10、disturbances.When he got home, McLindon, now 60, went online and found a three-wheel bike with a seat belt, perfect for a child with balance issues. Soon the boy was riding around the street with his peers, having fun and getting exercise. But there was more, as McLindon learned from his friends rea
11、ction. “Ill never forget the smile on his face,” McLindon says, “when he sees his son interacting with other kids.”That smile launched the McLindon Family Foundation. Funded by donations, the group works with the Childrens Rehab Clinic to find children who can benefit from owning an adaptive bikeand

16、 a glorious red ball of fire slowly rises. Birds have begun to gather in their hundreds in the Changaram wetland in Keralas Alappuzha district. George, with binoculars glued to his eyes, is busy recognizing the birds: “Little egrets, garganeys” He pauses. “But what are those three there? Ah, spot-bi
17、lled ducks,” he says when he spots the typical band of brilliant jade-green on the wings.His binoculars are off his eyes now, but his fingers are flying over his phone screen, typing the names of the species he has sighted on eBird, an app where birdwatchers upload real-time information on species.
18、As a citizen scientist, he has been one Bird for three years and takes pride in being the countrys “eighth best eBirder” based on the number of his check-lists.eBird is just now drawing in ordinary people into the process of ecological (生态学的) science and conservation. Citizen scientists can ask ques
19、tions, volunteer to collect data, and analyse them. For researchers, citizen scientists are a boon: with their large numbers, they can contribute extensive data over vast geographical areas, something trained scientists could not dream of gathering either individually or in teams.While it may appear
20、 to be a new concept, the public has always participated in ecological science, said a team of American scientists in a 2012 study.

With London just the beginning, Food Ink plans to bring its creative restaurant
25、idea to a number of other cities around the globe.Like other 3D applications printing food is a process that builds layers upon layers of material on top of each other. Unlike other 3D printing, which creates objects out of plastic, food materials in 3D printing are loaded into a syringe-like contai
26、ner which are then pressed into the shape required. Any food that can be pureed (研磨成糊) can be used in 3D food printing.Fine dining is only one aspect of the food industry about to be completely changed by 3D printing. Researchers have been exploring ways to fight world hunger with 3D printing. Using
27、 powdered nutritional materials, it could produce large amounts of food to help feed a growing population. This is especially important with the world population predicted to be 8.5 billion by 2030. The 3D-printed food would also have the advantage of being produced cheaply and having a long shelf l
28、ife.The technology will enable consumers to quickly make meals to suit their specific health needs.

However, sending people the
45、re will require all the skill, courage and intelligence of the human race.
