ReplyDeleteIs there any way to reproduce these images, for a thesis or magazine story?
ReplyDeleteNoraS
can these be reproduced for thesis or magazine story?
ReplyDeleteNora, I don't own nor do I have rights over any of these images: the best thing to do if you are worried about it would be to contact the University of Porto Science Faculty to seek permission for their use. I locally saved and reposted these images here under the principle of 'fair use' for as long as noone objects to their presence.
