A feeble and possibly short-lived attempt to start a new hashtag, here's my first #MidweekMuseum recommendation. This is the #StateHermitage #Museum in #SaintPetersburg, #Russia. We spent several hours here in 2017 and like all the big #museums in all the big cities, it both wasn't enough time and probably too much as you eventually reach an #art and #history saturation and fatigue point. Fabulous place.

Woah. Watching Twitter misuse our research by putting warnings on links to Mastodon.

Here for example is the warning that @georgetakei "may be unsafe."

In a study led by Ben Kaiser at Princeton, we tested the effect of interstitial warnings on user behavior.

Solidarity to the nurses on strike today.

Nurses deserve to be properly paid and not overworked, not because that will make healthcare better and safer for the rest of us (although it will), or because we owe it to them for all their work during the pandemic (although we do), but because they're human beings and therefore should have decent working conditions. Their job is one of the hardest in existence, and their treatment is disgraceful.

I bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?

Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.

Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.

Leavitt’s work is still used today. Next time you hear about famous men in #science share her story. #HistoryRemix

Beautiful Inchmahone Priory on its island in the Lake of Menteith in the Trossachs. It was founded by Augustinian canons who came here from Cambuskenneth Abbey near Stirling in 1238. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/aberfoyle/inchmahomepriory/index.html
