Thanks for the link Evo. The images there are incredible! I wonder how they took of it so well.

My favorites: Cell division and gene expression in plants, Wheat infected with ergot fungus, and Blood clot on a plaster. Never in a million years would I be able to guess what those images were.

Thanks for posting the link- these are amazing.

If you play the "light microscopy" video (under techniques), you'll get a nice interview with Spike Walker, and see some of his equipment. I also have an Ultraphot III (the big beast around 4 minutes) - if you haven't seen one in action, definitely check out the video. Spike is a true gentleman, and is very approachable.

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
