Serial No. 3817131

From her series Serial No. 3817131
At an age when social, sexual, and educational explorations are at their highest point, the life of an eighteen-year-old Israeli girl is interrupted. She is plucked from her home surroundings and placed in a rigorous institution where her individuality is temporarily forced aside in the name of nationalism. During the next two years, immersed in a regimented and masculine environment, she will be transformed from a girl to a woman, within the framework of an army that is engaged in daily war and conflict. She is now a soldier serving her country, in a military camp amidst hundreds like her, yet beneath the uniform there is someone wishing to be noticed, listened to, and understood.

Boneyard

The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), also known as the Boneyard, is a four square mile site in Arizona housing 4,000 retired aircraft—or at least one of almost every US armed forces plane since WWII.
Google Earth has recently released this gorgeous (in a maudlin sort of way), 1.5MB satellite view of the facility. You can see the entire shot over on the BBC, and if you’re annoyed by their tiny frame, just right click the magnified version to “view image” to see the entire thing. You can also just check it out through Google.
For those of you thinking the Boneyard is a rotting pile of our tax dollars, well, it sort of is. But the base claims that for every $1 invested here, $11 are returned through salvaged parts (and it’s easier than dropping off a rusting B52 at the local recycling facility).

COS Cell or Crab Nebula

COS Cell or Crab Nebula? COS cells like this one are engineered to make human forms of two proteins thought to regulate the structure of heart cells. “Staining the proteins with fluorescent antibodies allows us to see their location in the cell, and also produces images resembling something one would see from a space telescope, much less a microscope.” Joseph Dwyer, King’s College London

Looking Through the Heart

Looking Through the Heart. When fatty plaques are deposited in our arteries, white blood cells move from the blood into the vessel wall, and the wall becomes inflamed. The cells in this image are producing actin (red) and collagen (green). The cells’ nuclei are coloured blue. “Both actin and collagen play a key role in recruiting white blood cells when tissue becomes inflamed. A better understanding of how white blood cells interact with different components of the vessel wall will help us identify new ways to treat the inflammatory conditions that underlie cardiovascular disease.” Dr Mathieu-Benoit Voisin & Miss Doris Proebstl, William Harvey Research Institute, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary, University of London

Heart Foundation

The Tree of Life: “The muscle cells of the heart intertwine like the branches of a great banyan tree. This intricate structure is essential for generating force to pump blood around the body.” The image shows the orientation of cells deep within the heart, visualised with 'multiphoton fluorescence microscopy'.
