Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.
Diagram exemplifying eutrophication in coastal water bodies. The process begins with excessive inputs of nutrients (primarily N and P) into the system. These nutrients lead to a substantial increase in primary production (e.g. macroalgae) which eventually results in the transport of vast amounts of organic material to the seabottom. Subsequently, oxygen consumption increases dramatically as organic material starts to decompose while vertical delivery of oxygen through the water column is restricted by thermal and/or saline stratification (i.e. pycnocline). Bottom-dwelling organisms suffocate and/or migrate to other areas.

For the rebranding of Actelion, a biopharmaceutical company, we developed a tool for automatic image generation that enables the generation of a unique, in-itself homogeneous graphic image world out of heterogeneous visual material.
Processing cassava for starch. The hardy root crop cassava is among important staples for food security and income in Southeast Asia, but neglected in terms of investment for scientific research. In January, the World Congress on Root and Tuber Crops in China, Nanning, will place these crops -sweet potato, cassava, yam, taro- center-stage, gathering researchers from Asia, Africa and South America to discuss opportunities and challenges ahead for these vital crops.

Last of large capacity processing vessels installed in major SRS cleanup facility under construction.
The Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) heralded 100% successful completion of a major construction milestone following installation of the remaining four large-capacity tanks integral to the facility’s future processing of 34 million gallons of highly radioactive salt waste currently stored in 47 underground tanks at the Savannah River Site (SRS).
Once operational, the one-of-a-kind SWPF will provide the critical treatment capability needed to fulfill the Department of Energy’s (DOE) cleanup mission to safely disposition Cold War legacy waste and support DOE’s risk reduction priority to empty and close nuclear waste tanks.
These last-arriving over-sized vessels, ranging in volume capacity of roughly 38,000 – 44,000 gallons, join the initial six tanks placed at SWPF last month.
Installation of the ten tanks allows for measurable progression of SWPF construction with piping and facility floors now on tap for completion, along with placement of the facility’s roof.
Manufactured by Precision Custom Components of York, PA, the vessels were all shipped by barge to Hardeeville, SC, and transported via double-drop, wide-load tractor trailers to SRS.
Parsons Government Services of Pasadena, California, is DOE’s prime contractor for designing, building, starting up and operating the SWPF for one year.
Full facility operations are currently scheduled for late 2015.

Women process lobsters for export at a cold storage facility built by FAO in the village of Eyl, Puntland, Somalia. The coastal community in Eyl, Somalia is beating hunger by fishing. FAO kitted their boats with ice boxes so that they can stay out at sea longer, and freezing units to keep their catch fresh, now these fisherfolk have up-scaled their fishing cooperative into an international commercial operation exporting up to 10 tonnes of fish every month to Ethiopia. Once again Somali people prove that they are amongst the most resilient in the world.

A visualisation of 57000 series in the collection of the National Archives of Australia. The area of each square is proportional to the number of shelf metres that series occupies, while the size of the grey void in each square is related to the number of described items in the series. So a square with a large void (thin "walls") has relatively fewer items than one with a small void (thick "walls") - or no void at all. There's a minimum wall thickness of one unit, which is why the smallest squares have no voids. More on the blog, and an interactive version here.

An update to my perlinParticle02 code: Now, rather than generating three buffer images for the x, y, and speed perlin values, it calculates them on the fly. This has the added advantage of being able to animate time, which you can see in the above movie. However, it's also exponentially slower. This movie took about a second a frame, or ten minutes on my 5 year old laptop.

This illiterates a quick post-process of M17 using Photoshop CS4.
With the use of Levels and Curves, much more detail can be extracted from the original exposure. (which was a stack of 6x 45sec subs, no darks. It was a short session as I was testing post-collimation)
The key is not to repeatedly stretch the levels without blowing out the centre of this cluster.
Quick tip: Magic wand the inner of the cluster, feather the selection - then inverse to that you'll only be editing the outer area. Stretch levels. Repeat the process (re-masking the core each time) Then at the end ensure that your RGB are also balanced in the histogram.
-Always keep your histogram showing so you don't clip data.
This image can still look much better if more exposures were used in conjunction with darks, and more time spent processing.
Some people simply never test the limits to see how much data there really is in a file. You might have much more info than you thought. The key is to repeat the process little by little. One big stretch of your levels won't yield the same result. And be sure to mask off areas where you can run the risk over exposing your stars (like blowing out the centre of the cluster) When you edit, you might only want to edit certain part / tones.

Did you know that a complete healing process can take at least a year or more? I don't know why they call it a healing process, I do not think we ever truly heal, we just learn to accept.

Like some people - at their best when soaked in Gin for a year.
It was picking day yesterday. Bottling starts today. I picked enough to make three litres of Sloe Gin. It will be ready to drink in about two years.
