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.

ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer demonstrates the DLR-EAC Retinal Diagnostics project. He posted these images to his social media on 4 April 2022 with the caption:
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.
Diagnostic New Zealand Storm-Petrel, Fregetta (Pealeornis) maoriana, 18 cm. / 7.1 in.

Breeds only on Little Barrier Island and ranges the Tasman and Coral Seas. Less than 200 remaining. Very fast flying bird.

(Besides what all the guide books show & say which is all good, here is one diagnostic aspect i haven't come across elsewhere)
SO of the 3 Cormorant species we have typically on the BC west coast --these 2 are more of a challenge to sort out.
One detail that i have learned that can be diagnostic is how the lines of neck and bill relate.
On the PECO imagine a broomstick that is rounded on the top. if one was to implant a pen into the middle of the end...that is the effect.
So angle of birds (in photo) on far right & left demonstrate this effect , with the lines on the neck and crown both changing angles towards the bill.
Crudely pictographed by these symbols
3----
i.e.
Pinches down to bill both sides (top & bottom)
On BRAC* the lines of neck under chin flow smoothly /continuously into line of underside of bill.
On the crown the line of 'upperside neck' changes agle towards bill (with forehead stepping down)
D__
Pinches down to bill top only (BRAC*)
Check it out on floating - swimming birds
tell me if it works for you
with 'training of eye" i have found this works well enough ,even discernible on each of PECO in this photo
--as with all field marks one should be citing several to confirm difficult IDs - never depending on just one aspect
