Jesse Burke
Bloom imperfect
Jesse Burke (above), making a flower holding was the task of dreams. “When you send me to a farm,” he says, “You ever send me my favorite place to talk to your favorite people ever.” Burke felt “kinship” with Maine-based flower farmers, the story of this daughter about the sustainable foreculture, written by journalists and American scientific Contribution editor McKennaren Marin. He and his family have named Rhode Island’s “sweet bean”; Chickens, pigs and pet pet rabbits (“Imagine Boston Terrier (size), but it’s a rabbit with giant ears”).
Burke often connects the world of science and art. For this shot, it brought a macro lens to achieve specific photos of the structures of the gardens. Close, flower centers seem almost fireworks, he says. Specializes in something that calls the environmental portrait, or is known to catch people in nature and their photo series Wild and preciousHis young daughter makes beaches, mountains, forests and canyons. This type of photo is “raw and wild,” he says. “It has been a great tool for my children and nature and my children and my children.”

McKennaren Marin
Bloom imperfect
When journalist McKennaren Marin He lived in Maine’s part-time, intriguing local flower breeders in farmers’ markets. “I wanted to know how the main and very cheap products that saturate the world and very cheap products work.” He says. In the story about this topic, he investigated the damage associated with the perfect flowering that you can find in the grocery store and followed the movement of small farmers who are growing with the local character.
McKenna began public health in the 1990s, when he investigated the set of cancer sets about the former nuclear plant of Ohio. He has learned an important lesson in his report: “Most of the time is not the wicked world,” he says. “Most of the time people seem to have good reasons at the time,” but their actions have unintentional effects. Take, for example, excessive use of lifestyle antibiotics: two subjects in his books, created legions that are resistant to “superbugs”.
Using these drugs in flower farming is mostly flying under the radar regulator. “We forget that the flowers are crop,” he said, and not fribol. From the theaters to the holiday celebrations, flowers are usually the center of our most important cultural traditions. “The beauty of the flowers in flowers is very important for our lives.”
Dakotah Tyler
Missing planets
As a football player at the university, Dakotah Tyler His sport lived in structured life. Then he was injured. “That passion and that goal is not to create a gap,” he noted. But in his absence, a new fascination was created. While watching astronomy documentaries, Tyler was enchanted by the world’s ideas outside our solar system. “I remember thinking that it was probably done outside the glass and maybe they were completely diamonds,” he said. Now his doctor ends. In Astrophysics of the University of California, in Los Angeles, Tyler examines the mysterious rules that regulate planet formation, which he wrote about this issue.
Exoplanet research is full of surprises. Take a planet class called hot jupitors, for example. At one time, “we didn’t even think that they weren’t possible,” he says, “everywhere.” Exoplanet studies continue to capture his imagination. If the universe did not create a glass planet, it could cause an unclean surface with frozen ice clouds, like a fictional planet, in his favorite film, Inmate? It seems that he was as far away once, Tyler says. The reality is much more complex than what we think is more complex and much more interesting.

After graduating from the University of Geology and Studio, Jen Christiansen He had a simple goal: “It’s not possible to choose each other’s time for the most time.” So far, it hasn’t yet. Christiansen has been working American scientific It has been 19 years old and currently oversees many graphical data display and explanations on each topic. This usually means assigning projects to other researchers and artists. This month, however, he had the opportunity to discover many graphics, atomic clocks, salt-tolerant plants, creative intuition and knots. “He was pleased to see (these projects) to the end,” he said.
Complex science can be digested into graphics that can be like a puzzle and Christiansen is the hardest is most rewarding. Usually it involves the areas of physics or chemistry, where there is nothing rarely look at, “he explained. But also, despite objectives, physical objects can extend our intuitive abilities. In this matter Graphic Science ColumnWritten by the main editors of space and physics Clara MoskowitzChristians shows the way we judge the strength of knots. “They are like optical illusions,” he says that they defy our physical physical reasoning, and remind us of “how to slow down and ask” people can interpret their illustrations differently than their illustrations.
