Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, Lisbon Portugal
Charles Correa Associates designed this research and diagnostic centre located in Lisbon. It is a state-of-the-art facility guided by some of the best scientist in the world. The site, where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean, is steeped in history. It is the site where Henry the Navigator, Vasco de Gama and other great Portuguese left on their journeys into the unknown—a perfect metaphor for the discoveries of contemporary science today. The 3 units that constitute the project are:
•the largest for the doctors and scientist,
•the second for the theatre, the exhibition hall, the foundation offices, etc,
•the third is an open-air amphitheatre for the city.
They have been arranged to create a 125m long pathway leading diagonally across the site, towards the open seas. This pathway is ramped up at a gentle slope of 1:20, so as you ascend, you see only sky ahead of you. At the end of the ramp are two stone monoliths, straight from the quarry. When you reach the highest point, you begin to see a large body of water, which seemingly connects (i.e. without any visual break) to the ocean beyond. In the centre of this water body, just below the surface of the water, is an oval shaped object—made of stainless steel and slightly convex, so that it reflects the blue sky and passing clouds above.
Beyond its scientific importance, the centre’s design has also caught the attention of architects around the world. The bid to design the site was won by Indian architect Charles Correa, who also designed the Brain and Cognitive Sciences Complex at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The centre features a large interior rainforest connecting clinics and laboratories, chemotherapy suites with gardens, and many areas open for public use, including exhibition halls, an outdoor amphitheatre and landscaped walking areas. It is hoped that the location of the centre in the heart of Lisbon, as well as the openness of the site to the public, will encourage awareness of the centre and the Champalimaud Foundation, as well as the health and medical issues that their work is aiming to address.

A good looking project 😉 This German Aerospace Center, DLR-EAC Retinal Diagnostics project helps examine astronaut eyes on the International Space Station. With the help of an ophthalmic lens, which we attach to the camera of our tablets, and ESA - European Space Agency's ECOS operations support team on the ground we take and send images of our retina for analysis by experts 👀 These images are used to detect visual disorders that are common in space and to train an Artifical Intelligence (AI) model for future diagnosis. However, because this app is so compact and easy-to-use, it can also help in performing remote examinations and ensuring eye health in hard-to-reach places on Earth. www.esa.int/About_Us/EAC/Artificial_intelligence_for_eye_...

Companion diagnostic tests show which patients could be helped by a drug and which patients would not benefit, and could even be harmed.
The recent approval of a genetic test to help doctors prescribe a drug that treats colorectal cancer is just one example of the increasing importance of companion diagnostic tests in personalized medicine to ensure the safety and effectiveness of targeted therapies.

At the diagnostic center hangs this quilt, made by Amish hands. According to the sign, the quiltmakers have a fascinatino with this pattern, even though the Amish don't wear wedding rings. Their interest seems to lie in the difficulty of quilting, with exactness, in a pattern of all circles, and also in the seriousness with which they take marriage.

Camponotus innexus
Subfamily: Formicinae
Family: Formicidae
Order: Hymenoptera
Diagnostic description translated from Emery (1920) by Chat-GPT:
"Diagnostic description of the genus Camponotus
I group under this name a number of species from Australia and neighboring lands, which may or may not have characteristics common to all, but which constitute a set that, if not homogeneous, is at least such that I cannot usefully divide it.
In the small worker, the head generally has parallel lateral edges; most often, it is compressed from one side to the other; the eyes are usually positioned quite far back. In the major worker and the queen, the head is wide, often with the vertex strongly swollen (a characteristic of the subgenus Myrmophyma). The epistome is variable, with or without a lobe, and the lobe may be rounded or squared, sometimes toothed or notched; often, the lobe, which is quite evident in the minor workers, becomes indistinct in the larger ones. The mandibles are strongly arched. The profile of the thorax is variable: sometimes it is uniformly arched with the declivous face of the propodeum more or less abrupt; sometimes the promesonotum forms a hump, and the propodeum is slightly arched or even saddle-shaped (a characteristic of the subgenus Myrmocamelus); or the concavity of the propodeum becomes pronounced (Myrmosaga subgenus). The pronotum is sometimes more or less obtusely margined (C. innexus, aeneopilosus, inflatus, etc.). The petiole is more or less thick, and in C. hoplites, it is armed with a spine.
This subgenus transitions to Myrmoturba through C. testaceipes and claripes, and to the following subgenus through species with a short and uniformly arched thorax."
