Picture writing and hieroglyphs are often seen as writing technologies that belong firmly to the past. But what does it mean to write in pictures, and how can a tradition of "picture writing" survive into the present day?

From the 1920s to the mid-20th century, the botanist/anthropologist Joseph Rock was the first to seriously study the Naxi pictographs of southwest China, a tradition he thought would disappear if he did not record it. In 1952 he made a dire prediction: "“A very few years more and the Na-khi books will be undecipherable…they will remain closed books, no Rosetta stone would prove of value.”

The end of the second, and all of the third, days of the “Paving the Way to New Discoveries in Particle Physics” conference saw a focus on the strong interaction, machine learning, and deeper dives into fundamental mathematical questions. Also, I finished writing my talk. 🙂

Tonight at 8 PM in the Westport Observatory classroom — a deep dive into what the James Webb Space Telescope has actually been doing (spoiler: it’s a lot).

Is it just me, or does this thistle on a gate at Glasgow University appear to be mid-way through giving a lecture to passersby?
