Isabel Chen, a medical student at UBC, is part of a team that has invented a mobile panic button for street-based sex trade workers in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

A voice or text message is first recorded onto a SIM card, which is inserted into a GPS-enabled device such as a pager that would only need to be charged once a week. Pressing a button on the pager activates the GPS and sends an emergency message and GPS location to a contact who can get help. Because the GPS is not activated until the device is activated, the anonymity of the user is preserved.

This is such a great idea I’m surprised it wasn’t already invented years ago!

Mental Floss recently posted a fascinating selection of tattoos on teachers. This one, depicting an enraged Charles Darwin wielding an even angrier King Kong while being menaced by planes, is our favourite. It’s on the leg of a Massachusetts science teacher named Chris:

Chris writes, “I teach science at a public school in eastern Mass. This tattoo was taken from a New Yorker cartoon that my wife and I both have hanging in our classroom’s (she teaches science, too). Most people think it’s her Dad…there is a resemblance. When told it’s Charles Darwin, too many people reply, “Who’s Charles Darwin?”. It’s kind of sad. I call this Darwin Kong, the establishment trying to destroy Darwin for the same reason it destroyed Kong, it just didn’t understand him.”

Darwin Kong = Awesome

Less talk, more science AND ape-related tattoos!

Head over to Mental Floss to view more tattooed teachers.
