures one has a sense of what the experience of discovery can be: a mix of the awesome and the prosaic.
