Valentine which is a rectangle divided into a left and right half. The left half has the Vernier Science Education logo in white against a pink background with red hearts, tiny yellow 4-pointed starbursts, and some illustrated Vernier sensors. The right half has the face of Mo the motion detector with hearts instead of eyes. Mo’s little stick figure arms are holding what looks like a pale blue candy heart at the lower right of the image, and the candy heart has the words I <3 science on it.

If you follow Vernier on social media, you can download some valentine cards featuring Mo the motion detector!

I only took in the temp probe in the sauna and I used triggering to start the data collection to start when the temp reached 30ºC. I was done after 5 minutes, though.

Wow. Vernier Science Education just released version 6.1 of Graphical Analysis. I used the new Remote Logging feature to measure the temperature in the sauna at my club this morning. #iteachchem

First snow day of the school year. Made a quick afternoon trip to the school to work on a new experiment. #AlwaysMore2Explore

It's great when new experiments give us terrific data. It's even more rewarding when we overcome some initial failures. "Figuring it out" never gets old!!! #TheJourneyIsEverything #FromIdea2Reality #StillHavingFunInYear31
