200: Deer Management in Ireland with Ashley Glover

The image shows large wooden numbers "200" placed in a lush green forest. The numbers appear to be carved from wood with a natural, rustic texture and are partially covered with moss or green vegetation growing on them. They're positioned on the forest floor, surrounded by pine trees and dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy. The setting creates a striking contrast between the man-made numerals and the natural forest environment, suggesting a theme of nature and sustainability or perhaps marking a significant milestone or anniversary related to the number 200.

199: Circumnavigating the Globe for Science with Bert terHart

The image shows a person standing on a sailing yacht with their arms raised upwards in what appears to be a joyful or celebratory gesture. They're wearing a light-coloured cap, a grey t-shirt and patterned shorts. The yacht has a dark blue sail cover folded on the boom above. The vessel has a white hull with porthole windows and various sailing equipment visible, including winches and rigging. There appears to be another person partially visible inside the cabin area. The scene takes place on a sunny day with a shoreline and buildings visible in the background, suggesting this is at a marina or coastal area.
