    GSK or GlaxoSmithKline a big multinational pharmaceutical company. I don’t know too much about them under than they manufacture a lot of drugs and vaccines including the only approved malaria vaccine. I think it’s pretty neat that they have a vaccine center here in the area.22650cef486b066cfb5723671250a33e.jpg

    A descendant of Newton’s apple tree off International Drive in Van Ness. This is a descendant of the tree from which it is reputed that Newton saw an apple fall that inspired his musings on gravitational force. Another fun fact is that it is on the site of the National Bureau of Standards (now known as the National Institute of Standards and Technology) before it later moved to Gaithersburg.2c7738f3fc144fdc43d7ce614fde3851.jpg

    Horticulture: derived from the Latin words, hortus, meaning ”garden” and colere, meaning ”to cultivate”

    At the Bladensburg Waterfront, there’s a little garden and greenhouse with grow lights.

    Here’s my bike visiting the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Alexandria. Per the USPTO website: “the USPTO fulfills the mandate of Article I, Section 8, Clause 8, of the Constitution that the legislative branch ‘promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.'”

    There used to be a really nice sign for the American Center for Physics, but because of Purple Line Construction, they have this temporary sign.

    The ACP brings the American Institute of Physics, the American Physical Society, and the American Association of Physics Teachers under one roof.
