Kevin's Photoblog

This is a Dictyocha precarentis, the earliest member of the genus Dictyocha.

Here is an SEM photo of Naviculopsis constricta.

Here are two very pretty silicoflagellates, sitting together.  Above
is an unusual Naviculopsis punctilia and below that a Corbisema in
abapical (upside down) view.

Here I am working in Warsaw on the scanning electron microscope (SEM).
Some of you may remember a television interview we did from here two
years ago.

Everyone here is Poland would ask me about Donald Trump, and my
response was always the same – Do not worry, he has zero chance of
winning, indeed if he wins I will eat my hat.  Well, I was in Warsaw
working on the scanning electron microscope on the day after the
election, and he am eating my hat.

This is a chemist shop – apparently for brewing supplies – in Poznań.
Mike, this picture is for you!

In Poznań is the St. Martin Cruisant Museum.  The cruisants there are
on the EU heritage list.  The first picture shows the preparation with
two people from the audience (the person on the right, Pandora, is a
Fulbright).  The second picture shows the cruisants prior to being put
into the oven.

Two scenes from the Poznań old city (stare miasto).  First picture is
of the old city hall (now a museum) and the second of some of the
buildings around the city square.

This is a horse statue / clock just outside the train station in
Berlin, where I met Kate enroute to Poznań.  Large and very
interesting.

This is a wall memorial to Herbert Hoover, in Poznań.  We do not rank
Hoover high due to the Great Depression of 1929 (caused by practices
during the Calvin Coolidge administration), but the man demonstrated
extraordinary competency previous to being elected.  Among his
projects was humanitarian work in eastern Europe after WWI, when there
was widespread famine.  Herbert Hoover is deeply respected in Poland.
