Do airplanes protect themselves the same way with snow and colder temperatures as they do rain or thunderstorms?
I think everyone did a great job on the shirt ideas! All of them were brilliant.
I loved the way Mr. Billings had said that you don’t need to memorize physics and chemistry to become an inventor.

I LOVE SCIENCE LIVE
I love R51!
loved shirts 6, 10, and 51. 51 was, in my honest opinion, deserves an award. The beauty of it is unmatched. I would buy 7 vigintillion of them if i could. Thank you, R-51, for this absolute masterpiece. Watching it get created was like watching the Mona Lisa get painted. Once again, thank you, R-51.
Todays Science live was fun (by the way this is my time watching one ever I just started Acellus on Monday of this week)!
I love all of the inventioneered shirts! Especially the Sam 51 one. .Also,the Issac Newton quote was so wise. Thank you Dr. Roger Billings and Ms. Pajet Monet for another amazing episode of Science Live!
I think shirt 51 is the best, because it’s got stolen information, stickers that don’t even fit in the shirt, and R-51 all over.
I want YOU…
To vote for shirt 3 cuz it’s the best
Does R-51 have any friends? If not, I will be his friend.
We love you Dr Roger Billings and Dr Pajet Monet. Thank you for your guidance on T-shirt and inventioneering creation.
