First Appearance - Batman #8 (Dec/Jan 1941)
Professor Henry Ross discovers a way to bring men back to life using radium. His fellow scientists do not believe him, so Henry experiments on himself. He takes some poison, leaving the serum and instructions for his assistant. Ross does return to life, but he is radioactive and kills anyone he touches.
Ross puts on a protective suit and begins stealing volitell to create a cure for his condition. Batman and Robin tangle with him, but eventually the condition warps Ross’s mind, turning him insane. Ross is dubbed Professor Radium and continues to menace the city. Batman eventually confronts Radium, and a struggle ensues. Radium plunges to his death in a river, ending his restored life.

The Port Macquarie area has a program of commissioned painted koalas. These painted koalas are at various locations around the area. Charles Sturt University recently commissioned an artist to paint this koala for its campus at Port Macquarie. I'd like to introduce you to Professor Eugene Eucalyptus, the latest koala to join the koala trail at Port Macquarie.
Explorer, Adventurer, Scholar. A fine fellow of decency and honour - the very chap to put dastardly masterminds and diabolic cults in their place.

I built these for a feature in issue 20 of Blocks magazine. They were a lot of fun to work on, and posed some interesting challenges, particularly Mystique.
Having been interested in politics since I was a child, it was something of a thrill when Professor Anthony King (1934-2017) came into town a couple of years ago to give a talk at the Richmond Literary Festival. I mention this now because I was much saddened to hear of his death this week, at the age of 82.
As well as being Millennium Professor of British Government at Essex University, Professor King was one of the world’s leading psephologists (analysts and interpreters of election statistics). He was also an Honorary Life Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts; a Fellow of the British Academy; a former Member of the Committee on Standards in Public Life; a Member of the Royal Commission on the Reform of the House of Lords; and Chairman of the Royal Society of Arts Commission on Illegal Drugs, Communities and Public Policy. He also served as an associate at the Institute for Government, a non-partisan charity that aims to improve the effectiveness of central government in the UK.
If that weren’t enough, in his latter days he researched the changing British constitution; the British prime ministership; American politics and government; and the history of democracy.
A former Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford; Visiting Scholar at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University; and Visiting Professor of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, Anthony King was a frequent broadcaster and the author of countless books on the state of politics.
For many years this truly remarkable man was my psephological hero, so when he came into town in November 2014 I was delighted and engrossed by his stimulating and entertaining talk on the subject of ‘the blunders of our governments’ – of which there have been many. Here is my photograph of him.

One final kitten has joined the menagerie at my farm.
Professor Floof spends his days contemplating the deep and inscrutable questions of the universe.
"Why is it imperative that I be picked up whenever I am on the ground, yet equally urgent that I be put down whenever I am picked up? It is a mystery wrapped in an enigma."
That's Augustus Barclay Yaffle to you. They animated him for me, for his picture to be taken. I was floating on clouds of nostalgic delight.
I would love to meet the eminent Professor Forgotten Password. They have published extensively in many different fields and been widely cited! At least, according to Google Scholar, which is full of mistaken "identities" like this, it even thinks I'm Maurice Wilkins. Duh.
Found these anomalies via Péter Jacsó at the University of Hawaii who says:
"After seeing left and right author names like F. Password, V Findings, N Vietnam, S.Vietnam, it was surprising to notice one of the new software features of Google Scholar, the cluster of authors related to the user’s query as explained in the help file. My test search shows the suggested authors from a set of purportedly 2,9110,000 records on the topic of risk factor evaluation with the following names: P Population, R Evaluation, M Data, R Findings and M Results. Google Scholar flaunts its software deficiencies and does not provide any hints about the limitation of the software" see [1]
Well what can you expect from Beta software?
Professors Ann Arbor, Milton Keynes, Already Registered, Access Denied and Please Login are all pretty active in their fields too. But it is probably best to leave the last word to a certain Mr Conclusion and a Mrs Future Work, from the University of Unfinished Software.

This is a portrait of Professor Richard Wiseman from his 2014 Fringe show (with The Creative Martyrs) 'And the Goat Remained a Goat', at the Voodoo Rooms.
The show was about Harry Price: ghost hunter, psychic investigator, conjurer and debunker.
Here, Professor Wiseman is illuminated only by a small torch, he was holding underneath his face. In colour, it didn't look great as an image. It was VERY red and his nostrils and upper lip were pretty much blown out. Oh, and this was taken at 20,000 ISO. essentially "heart of darkness" in photographic terms.
I converted it to Black and White...and also processed the image in two different ways (one for the nostrils/upper lip...and one for the rest of his face)...and combined them with layer masking.
This is the second interesting (well, at least I think so!) black and white portrait I've taken of Professor Wiseman under "challenging" lighting conditions.
You can see the first (which is one of my all-time favourite portrait shots), here:
Professor Wiseman lectures in psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, is a successful author, a highly entertaining speaker, a YouTube sensation with many videos that go viral, and a magician.
