Last December you showed some cool images from Prof. Georg Duesberg’s group of atomically thin nano Christmas trees.The research centre I work in (CRANN/AMBER) in TCD recently announced the winners of its annual scientific image competition, which highlights some of interesting nanomaterials research going on in Dublin and the rest of Ireland.

Children were minded.

Minds were chilled.

So, this is the now annual Synge Street street feast in Dublin 8. As usual, it went on well into the night without issue. All thanks to Sharon Greene of “Queens of Neon” fame, not to mention Elaine McGrath,  Lex Woo and Dermot of “Mr. Whippy Sound System” fame, as well as several Synge Street residents who each year provide food.

A sequence of images captured last year at Kitsap, Washington by photographer Phoo Chan. Sez he:

Crows are known for aggressively harassing other raptors that are much bigger in size when spotted in their territories and usually these ‘intruders’ simply retreat without much fuss. However, in this frame the crow did not seem to harass the bald eagle at such close proximity and neither did the bald eagle seem to mind the crow’s presence invading its personal space. What made it even more bizarre was that the crow even made a brief stop on the back of the eagle as if it was taking a free scenic ride and the eagle simply obliged.
