This is the ATC card I made for Penny Nickles. I had a bit of a varigated french knot frenzy! As you can see, I took some artistic license with scale, colour - everything really. I thought it would symbolise spring and rebirth.

I know this is simple but this represents my struggle to combine my love of art and science. It's so hard to pick a major in college. :(

This microscope image taken at 40 times magnification shows the individual cells that make up the root of an Arabidopsis thaliana plant. Next month, 200 five-day-old shoots will fly a roller-coaster ride
on an aircraft to investigate how their cells adapt to altered gravity – from weightlessness to hypergravity.
The Arabidopsis thaliana is a biologist’s ‘go-to’ plant for research, so the species has spent more time in space than most astronauts. The experiment that will be run next month by Franck Ditengou follows a long line of research, led by Klaus Palme, at the University of Freiburg in Germany. Previous experiments have seen the plant fly on both the International Space Station and the Chinese Tiangong-1 space station.
“We want to understand life, to understand how plants know what is up and what is down,” explains Franck. Weightlessness makes plants grow erratically but Franck’s team is looking for the root cause by looking at individual cells for the first time.
The plants will grow in a cassette that is also used on other ESA gravity research platforms, such as sounding rockets or the International Space Station. During the parabolic flight, the roots will be filmed continuously to chart their growth.
“You might think that plants move slowly, but in fact they grow very fast,” says Franck. “We had to develop special software that finds the root tip as it quickly grows past the viewfinder.” Young Arabidopsis seedlings grow about 1 cm a day which means that during their time in altered gravity they will grow roughly half as much again at this image’s scale.
The plants will be frozen chemically with formaldehyde at different points during the flight for later analysis. Later, at the University of Freiburg, the plants will be stained and dissected to create an image such as this one.
Each individual cell then needs to be counted, as well as having its length, thickness, volume and any deformations recorded for a proper statistical analysis. Luckily for the team, this job does not have to be done by hand, they have developed new software that will count the cells from the 200 plants automatically. However, no software exists unfortunately to do the painstaking work of staining and imaging each root before the software can process the images.

Biology class sometimes gets boring, so what else is better to do than to get some shots ! I was sitting in class and the teacher was showing some short film on mitosis, (thats the green screen there) nd i figured since im bored and i always found these bio-lab faucets to be so cool i can get a few shots, the point was to show the reflection on the desk and i got it the way i wanted it.. ALSO this was my first time using my kit lens in a very long time that 18mm was a life saver in this case, this is why i want a wide angle lens !!

After each scimitar-horned oryx was fitted with a collar, it was released back into the large yard where the animals have been acclimating to the desert climate.

Thanks to the oryx collaring team, the Scimitar-horned oryx reintroduction project will result in the collection of one of the most comprehensive datasets for any wildlife species returned to its native habitat.
