šŸŽ¬ What I’m...

Tim, Coretext’s Creative Director, insists on custom content in contract magazines. Recycled content, reworded from somewhere else, might be quicker to produce but it also undercuts the reason an organisation commissions a magazine in the first place: to build its own authority and its readers’ trust.

At Coretext, every story in a contract magazine is written and designed from scratch by our own writers and designers. Nothing is recycled or repurposed for a different client’s masthead.

Today is World Macadamia Nut Day, and there’s considerably more science in a macadamia orchard than you might expect.

We’re looking at the Australian origins of the macadamia and some of the science involved in taking a crop from flower to harvest. Swipe through for a closer look.

Lauren is creating a series of infographics that summarise the actions more than 20 organisations are taking to address a global issue. Each organisation is running several initiatives, so the infographics use text, data and imagery to show the full range of activity, and what's possible when organisations tackle a big problem together rather than alone.

Word of the week: fomite

A muddy boot might look harmless, but what is travelling on it? During National Biosecurity Week, 24–30 August, our Word of the Week is fomite – an object or material that can carry infectious agents from one host or location to another.

Footwear, clothing, tools, equipment and vehicles can all act as fomites if they become contaminated. That’s one reason cleaning boots and equipment before moving between farms or other environments can be an important biosecurity practice. Word of the Week shows how science surrounds us and influences everyday life – sometimes right down to what’s on the soles of our shoes. What scientific words would you like us to explore in future weeks? Send us your suggestions.

Word of the Week: Chromatography 🧪

From checking food for pesticide residues to analysing medicines and looking for pollutants in water, scientists often need to work out exactly what is in a complex mixture. Chromatography helps them do that by separating the mixture into its individual components. A simple version you may have encountered at school separates the different pigments in ink as solvent travels across paper.

More sophisticated forms of chromatography are used in laboratories to analyse foods, medicines, environmental samples and biological samples. Our Word of the Week series demonstrates how science surrounds us and influences our daily lives – chromatography is a good example of laboratory science underpinning many of the products and systems we rely on.

šŸŽ¬ What I'm...

Nicole's been thinking about fuel, specifically whether grain growers will get what they need this season.

It's been a volatile year for fuel access, and machinery doesn't run without it. Sowing, spraying and harvest all depend on fuel reaching the farm gate. Nicole's hoping growers get what they need to bring in a strong crop this year.

Christine is writing SEO summaries for a publication that’s about to go live on a client’s website.

She’s identifying the key points and the words people are likely to search for, and making sure they're included in the summary. Her work improves the publication’s findability, so when someone searches for the research it covers, they can actually find it.

Word of the Week: Petrichor šŸŒ§ļø

That fresh, earthy smell after rain has a name: petrichor.

It isn’t simply ā€˜the smell of rain’. It happens when raindrops hit dry ground and release tiny droplets carrying natural plant oils and a compound called geosmin, produced by soil bacteria. Together they create the distinctive scent many of us associate with the first rain after a dry spell.

Our Word of the Week series explores scientific concepts that demonstrate how science surrounds us and influences our daily lives. Sometimes it’s something as simple, and memorable, as the smell of rain. What scientific word would you like us to feature next? Leave your suggestions in the comments.

Brad has been photographing individual grains for a client, working with art director Fiona James. The grains were small enough that a standard macro lens couldn’t get close, so Brad fitted a +4 magnifying ring to shoot from just one to two centimetres away.

Lighting was the harder problem at that distance. Every shadow shows. The grains, at least, stayed still for the camera.

Word of the Week: Dendrochronology 🌳

Every tree has a story to tell.

Dendrochronology is the study of tree rings. Most trees add a new ring each year, creating a natural record of their lives. Wide rings often reflect favourable growing conditions, while narrow rings can indicate drought, disease or other environmental stresses. By studying these patterns, scientists can reconstruct past climates, investigate bushfire history, date historic buildings and learn how forests have changed over time.

Our Word of the Week series highlights scientific concepts that influence our daily lives. Trees aren’t just part of our landscape, they’re living archives that help us understand the past and prepare for the future.

What scientific word should we explore next? Let us know in the comments.
