biomedicalephemera: Shoebills!
I know you all have seen the intimidating shoebill gifs going around…it’s typical of them to look like that, by the way. Even the first time they were described, they were called “menacing”!

Bipolar: Scott Sternbach at the Earth’s Extremes
In 2008, the photographer Scott Sternbach travelled to the world’s southern extreme to create “Antarctic Souls,” a project that focussed on the thirty-odd researchers, biologists, cooks, pilots, and boat captains who are involved in a federal project to study the effects of global warming on the region. Sternbach, who currently serves as the director of photography at LaGuardia Community College, has long dreamed of visiting the far north as well. He recently got his chance thanks to a grant from CUNY, which sent him to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, in Alaska, where he spent eight weeks photographing one of the state’s last living tribes, the Neetsaii Gwich’in.
