Dan Lockwood
Born and raised in western and eastern Canada, I took a bachelor's degree in earth sciences before moving to South Korea and then Thailand to work as a teacher. After a few years of teaching English, I began to apply my degree to soil testing and earth-based construction projects with the Dragonfly Community Foundation in Thailand, as well as to writing science articles for kids and adults alike. I like to write about fun science facts, science news, inventions and technology. In my spare time, I wonder about everything and play the drums.

If you’ve ever been frazzled trying to think about how to convert American or Imperial measurements into metric, you’re not alone. In 1999, some of the brightest people in the world working at NASA managed to crash the Mars Climate Orbiter into the red planet, all because of confusion between traditional units and metric. Well,
