A couple of years ago I participated to a conference "Thanks for Typing" which led to a book project which again led to an exhibition at the Harvard University (my colleague wrote that she had checked that the exhibition was inspired by the book):

"From the poems of Emily Dickinson to Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, many of the masterworks of modern literature were originally written by hand, then typed. But their creators were rarely the ones to type them. This work was performed by typists—usually women—working for love, money, or both. Largely uncredited, this labor has generally been undervalued and misunderstood, with the typists seen as mere conduits for the writing that passed through their hands. Drawing on collections across Houghton Library, Thanks for Typing spotlight typists’ surprising contributions to literature, theater, film, and dance. The exhibition also puts typists in context by showing the technical skill required for their work and exploring portrayals of typists in popular culture."

Efficient method to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere developed at the University of Helsinki | University of Helsinki

The method is based on a recyclable filtration fluid consisting of a superbase-alcohol compound. One gram of the new compound can absorb 156 milligrams of carbon dioxide.

University of Helsinki

Es war eine inspirierende Woche an der Aalto University und der University of Helsinki – viel Austausch und einige neue Perspektiven und Gespräche über #CriticalComputationalLiteracy sowie innovative Learning Spaces und die Rolle von KI in Bildung und Gesellschaft.

Kiitos kaikille avoimuudesta, inspiroivista keskusteluista ja lämpimästä vieraanvaraisuudesta! 🇫🇮✨🙏
