Scientists have started to use the abilities and prevalence of smartphones to their advantage, creating apps specifically for their studies and crowdsourcing observation and data collection. When almost everyone has an Internet connection, a camera, and a GPS unit right in their phone, almost anyone can gather, organize, and submit data to help move a study along.
We've been promising to bring you photos from Comic Con for the last week and it's finally time to reveal all the great costumes spotted by Zeon and myself. Here are the fifty greatest costumes we saw at the 2012 San Diego Comic Con. One of the biggest events at the convention this year was the ten year reunion of the Firefly cast and crew. Surprisingly, there weren't all that many Firefly cosplayers at the convention. That being said, this group was a great tribute to the ship's crew. I actually was dressed as Mal that day and they were very excited to finally get the last member of the team together for some photographs. As always, there were plenty of Doctor Who costumes, but this duo of Clockwork Androids were definitely some of the best. This crossplay version of The Doctor was simply adorable and I have to say that I think she was the cutest girl-version of Matt Smith at the whole convention. This year there were also quite a few young impersonators of Mr. Smith, although this young chap had the perfect personality and pose for the costume. Speaking of cute costumes for kids, just check out this fantastic version of Nyan Cat!
