Costume Patrol

Congratulations to all our featured contestants, you were all beautiful. Halloween is America's celebration of cosplay in our culture.

Did I say something wrong?

But seriously folks, in Science Patrol we are ALL winners, and nobody wanted to spend money on medals anyway, so we will instead be offering all our participants identical trophies of the most extravagant kind:


Scanning Tunnelling Electron microscopes.

Pick yours up at your local postgraduate research facility. I'm trading mine in for a Hadron collider.

There's a STM microscope simulator here.






Finally, I have a few Honorable Mentions, culled from the massive amounts of people in the West Village last night. Frontliners in the fight for science, all.
