The World Science Festival posted this twitpic of the life-sized model of the Webb Telescope now on display in New York City’s Battery Park.

A full-scale model of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will be unveiled in New York City’s Battery Park this morning to kick off the World Science Festival.
The telescope, scheduled to be launched in 2014, will look further back in time than any telescope before, allowing us to observe the first galaxies formed in the universe and the planets around distant stars. The model—80 feet long and 37 feet wide (as big as a tennis court)—will be on view in the park for the next six days.

British psychologist Richard Wiseman has posted another online survey, this one as part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival.
Take the short questionnaire and help him find out which of the seven deadly sins people indulge in the most.

Save the date: The winner of the 2010 Templeton Prize will be announced at a news conference (and live Web cast) at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., on March 25 at 11 a.m EDT. The prize, valued at more than 1.5 million dollars (the largest annual monetary award given to an individual), honors someone who has made “an exceptional contribution to affirming life’s spiritual dimension.” You can register for the Web cast here.
