It’s the first day of autumn and the telltale signs are here: unstable weather, rain and wind, and most importantly, the leaves are changing colors. Ever wonder why some leaves turn red, others yellow and some just turn brown? It's all down to chlorophyll (more like bore-ophyll!) and the glucose stored inside trees that help reveal the reds, yellows and, less excitingly, browns of fall foliage.

NICOLAU STENO, by Rui
In Sciences, the class was asked to prepare and present a PPt on "My Scientist". Each student chose a different scientist and following correction by the Sciences Teacher, leaners were asked to do the same in English. The PPts you will see published here in the next few days are the result of that collaboration between myself and teacher Maria João Machado.
The first one is by Rui and is on Nicolau Steno.
Let's meet him, shall we?
