@mc_frontalot the song is so good!!!
Challenge update (after Hack & Craft):
- The dress is 'finished' (though it does need to be hemmed again because it's too long). It took exactly 2 hours. I think this exceeded my 1.5 hour estimate largely because I restricted which tools I could use and that took more time (i.e. paterning out a full length skirt with only an 18" straight edge, using pins instead of clips, double hemming instead of surging and folding once for hems).
- The bra is patterned and cut out (in the picture it's just patterned)
- The socks are patterned and cut out.
Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory’s Aragats cosmic ray research station, Armenia
After the collapse of the USSR, with funding discontinued, the station’s survival seemed uncertain. International grants and support from the Armenian diaspora bridged the gap, allowing Aragats to continue its work.
Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
In 1932, the #cryogenic laboratory led by Lev Shubnikov was the first in the USSR to achieve helium liquefaction, a technological breakthrough that facilitated further research, culminating in the discovery of type II #superconductivity (named the Shubnikov phase) in 1936. These spherical containers were used for the storage of liquid hydrogen.

Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute’s Assy-Turgen observatory, Kazakhstan
In the late-1980s, construction started on a 45-metre-tall pavilion for the observatory’s new 1.5-metre AZT-20 telescope. The dome and the building structure were completed but funding was suspended after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 2014, the institute was able to resume construction using its own resources, and it finally began operating in 2017.
I made a yutuub short for the new song. I never made one of these before! After doing so, I still dislike vertical video. But I get it. Turning phones sideways is hard. https://youtube.com/shorts/wGuR_HLkoxM
Andronikashvili Institute of Physics, Tbilisi, Georgia
As the Soviet quest to develop nuclear capabilities in weaponry and energy progressed, experimental prototype reactors were assembled. The first of the IRT reactors was constructed near Tbilisi. Scientists at the institute accurately modelled conditions found in space, allowing them to study the effects of low-temperature irradiation on various materials.
Usikov Institute for Radiophysics and Electronics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
A new department of the Ukrainian Institute of Physics and Technology, the laboratory of electromagnetic oscillations, was established in 1930. Led by Abram Slutskin, it pioneered research into electrical engineering and electromagnetic waves.
