The AllPowers Power Station may be all the power you need to keep you going

NEWS – Since my experience with hurricane Sandy in New York about 6 years ago, I have become a big fan of portable power stations that can adequately supply me with the necessary power to survive and for as long as possible. There are now many power stations available, but most of them have various shortcomings that make them just not quite right for me.

Just recently, I came across the AllPowers Power Station that is launching its crowdfunding campaign on 11/14/2018, but according to the manufacturer, they will be shipping the first batch of Power Stations the week of 11/26/20128. The Power Station features 2x 120V AC Output (US) 230V (EU), 3x 15W Fast Charging USB ports, up to 60W PD Input & Output, built-in Qi Wireless Charger, 2x DC Output & Car Port Output, 2x LED Lights, 40W Solar Charging Pad, and can Power 9 Devices at once.

If the AllPowers Power Station lives up to its hype and specs, it sounds like the perfect fit for me. To see their campaign and to get more information, you can head over to their Indiegogo page. They just launched today and have already met their $10,000 funding goal. You can pre-order the Power Station for $299 + shipping. You can also get more information about their products on the AllPowers website.

Your (anatomically correct) heart is a perfect gift for your favorite scientist

NEWS – Wondering what to give your favorite scientist for Christmas this year?  No matter if they are chemists, biologists, engineers, or mathematicians, you’ll find something in their field at the Boutique Academia website.  As a mathematician herself, Maile Urbancic, founder and CEO of Boutique Academia, says this about her jewelry:

“When I started my business, Boutique Academia, I was determined to fight against stereotype threat and the subtle bias that suggests that math is for boys. I decided to do this by deliberately combining traditionally feminine objects (jewelry) with images, messages, and symbols from STEM disciplines. My goal has been to create wearable art that both inspires the wearer and sends the visual message that femininity and STEM are completely compatible.”  Read her entire article here. And you’ll probably be interested to know that her company supports many causes related to STEM education, with fundraisers and donations of product to school auctions and STEM club fundraisers.

You’ll be able to find an appropriate gift for your scientist, regardless of her field.  Oh, and men may like her pieces, too.  You’ll find necklaces, tie bars, earrings, keychain fobs.  Designs include molecules, Avogadro’s Constant (above), the Fibonacci sequence, a bacteriophage (below), and much more.  Metals include sterling silver, brass, and pewter.

Find the perfect gift for your friend in the STEM field at Boutique Academia.
