In the spirit of the upcoming Paralympics this guy should get a medal! 2,000 miles pushing yourself forward in a wheelchair is just epic. 

Reshared post from +BBC News

Meet Zack – the man who is pushing himself across Africa.

Zack has been a wheelchair user since he was shot in a car-jacking. There is no specialist spinal care unit in his country, Kenya. So Zack is raising the money to build one – nearly two million pounds.

To do this he is pushing himself 2,000 miles – from Nairobi to South Africa.

Watch Zack on his journey: http://bbc.in/QUkzpC

Super Science Circle – August 2012 Edition

It's time again for the latest edition of my Super Science Circle. If your stream is stale, import this shared circle and never want for knowledge again. And if anyone ever tells you Google+ is a ghost town, point them at this circle and demand they import it.

Please reshare this list, to help it spread wide and far. Do it! For Science!

If you're interested in my criteria, the circle contains:

1. People active on Google+
2. People who often post about science.

I highly recommend that you import these people into a test circle and then evaluate them over the next month. Move over the people who really delight you to a more permanent circle. Then replace the test circle next month, when I share it again.

If you know anyone who should be included in this list, please let me know.

+Nike  decided to pull out some superb adverts about greatness during this Olympics. Like this one a lot about all the Londons out there where people achieve great things.
