Researchers used artificial intelligence to translate ancient cuneiform texts from Mesopotamia into English. Most of the hundreds of thousands of the cuneiform-inscribed clay tablets remain untranslated. This new neural machine translation model could help us understand more of these ancient texts.

As a Board Member for the Glazer Children's Museum, I'm excited to share that Big John (the world's largest triceratops fossil) goes on display on Friday May 26, 2023 in Tampa, Florida. How BIG is Big John? It may surprise you! This amazing exhibit was designed for people of all ages because many of us never outgrow our love of dinosaurs. https://www.bigjohndino.com/

A team at @ProPublica has been investigating why a law passed 30 years ago intended to return Native American remains to their tribes has failed. Here’s what we’ve found. https://www.propublica.org/article/repatriation-nagpra-museums-human-remains

And you can see if your local museum or university still has Native American remains using this app.

Someone posted this earlier, but I haven't been able to track down the original post – 

"Visualizing Science: How Color Determines What We See"

https://eos.org/features/visualizing-science-how-color-determines-what-we-see

I think it's _very_ interesting how these palettes change what's highlighted and emphasized. "Perceptually equalized colormaps" may not always be the best choice.

Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.

It's a sign! Clearly @mastodon.scot was ahead of its time - this roadsign's been near Abbey St Bathans for decades! #ScottishBorders #Mastodon.scot #Scotland
