I don’t know about you, but since I am getting older I realize there are things that I find scarier as before. For example, when I see kids learning to ski, I always wonder at the ease with which they let themselves go down a mountain, while I cannot stop thinking if by the time…
I know it seems like forever since there was any news on this regard but not long ago in the german newspaper Die Zeit they referenced Science’s initiative to reward science’s best ways to illustrate science: The Visualization Challenge. Being able to conjugate meaningful science and beauty might seem challenging but the awarded show it’s…
Sometimes it can be hard to juggle the increasingly demanding tasks of a normal day: a hectic day at work, attending to a house, enjoying something of a social life…Getting to the end of the day without going crazy and/or feeling sick feels like an odisey in those stress dominated periods.

It was long since I brought some really cool pictures to you, but no worries because the winners from the Olympus Bioscapes 2011 just came out and here I show you some of my favourites, even if I don’t totally concur with the opinion of the jury on the classification of the winners. To me…
