Hi, I'm Aoife - archaeologist based in Denmark. Using #dendrochronology I discover the age of old timber structures. Better though is discovering WHERE the trees grew. Because then I can map contacts between past people, as they built vessels to sail the world. My work is often key to identifying historic shipwrecks. Recently we could identify the Swedish warship Äpplet (1629) - sister ship of Vasa (1628). #archaeology #shipwrecks #knowledgeofthehumanpast

The #Tonga/#Fiji #earthquake sequence is not done yet! Another very deep M7.0 #quake today, 100s of km North of the previous deep events in the region a few days ago.

This most recent #Fiji M7.0 earthquake is not as close to the bottom of the local #intraslab seismicity as the previous deep #earthquakes a few days ago.
(note that the focal #mechanisms are projected onto the vertical cross section)

Tip for newbies: filling in the text description for pics posted is, I have learned, really appreciated. There’s a sizeable community of the visually impaired over here and doing it means they’re not excluded. Also, it’s fun to do. If you’re on your phone, tap on the pic and start typing. (I didn’t realise I could go that) On the desktop app you’re given a prompt. It’s super easy.

We are extremely excited to share with the climate community (and beyond) the new and improved "Climate Data Guide" (by NCAR).

Explore the background behind 100s of different #weather and #climate datasets, along with the statistical tools to analyze them.

➡️ Check it out at https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/, and do share with your networks! #OpenScience #Data

Also, feel free to reach out to the board of advisors if you have any suggests or data inputs! 🥰

Hello Masto, I'm Dr Echo Rivera.

An #AltAc who decided to help academics/researchers create more engaging talks and lectures.

For me, it's about accessibility and inclusivity.

#DeathByPowerpoint is a funny punchline, but it's also inaccessible. It creates barriers and we need to take it more seriously.

I'm here to help.

🙏 Give this a boost & follow me if you'd like tips for creating #BetterPresentations.

AMA (I prob have a blog/video that can help).

Sometimes all it takes is to pay attention and let the beauty and extraordinary resilience of little critters wash into you.

I will start with a quick #Introduction

I am Eleonora, I have a background in #archaeology and #DigitalHumanities. I am now working as Head of Digital Scholarship at Southampton Uni library.

I am focusing on the digital shift and sustainable shift within digital applied to #heritage and #culturalheritage collections. I work a lot with #communities around #co-creation and I am interested in #ethics, #interopeability (FAIR) of our #data.

*Amazing* sunset tonight… My camera was having trouble with the dynamic range. This picture *almost* does it justice 😊

Newbie question...I'm starting to use lists (what a GREAT tool!) and want to know if posts from people I follow will be in BOTH the home column and the designated list column, or JUST show up in the designated list. Wow, that was harder to phrase than I had anticipated, thanks for sticking with me!

Since I'm feeling bloggy tonight, and nobody asked, here are some email lists I'm on and enjoy receiving.

1. [Artisanal Sudoku](https://artisanalsudoku.substack.com) - James Sinclair creates really, really good variant sudoku puzzles, and you get three every Monday for free, or five plus access to a growing archive for $5/month. Well worth the price, in my opinion.
2. [Sudoku Clover](https://www.patreon.com/sudokuclover/about) - Clover publishes monthly, and is also worth $5/month in my opinion. Plus, I've enjoyed her puzzles for so long on Discord for free.
3. [Letters from an American](https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com) - Everyone's favorite historian-turned-substack-queen, Heather Cox Richardson. Her daily emails teach me things.
4. [BIG by Matt Stoller](https://mattstoller.substack.com) - You should read the book Goliath by Matt Stoller, and then *also* subscribe to his weekly newsletter with a hyper-focus on anti-monopoly issues.
5. [Slow Boring](https://www.slowboring.com) - Matt Yglesias can be polarizing at times, but I find his newsletter thoughtful even when I disagree with his conclusions, as does one of my brothers who is theoretically on the other side of every issue from me politically. That seems to say something. MattY hyper-focuses on everything eventually.
6. [Garbage Day](https://www.garbageday.email) - Ryan Brodericks writes three times a week (or four, for $5/month) to remind us all that the internet is fun, actually. Brilliant observer of the online scene.
7. [Today in Tabs](https://www.todayintabs.com) - The internet in super-compressed form, Rusty Foster packs many, many links into his newsletter four days a week.

I subscribe to many more than this, but this seems like enough, and provides more than one #newsletter in each of three categories: #sudoku, #politics, and the #internet.

If you download your Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a Python script to convert a Twitter archive to markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

Kicking off my #visualization thread! This is an interactive web toy I made to demonstrate the "photon sphere" around spinning black holes. You can play with it here: https://duetosymmetry.com/tool/kerr-circular-photon-orbits/

Hi! I am Michelle, a researcher and interaction designer, with a special interest in Multispecies Design.

Over the last decade I worked with different entities - including cats, dogs, ants, penguins, and forests - in participatory and digital technology projects to create multispecies proposals for living more sustainably.

I recently co-led the design of a digital gardening and open-data platform: https://atlas.smartforests.net/
