Carnivorous plant photo takes top microphotography prize
Science Recorder | Ellen Miller | Tuesday, December 17, 2013<<A tiny, floating carnivorous plant has been selected from more than 2,000 other images as the winner of the 2013 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition. The tiny plant is native to the U.S.Click to play embedded YouTube video.
The humped bladderwort (Utricularia gibba) is a floating plant that eats microinvertebrates. The winners of the contest were announced at a gala Sunday night. The competition honors light-microscope images and movies of humans, plants and animals subjects around the world. Igor Siwanowicz, a neurobiologist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Farm Research Campus, captured the unique image.
Siwanowicz used the cellulose-binding fluorescent dye Calcofluor to color the cells of the plant so they would become more visible and then magnified the plant 100 times using a microscope, LiveScience explains. Viewers can easily spot the green algae on the surface of the plant, as well as the tiny trigger hairs that help the plant catch food. “BioScapes movies and still images combine Art and science to remind us of the fascination and wonder of the natural world and highlight vital work going on in laboratories.”
The unique carnivorous plant was not the only noteworthy photograph in the contest. The winners are determined based on aesthetics and the science that they depict. One noteworthy image in the top 10 is of a black mastiff bat embryo. The baby bat is still white and hairless, and its wings have just become long enough for it to cover its eyes, in the appropriately named peek-a-boo stage. Other interesting images included a lily flower bud, two baby bugs, and a transparent “glassworm” larva. The photograph of the two bugs, termed “brothers” was taken when they were just two hours old.>>

Well, that's pretty artful, BMAONE, but where's the science?

Re: Combining Art & Science
I was at the Berlin film festival this year and watched a Chilean documentary called El botón de nácar (The Pearl Button). I would describe it as a long poem inerweaving astronomy, the ocean and the political history of Chile. Yes, it's as enigmatic as it sounds! You can see a snippet from the film below. I hope it goes into wider distribution soon. Keep your eyes peeled, everyone...

I think there was a film similar to this one about ESO that was released either last year or in 2013.hwriter wrote:I was at the Berlin film festival this year and watched a Chilean documentary called El botón de nácar (The Pearl Button).
