The hippocampus is an evolutionarily conserved brain region that is essential for learning and memory in mammals. Memories of people, places, things, as well as our individual life experiences, are all encoded and recalled by the hippocampus. The Drew and Zemelman labs use viruses to visualize and alter cellular activity to understand how cells interact with one another both within and across regions of the brain during learning processes. By combining anatomical studies with behavioral experiments, researchers can search for patterns of activity in cells and regions and better understand how human memory works. Ultimately, the hope is to apply this knowledge to treat neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease.
In this image, granule cells in the dentate gyrus of a mouse hippocampus glow with fluorescent proteins. The hair-like filaments labeled in red (dendrites) transmit information to the multi-colored cell bodies. The diameter of these granule cells is ~15 microns, or a third the width of a strand of fine human hair.

Global population, conserving fossilised fuel reserves and what the one-time President of the United States of America called the one best way of delivering reversal of global warming. Whatever you think about global warming and global population growth, or whether you think about it at all, most public discussion centres around everything except what to do about it and how, in practical terms, we can deliver it not just for our children but ourselves. This book addresses that question and gives a credible pathway to delivering stability. It does not buck the question of population control; indeed it addresses it head-on in the first chapter with arresting clarity. The logic then moves to the question of fossilised fuel and the production of Carbon dioxide. The delivery of stability for the human population, argues Bill Butterworth, is in the recognition that these two factors have to be controlled and then he moves on to the mechanisms involved in actually delivering stability in our environment and the reversal of global warming. Logically, the author observes that reversal of warming has been done before and done on a global scale. It is how the fossilised fuel reserves were produced in the first place some 360 million years ago; so we know it works and that it will and can be applied globally. What this book does is show how it can be done here and now and it solves another problem, too. The closed loop he describes reverses the pollution created by an expanding human population.

There are only two northern white rhinos left on the planet. They are living in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy: Najin and Fatu, mother and daughter. Poachers have killed most of the other northern white rhinos.
There are also southern white rhinos and black rhinos in Ol Pejeta. They are not so endangered as the northern white rhinos.

Ruby and I had quite an energetic game of fetch and tug with one of her toys, and then she decided that she just wanted to lie down for a while. Having had such fun with my video of her yesterday, I thought I'd try again. Enjoy!

A visit to the London Transport Museum. We had to book in advance an Annual Pass, and select at time before going.
The London Transport Museum (LTM) is a transport museum based in Covent Garden, London. The museum predominantly hosts exhibits relating to the heritage of London's transport, as well as conserving and explaining the history of it. The majority of the museum's exhibits originated in the collections of London Transport, but, since the creation of Transport for London (TfL) in 2000, the remit of the museum has expanded to cover all aspects of transport in the city and in some instances beyond.
The museum operates from two sites within London. The main site in Covent Garden uses the name of its parent institution, and is open to the public every day, excluding over Christmas, having reopened in 2007 after a two-year refurbishment. The other site, located in Acton, is the London Transport Museum Depot and is principally a storage site of historic artefacts that is open to the public on scheduled visitor days throughout the year.
The museum also runs a programme of guided tours, Hidden London, which takes visitors to part of the London Underground that are typically closed to the public, including disused stations and wartime shelters.
The museum was briefly renamed London's Transport Museum to reflect its coverage of topics beyond London Transport, but it reverted to its previous name in 2007 to coincide with the reopening of the Covent Garden site.
In July 2024, the Museum unveiled new branding in an attempt to reflect its coverage of all of London's transport system, not exclusively buses and trains. The new logo - still of roundel design - incorporates all the colours of TfL's transport modes.
The museum's main facility is located in a Victorian iron and glass building that had formed part of the Covent Garden vegetable, fruit and flower market. It was designed as a dedicated flower market by William Rogers in 1871 and is located between Russell Street, Tavistock Street, Wellington Street and the east side of the former market square. The market moved out in 1971, and the building was reopened as the London Transport Museum on 28 March 1980. The collection had been located at Syon Park since 1973 and before that had formed part of the British Transport Museum at Clapham.
On 4 September 2005 the museum closed for a £22 million refurbishment designed by Bryan Avery of Avery Associates Architects to enable the expansion of the display collection to encompass the larger remit of TfL which administers all forms of public transport. Enhanced educational facilities were also required. The museum reopened on 22 November 2007.
The entrance to the museum is from the Covent Garden Piazza. The museum is within walking distance from both Covent Garden Underground station and Charing Cross railway station.

Former market hall. 1871-72 by William Rogers of Cubitts with 1884-86 extensions to Tavistock Street and new west front. Red and white brick with stone and terracotta dressings, glass roofs. Italianate detailing. Tall single storey front to Wellington Street. three bays wide. Arcade of three large arches framing double doors in outer bays and window in centre. Each arch has glazed radiating fanlight and key block, the central window key block with letter "B" for Bedford beneath coronet. Modillion cornice and balustraded parapet. Interior structure of cast iron with glazed clerestories supporting slated roofs and skylights, planned in form of two lofty naves between three aisles. Short east nave returns to form transept crossing the west nave. The Italianate red brick, stone dressed. Tavistock Street front boldly expresses the main structure: the nave and aisle divisions are masked by pilasters between which are spaced semicircular arched openings, a pair of windows to each nave, a window to the west aisle and double doors with fanlights to the middle and east aisles. Above each nave bay is a pedimented attic with large lunette window. Similar feature ends the west transept on west front which is of the same design.

There are five wall-mounted Windsor lanterns to the Tavistock Court elevation of the building, the central one of which is a gas lantern. On the Tavistock Street elevation there are five electric Rochester lanterns suspended from the canopy, plus a gas-powered Railway lantern at the east end. This gas lantern is similar in design to the Rochester lanterns but is smaller in diameter and a rare survivor of its type.

The Students Sea Turtle Conservation Network [SSTCN] is a voluntary group, mainly comprising students who have been working in the beaches of Chennai in the state of Tamil Nadu, India, since 1988, trying to conserve and create awareness about the endangered Olive Ridley sea turtle [Lepidochelys Olivacea].
These turtles nest on our beaches at night, between December and April every year. During this season we patrol two 8-kilometer stretches of the coast every night looking for their eggs, which we collect and relocate to a safe place. When the turtle hatchlings emerge 45 days later, we release them safely into the sea. Without this work, nests will be poached or destroyed by dogs and any emerging hatchlings will be disoriented by the bright lights on the beach and not reach the sea at all.
