North Bay Beach in Scarborough, England, features a wide stretch of golden sand bordered by a scenic promenade, with the dramatic headland of Scarborough Castle visible in the distance. The area is popular for leisurely walks, family outings, and offers stunning views of the North Sea, especially during sunrise and sunset.

"The unexpected finding that vaccination-only participants showed superior cross-neutralization compared to individuals with hybrid immunity challenges conventional assumptions about hybrid immunity advantages."
Translation: Covid vaccines alone do a better job of preventing infection than previous Covid infection plus vaccine.
This is contrary to what people expected (arguing that infection plus vaccine would be stronger)
Interpretation: Covid can wreck your immune system, so that you don’t form immunity well to subsequent immune challenges like vaccination (and other infections)

Winner – portfolio: Priscilla
‘About the size of a dumpling, the southern dumpling or bobtail squid are treasured photography subjects. These nocturnal creatures emerge cloaked in vivid colours as if wearing shimmering eye makeup. Usually timid, they tend to hide when seen. This one however, affectionately named Priscilla, happily lingered, posing for a photoshoot.’ Gadigal country, Sydney, New South Wales.

Winner – macro: Liftoff
‘Vertical migrations are some of the most remarkable in the world. Billions of animals hide in deep waters and then travel to the surface at night to feed under the cover of darkness. This paper nautilus hitched a ride on a passing jellyfish – a truly unique and magical encounter on one of the world’s greatest vertical currents.’ Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

in reply to Arnold Schiller • • •Das Bild zeigt eine Bahnhofsbahnsteig mit moderner Architektur. Im Vordergrund befindet sich ein Metallgeländer mit horizontalen Streben, das einen Sitzplatz schützt. Der Sitzplatz ist leer und besteht aus Metall. Über dem Sitzplatz hängt ein gelbes Schild mit der Beschriftung "2 ID". Im Hintergrund ist ein Teil des Bahnhofsgebäudes mit großen Glasfronten zu sehen, die das Sonnenlicht hereinlassen. Die Sonne scheint von rechts und erzeugt ein warmes Licht, das durch die Glasfronten fällt. Auf der linken Seite des Bildes ist ein Teil eines Automaten zu sehen, der wahrscheinlich für den Ticketkauf oder die Fahrscheinnachforschung dient. Die Umgebung wirkt sauber und gut gepflegt, mit einem gepflasterten Boden und einer modernen Infrastruktur.
