The research vessel R/V Kinfish pressed against the frozen coast of Svalbard. From above the scale is almost hard to grasp. A tiny ship beside a continent of ice, glaciers flowing down from mountains into the Arctic Ocean. #SciArt #Photography
Nobel laureate @demishassabis.bsky.social is redefining discovery. From AlphaGo to AlphaFold, his AI systems are accelerating biology and medicine. I photographed him inside Google’s secretive X labs, where moonshots become science.

Proud of this portrait of someone I really admire: @jenniferdoudna.bsky.social. @cenmag.bsky.social
A lone polar bear pauses on thinning sea ice, blue meltwater opening beneath his feet. The Arctic is no longer a frozen plain but a shifting puzzle, each step measured, each season shorter than the last.
Pamela Bjorkman has spent her career revealing how the immune system recognizes friend from foe. Her early structural work on the major histocompatibility complex reshaped immunology and laid groundwork for modern vaccines and antibody therapies. explorers.com/pamela-bjork... @nationalacademies.org
Well observed
Nobel laureate David Julius in his office at Genentech Hall, April light pouring in over Mission Bay. Behind him a globe, a miniature Taj Mahal, family photos, and a small red pepper. Ordinary objects. One of them changed how we understand pain More: lnkd.in/g8EZ7Mqb #SciArt @nationalacademies.org

Engineering so precise it feels inevitable. The Golden Gate Bridge is not just steel and rivets but a solved problem suspended in wind and salt. Tens of thousands cross it daily without a second thought. When something works this well, it disappears into the fabric of life. #Photography

Antarctic logistics is an act of precision at the edge of the world. At Union Glacier, ALE turns blue ice into runway, fuel into lifeline, weather windows into possibility. Tents snap in the katabatic wind. Every expedition begins here, balanced between risk, science, and raw white silence. #SCIART

This always gives me a small, quiet thrill. Visiting Coit Tower and standing in front of the mural painted by my grandfather, Frede Vidar. He died the year I was born, so I never met him, but time collapses a little in this room. Being here makes him feel close.

In a Mission Bay lab, neurosurgeons Alexander Ksendzovsky and Jon Pomeraniec are growing living neuron networks to compute. The Biological Computing Co is betting brain cells may one day outlearn and out-efficient silicon. Wetware, not wafers. More: explorers.com/the-biologic... #SciArt
Photographer Harry Benson sits like a man who has seen history blink. The Beatles screaming, presidents sweating, wars whispering in hotel corridors. His hands rest easy now, but you can feel the miles in them. A life spent close to the flame, eyes open, waiting for that decisive moment #Photography
Nobel laureate Frances Arnold has had an extraordinary journey from teenage rebellion in Pittsburgh to harnessing AI to evolutionary biology to create new kinds of chemistry.
I sat down with her for a Lunch with the FT in the bistro of Stockholm's Nobel Prize Museum.

“Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.”
David Whyte has spent decades exploring what it means to feel fully alive. He approaches ambition, friendship, loss, and courage not as ideas to analyze, but as realities to be inhabited.

Awesome story about @jenniferdoudna.bsky.social & @jhdcate.bsky.social: cen.acs.org/biological-c...
Edward Burtynsky photographs scale in every sense. Vast industrial landscapes that are beautiful yet quietly disturbing. Mines, waterways, systems of consumption that show how progress and damage are inseparable. A clear-eyed reckoning with the world we’ve built.

There are moments in science when the ground shifts beneath us. Walter Alvarez helped uncover the asteroid impact that ended the dinosaurs and reshaped Earth’s history. From a limestone outcrop in Italy came a world changing theory... #SciArt @nationalacademies.org

worth it
Enrico’s flickers like a memory you’re not sure is yours. Somewhere up there is grace, or maybe just more fog. San Francisco holds its breath, waiting to see what comes next. #Photography
