I love making bird portraits with studio lighting, it truly highlights their sublime nature. Against a black background, the elegant features of this Oriental Pied Hornbill (Anthracoceros albirostris) take center stage.

Podcasts are powerful tools for sharing concepts and ideas across disciplines, but written forms are more enduring and better suited for the long-term preservation of knowledge.

The Lorenz attractor, where math meets chaos.
A simple system of three equations gives rise to this stunning, butterfly-shaped pattern.
Proof that deterministic systems can be beautifully unpredictable.

When someone says “look me in the eye” and you’re a fruit fly with 6,000 of them. 😅
A front-facing SEM view of Drosophila melanogaster’s compound eyes—each packed with hundreds of ommatidia for fast visual processing.

Ever seen one of these giant dirt towers in the wild and thought,
“What’s that?!”
It’s not just a pile of mud.
It’s a termite castle — and it might blow your mind.
Let me take you inside.

To sum it up:
• Giardia is a eukaryote
• It lacks mitochondria
• Uses mitosomes instead
• Survives via anaerobic metabolism
• Gives insight into early cell evolution & adaptation
Pretty wild for a gut bug.

The equipment comes with the original package. Yet it is by no means unusual equipment; I believe large numbers of people have at least some talent as writers, and that those talents can be strengthened and sharpened. If I didn’t believe that, writing a book like this would be a waste of time.
