Sadly, applications to the Advanced Python summer school have dropped significantly over the past 2 years.

Plus, there'll be no external funding for the 1st time in *17 years*.

Likely all because of GenAI - but programming skills still matter🔥

Deadline May 3, please help by sharing:
aspp.school

There are Science papers and then there are *I just dropped and shattered my mug of coffee Usual Suspects style* Science papers www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A lone figure stands on a sandy Chicago beach past a pari of upturned boats. Abstract forms -- protesters marching and holding signs -- just begin to bleed into the image's top left corner

A black and white photo of the neighbor's very affectionate dog, squeezing through the fence to say hi, while looking both ghastly and world-wise. Signs, arms and faces appear to come out of the aether around the dog.

A (mostly) normal black and white photo of the No Kings protest. The courthouse in Lafayette, IN is framed between a US and Ukranian flag.

A clearly-double exposed photo of protesters holding signs with dour expressions, while a dog is groomed overhead, shoes and dog toys splayed across the floor.

Happy accidents in double-exposing a roll of Fuji 400 during the #NoKings protest a few weeks ago

A black and white infrared photo of a couple crossing the street with their dog. Cable car lines hang overhead.

A black and white infrared photo of a group of kids walking by a bank with large, stately columns.

A black and white infrared photo of a condominium. The shot is flipped upside down to give a sense of vertigo.

A black and white photo of three players running from a building's shadow into a brightly lit crossing. One is holding a cardboard shield.

A close-up action shot of a player mid-stride, their nerf blaster held in both hands.

A close up photo of three players in a tactical run towards opposing fire.

An unknowing bystander, coffee in hand, is caught in the conflict, surprised to see players holding NERF blasters around the corner

Stumbled into a "Campus Clash" NERF battle last weekend while on a photo walk. Shot on Ilford HP5.

GIF'd the Artemis II crew's touchdown to the Pacific. Wow!

Three parachutes and a space capsule against dark blue ocean.

🌎 NASA's Artemis II mission has splashed down and all four astronauts are reported safe, bringing an end to a stunning flight around the moon. www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa...

What the last five minutes before reentry look like aboard #Integrity (you can see the plasma build up in the last frame!)

Couldn’t agree more, Dean. Good morning from the states!

One photo every 15 seconds over the last 30 minutes before NASA's special coverage for #Artemis II started

screengrab of live feed of Artemis II as it approaches Earth

Losing my mind over this. I have a machine in my lap on which I can periodically toggle over from something else I'm doing on the machine to watch a SPACESHIP return from THE MOON. Earlier I could hear the SPACESHIP'S PEOPLE as they talked to other people LOCATED ON MY PLANET BUT VERY FAR FROM ME.

A screen capture of the Artemis II livestream taken a 16:48 Eastern time. The Integrity's rear thrusters can be seen just overlapping the half of the Earth in nighttime shadow.

A photo from the Artemis II livestream taken at 17:38 eastern time. One of Integrity's solar panels is now visible. the Earth appears slightly larger.

Watching the Earth slowly fill more and more of the frame as the #Artemis II crew gets ready for atmospheric reentry.

Just amazing.

A shot from the highline north down an NYC avenue. Lens compression is extremely evident here, and only made possible by the long focal length.

A photo of a squirrel sheepishly holding onto a fencepost while appearing to look at the camera.

A couple sets up a red kite to fly, contrasting against aqua waters of the pacific in the background. Right before this one of them got down onto a knee, which prompted the snapping (turns out, just unlacing their shoes).

A photo looking south from Chicago's millennium park around sunset. The clouds in the background take on a cotton-candy appearance against green glass skyscrapers and red scaffolded elevators.

Some more photos with the 73-300 from I came across from 2022/2023 while migrating photos to my SSD

A soft, dreamy photo of a pine-laden spit out onto Lake Tahoe from the roadway several hundred feet above. Mountains are visible in the background dissolving into haze and puffy cloud.

A close up photo of a squirrel having a snack in early fall; green and yellow splotches can just be made out in an otherwise bokeh-ball erased background. Rain drops can also be seen in the image, caught mid-air.

A golden sunset photo of two silhouetted people walking by each other at the Albuquerque balloon festival.

A bright, airy photo of the Voss model on Purdue University's campus in early summer. The model is a fiery red/orange/yellow/white metal structure some 30 ft / 10 m in height meant to resemble the sun. It is flanked by green trees and a matte white cloudy sky overhead.

It was only after I started putting a lot of time into photography that I learned about the lens' reputation among Canon shooters...

While it's no longer my preferred (or only) lens, I still quite like a lot of the photos I've taken with it

A vibrant closely-cropped photo of yellow, cyan and blue waterslides.

A black and white photo of a duck in a pond. Ripples and mesh structures in teh water give the photo a sense of texture.

A black and white photo of two geese floating on steely pond water.

A photo of two kids on kit motorbikes. One's bike chain snapped, so the other is pushing them along with an extended foot.

A walk through a local park with the familiar Canon EF 75-300 mm kit lens

A black and white panoramic photo of a flooded field. A bare tree stands in the center of the field on its own patchy grass island.

Almost a year to the day when I pulled off to the side of a country road for this panorama. April showers have again flooded much of the surrounding farmland.

"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

It’s like hearing someone claim “I don’t have an accent”.

By simple virtue of telling a story, you’re expressing some set of values and philosophy, whether they‘re personally reflective or not.

A high contrast black and white long exposure photo (or 1/3s exposure because the photographer didn't bring along an ND filter) of the tail end of the crowd walking across the pedestrian bridge. The courthouse can be seen in the background.

A black and white photo of a woman holding up a paper sign reading "F🖕🏿🖕🏼k Qualified Immunity". Streamers from a kite and their shadows cover the frame from left to right.

A man holds a shark kite up to the wind in the background. Two older protesters walk out frame to the right while reading the signs attached to the kite's line. Two younger protesters duck into frame from the left.

A high contrast black and white photo of a protester holding a small sign that reads "Draft Baron" while looking directly at camera. Their face is partially obscured in shadow from their sign and hat.

A high contrast black and white photo from within the crowd of protesters. A man wearing a keffiyeh holds up a cardboard sign, partially obscuring his face in shadow, that reads "Their greed will kill us all". American flags fill the background.

A wider black and white shot of the protesters from above. A sea of signs fills the frame.

A black and white photo of a quieter moment from the protest. Concentric rings of people walk and sit around a child atop a circular bench who's holding up a sign that reads "Country before Cult".

A black and white photo of protesters walking back and forth up a bike / wheel-chair access ramp while holding signs.

A wider shot of the crowd walking towards WL from Lafayette along the pedestrian bridge. Two people in frog costumes cheer from the sides as people hold signs. The courthouse is visible in the background.

A panoramic crop of people holding cardboard anti-war signs: "N[peace sign for o] war" and "All children deserve peace" atop a Palestinian flag.

A woman holds a pasteboard sign that reads "Your war crimes don't mask your sex crimes". A person, wholly obscured by a frog costume, holds their hands up, looking like they're feigning shock.

A close up photo of a cardboard sign painted as the trans flag. The sign reads "TRANS PEOPLE BELONG IN WEST LAFAYETTE".

No Kings Protest!

Figure 1.1 from Felipe Yasser Elite Guersetti's Doctoral Thesis "Roles of Corrosion Products of Metal Hip Replacements in the Etiology of Adverse Local Tissue Reactions".

No, this study did not assess the efficacy of autoclaves and it did not consider surgical tools.

Instead, the authors placed polyethylene liners on an OR floor, then compared three different disinfecting solutions: CHG, povidone-iodine and 70% ethanol.
