• Photograph by @paulnicklen taken while on assignment in South Georgia, Antarctica for @natgeo. I am often asked whether I get involved when I see a wild animal suffering or dying. As much as possible, I try and be a “fly on the wall” and not get involved in the natural process life and death in the wild. But, to be fully transparent, of course I rescue wild animals all of the time. I have put eagles back in a tree after a big blow, pulled drowning baby elephant seals out of the surf zone and in this case, pulled this dying baby King Penguin chick out of this hole in the ice. At this stage of life, “Oakum Boys” cannot allow their downy feathers to stay soaked as it will prove fatal. He shook off the water and waddled back to the colony. To see how Oakum Boys pack tight in a colony to stay warm, please follow me on @paulnicklen // As we move forward with @sea_legacy we will not be looking to rescue one animal at a time but to protect entire ecosystems through Marine Protected Areas. #MPA #nature #gratitude #wildlife #follow @thephotosociety @natgeocreative by natgeo http://ift.tt/1JlQ5N1

• Photo by @ciriljazbec / Marvin is the CEO of a startup company caled SoftBallot. Their vision is to shape the next generation elections by ensuring secure electronic and online voting. Ngesa is a highly motivated electrical and electronic engineering student from Nairobi. His dream is to revolutionise Kenyan elections by allowing voting to be done on an online platform visible and usable by every Kenyan. SoftBallot was selected to be one of the finalists at Pivot East 2015, a premier startups competition in East Africa. Life in Africa is changing at a speed never seen before, yet this goes largely unnoticed because the world still looks at it through a traditional lens. To counter this, home-grown initiatives are popping up, sending a different picture of Africa to the world, and to Africans themselves – because their own perception of themselves is key for social development and innovation. @ciriljazbec @natgeo #Nairobi #Kenya #Africa by natgeo http://ift.tt/1CX9iUq

• This is what corn seed looks like when it is treated with the neonicotinoid pesticide Chlothianidin. Each color indicates a different concentration of the pesticide. Neonicotinoids have been getting a lot of scrutiny lately because they have been found to be very harmful to honeybees. For example, one of the purple corn seeds shown here has enough pesticide to kill 100,000 bees if they came in direct contact with it. The tricky part is, bees typically don’t come in direct contact with treated seed since they are planted directly underground. Instead, the pesticide penetrates the seed and becomes incorporated into all of the plant’s tissue. So bees come into contact with low doses over longer periods of time as they collect contaminated pollen. In the lab, low doses have been shown to kill honeybee larvae and affect their navigation abilities. However, it is harder to prove what is going on out in the field. On top of that, neonicotinoids were designed to replace older pesticides that were more harmful to humans and other vertebrates. So it turns into a complicated trade-off when it comes to regulating these chemicals.

• Photo by @haarbergphoto (Orsolya Haarberg) Apart from being in good shape, you need to be both patient and dedicated if you want to photograph high up in the #Sarek mountains in #Sweden. I spent almost a week in tent at the foot of Mt Vuoinestjåkkå (in rain) before I could climb the top and stay another couple of days up there to witness good light. Making good images was a challenge because clear weather was boring, rain was hopeless, and if there were only a few clouds around, the highest peaks (like the one I was standing on) surely drew them like a magnet… Shot for an upcoming @natgeo magazine story. @thephotosociety by natgeo http://ift.tt/1LxvyXC

• photo by @drewtrush // The Elk, or Wapiti. Antlers that have been growing all summer will soon be shed of their velvet revealing the white hardened bone beneath. As the bull’s rake their antlers to shed their velvet they pick up sap making them sticky. As a result dirt and debris collects on the antlers giving them their distinctive coloration, while the tips tend to stay white. To learn more about Elk in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, follow the link in my profile to read more at nationalgeographic.com To see more of the wildlife from the area, please follow along with me @drewtrush as I move through the landscape! @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #bigwonderfulwyoming #elk #wapiti by natgeo http://ift.tt/1ekkqyy

• Photo by @stephenwilkes: From 1964 to 1973 during the Vietnam War, the US dropped over 2 million tons of bombs on Laos. That is the equivalent of a planeload every 8 minutes for 9 years. This aerial view shows a man as he rides his bike through Phonsavanh, where craters still scar the landscape from the millions of bombs dropped during the secret war. National Geographic’s story, Life After the Bombs, for which I traveled to Laos, is online now.

• Detail of a photo by @TomasVH, currently on display at the Museum of Contemporary Photography (@MoCPChi) in #Chicago. It shows an elderly women carrying bundles down stairs on the outskirts of #Pyongyang, #NorthKorea. The North Korean Perspectives group exhibition is open now through October 4: http://ift.tt/1IkJgwf Summary — The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), or North Korea, has been called the Hermit Kingdom, as it is one of the most reclusive states in the world. North Korea’s citizens are not allowed to travel abroad, there is no Internet connection to the outside world, and the flow of information is almost completely controlled by the government. This exhibition will be divided into two main sections: one showing the government’s official version of North Korea, while the other offers the alternative view of the country. Imagery distributed through official channels, such as the country’s press agency KCNA, which is based in Japan, and those photographed by tourists on state-controlled tours will offer an official view. These official images will be juxtaposed with a non-controlled stream of images coming out of the country: photographs produced by international photojournalists from within the nation, and international artists using photography and video to directly address North Korea. — More info: http://ift.tt/1HQBODM @thephotosociety @VIIPhoto #MoCP by natgeo http://ift.tt/1MMdwy2

• “I graduated college early because I was eager to get into the real world, but the job search is tougher than I imagined. I think people are afraid to hire me because I’m young. I’ve probably applied to over two hundred jobs. I’ve found that for every ten applications, I get one call back. And for every five call backs, I get one in-person interview. I’ve had seven of those so far.” “Do you wish you hadn’t graduated early?” “I try not to think about it. I could apply to ten more jobs in the time I spent thinking about that.” by humansofny http://ift.tt/1LB1Tgh
