The pick of this week's web highlights.

SUBSCRIBE:GIVEN ITS mission to popularise science with the public, it's fitting that the Science Gallery at Trinity College, Dublin, should have a slick YouTube channel showcasing its activities. From highlights of the launch of its latest exhibition, Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef: A Woolly Wonder, to some of the five-minute pitches at the recent Ignite events, the Science Gallery on YouTube will inspire a visit by those who have yet to make it in person.

Free tilt-shift  photo maker

BOOKMARK:TILT-SHIFT PHOTOS are those of real-life scenes which have been manipulated to look like they are of miniature models. With the tag-line "discover the world in miniature" TiltShift Maker is a free web-based service that applies the effect that previously required expensive photo editing software and hours of work. Lots of fun and what's more you don't even have to register with the site to use the photo-editing tool.
