Pictured here: A mass of tumor cells at center surrounded by several different immune system cells that can attack the tumor in various ways with the help of the camelid antibody fragments called nanobodies.
Full-sized antibodies are already used for cancer immunotherapy, harnessing the body’s various immune-system cells to help kill cancer cells. For example, T cells can be removed from the body and engineered to make a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that includes a human antibody fragment capable of recognizing certain kinds of cancer. Nanobodies can be used in the same tumor-attacking ways, such as targeting proteins to reduce tumor growth or blocking blood vessels from feeding a tumor.

SOCIAL MEDIA BETTER TOURISM
La FORMULA e gli OBIETTIVI
Durante la circa due ore e mezza del Social Media Better Tourism, gli speakers si sono presentati e hanno converserato con il pubblico di Social Media e Turismo.
Ognuno in quindici minuti di tempo, ha contribuito nell’incontro a mettere a fuoco il concetto Better Tourism, in quest’occasione declinato sui Social Media.
Insomma, i Social Media aiutano chi viaggia?
Si, certo.
Ma il quesito di fondo non è questo, il focus di di ToscanaLab 2010 e BTO Educational è sugli “altri”, ovvero tutta l’intera filiera che ruota intorno a chi viaggia, insomma gli operatori economici.
Durante ToscanaLab 2K10 nel panel Internet Better Tourism, BTO Educational ha promosso una conversazione con il pubblico che ha portato alla redazione di un Manifesto “Internet Better Tourism”, all’interno del progetto ancora più ambizioso che prevede la stesura di un decalogo “Internet Better Life” .
L’occasione della Social Media Week vuole essere valorizzata per fare un ulteriore messa a fuoco dei punti condivisi con i partecipanti di ToscanaLab 2K10 e che hanno portato alla stesura del Manifesto Internet Better Tourism.
Internet Better Tourism sarà veramente Better per tutti quando tutti modificheranno i propri comportamenti, si muoveranno verso il web e chi viaggia prenderanno coscienza che qualcosa è cambiato e continua a cambiare molto velocemente.
Ecco i cinque punti del nostro Manifesto, cinque riflessioni che continueremo con il contributo di tutti ad elaborare anche durante incontri come questo Social Media Better Tourism, dentro la Social Media Week.
Passaggio di orizzonte di prospettiva, da “IO + VOI” a “NOI”
Il web come strumento e luogo, non come “fine” per creare e far crescere un legame tra chi viaggia e il territorio. Costruire una relazione come leva principale di una coerente attività di promozione territoriale
Internet come fattore abilitante per allungare l’esperienza di viaggio, con un prima, durante e dopo
Internet Better Tourism quando si colmerà lo sbilanciamento culturale e informativo tra domanda e offerta, oggi tutto a vantaggio del viaggiatore.
Il viaggio come esperienza e il viaggiatore si fa CANALE di quest’esperienza, contribuendo con i propri contenuti e i sui racconti alla costruzione della storia del viaggio, con al centro il territorio e INSIEME a chi gli offre i servizi
La LOCATION
La Social Media Week, il festival della rete è veramente un evento straordinario: dal 20 al 24 Settembre Bogotà, Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, Mexico City e Milano si connettono proponendo cinque giorni di eventi creati per la maggior parte dal basso, da persone e da aziende che hanno qualcosa da dire sul tema Social Media.
Milano ospita ben novanta appuntamenti sparsi in città: per Social Media Better Tourism dentro la Social Media Week la scelta è caduta su Blend Tower, a soli cinquanta metri dalla Stazione Centrale.
Un grattacielo che ospita anche un business center molto adatto al nostro evento: Social Media Better Tourism del 22 Settembre (inizia alle 10.00 precisissime, venite un po’ prima) è al 3° piano del Blend Tower, piazza IV Novembre al numero 7, sala riunioni 1.
SOCIAL MEDIA WEEK
Proposta per la prima volta a New York nel 2009 e giunta alla terza edizione, la Social Media Week arriva anche in Italia: a Milano dal 20 al 24 settembre 2010.
Una fondamentale occasione di incontro per tutte le persone interessate al mondo dei Social Media, in ambito business e consumer.
Questa nuova edizione della Social Media Week viene organizzata contemporaneamente in 5 città nel mondo: Milano, Los Angeles, Bogotà, Buenos Aires, Città del Messico.
SOCIAL MEDIA WEEK MILANO
In Italia, la Social Media Week si articolerà in oltre 30 eventi gratuiti nell'arco delle 5 giornate, disseminati in numerose location nel Comune di Milano.
Molti eventi saranno spontanei, organizzati da addetti ai lavori del mondo della Comunicazione, appassionati e associazioni mentre altri saranno affidati ad aziende di prestigio che avranno la possibilità di organizzare un proprio evento all’interno della Social Media Week, il festival della rete.
Centro operativo della manifestazione e sede espositiva sarà l’Urban Center in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, nel cuore di Milano.
In particolare, saranno cinque le categorie tematiche su sui si concentrerà l’attenzione degli organizzatori:
Technology, Entertainment (Musica, Sport, Arte)
Brand Communication (Promozione, Advertising),
Made in Italy (Fashion, Design, Food)
Media e Informazione
Digital Opportunities (Occupazione, Urbanistica, Cultura).
Gli eventi, gratuiti e sempre aperti al pubblico, saranno in parte business oriented (con un focus sulle potenzialità che le nuove Piattaforme Social sono in grado di offrire) e in parte consumer cioè pensati e organizzati per attirare il grande pubblico con un'offerta di contenuti culturali inediti e coinvolgenti.
Questo ponendo sempre al centro la persona, la comunicazione social e la scoperta di un nuovo modo di essere e relazionarsi che rappresenta il futuro del Web e del nostro modo di comunicare.

A set of educational playing cards for teaching numbers to kindergarten and elementary school students. I designed it a while ago, but only got around to printing it out now. It's not the whole set -- that would have been too expensive, and as it turns out too unwieldy. But they look great, and the concept is sound, so who knows.
This Great Horned Owl was injured and lost vision in one of it's eyes and is now used for educational purposes at the Willowbrook Wildlife Center.

This is an educational pod at the last level of the Cloud Forest Conservatory which one of the two domes at Gardens by the Bay. It looked really cool but I wanted to really make it pop so I shot it as a bokeh panorama. 72 shots with the 85mm f/1.4 GMaster. Stitched in Photoshop. All the while watching and waiting for people to be out of frame as I panned.

Loreto College Ballarat, a Catholic school for girls was established in 1875 by Mother Gonzaga Barry (1834 – 1915) a member of the order of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary whose members are commonly known as the Sisters of Loreto; a courageous woman with a truly visionary approach that saw her create educational opportunities for girls never before considered in the society of that day. The Loreto Sisters arrived in Australia in response to a request by the Bishop of Ballarat, Bishop O'Connell. The group of ten sisters from Ireland, led by Mother Gonzaga Barry, set up a convent in Ballarat, Victoria and their first girls school, known as Mary's Mount, which today is known as Loreto College.
The Loreto Chapel, or Children’s Chapel as it is known, was built between 1898 and 1902. The architect was William Tappin and the builder George Lorimer. It is built in an English Gothic style with French influences. The stone from which it is constructed is Barrabool Hills sandstone taken from a quarry near Geelong. It also features white stone detailing from Oamaru in New Zealand. Building was interrupted through lack of funds, but the project was finally completed with a large bequest from the German Countess Elizabeth Wolff-Metternich, who had arrived at Ballarat unannounced in 1898, was captivated by the post Gold Rush city and decided to teach German to the Loreto students. A direct descendent of St Elizabeth of Hungary, Countess Elizabeth later found that she loved the peace and simplicity of the Mary's Mount cloister, and informed Mother Gonzaga that she wished to be accepted as a novice. The Mother Superior urged the young woman to return to Germany to discuss her future with her family prior to making a decision. Sadly, Countess Elizabeth was never to return to Ballarat: tragedy struck the RMS India, in the Straits of Messina en route Europe, when Countess Elizabeth died suddenly in April 1899, possibly from cholera, as she was nursing sick passengers on board the ship during its journey. When her will was read, it was found that Countess Elizabeth had left a generous 16,000 pounds to the astonished Mother Gonzaga to `be used as she thought fit'. Funds were once again available to finish the Children's Chapel, but there was to be another, seemingly impenetrable, obstacle: Germany had instituted a law forbidding money to be sent out of the country, so the funds remained frozen in Germany indefinitely. However, Countess Elizabeth's relatives contacted their distant relative, Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany (eldest grandson of England's Queen Victoria and Prince Albert) to petition that the funds be released for the Australian convent. It was only through the direct intervention of the Kaiser that the law was waived in this particular case. The Children’s Chapel was officially opened in December 1902.
The inside of the Children’s Chapel is decorated in soft pastel colours with artwork and statuary donated to the Sisters of Loreto by families in Ballarat and back in Ireland. The Rose Window over the Organ Gallery depicts Saint Cecilia the patron saint of music, surrounded by symbols of the four Evangelists, Matthew Mark Luke and John. The windows over the alter depict the instruments of the Passion of Christ. The marble alter features the Nativity scene as was requested by the girls attending Loreto at the time.
