Profile picture: A brain (as if viewed from the top) made to look like a face, wearing glasses, with the hint of a nose and a mouth but no eyes.

Header picture: An abstract, geometric, grayscale cityscape.

A very, very tiny spring.

A close-up. It rained last night and then dropped just below freezing, so the moss was frosted this morning. #Mosstodon #lichensubscribe

The highest resolution photo ever taken of a piece of art:

https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/stories/operation-night-watch/story/ultra-high-resolution-photo

"It is 717 gigapixels, or 717,000,000,000 pixels, in size.

The distance between two pixels is 5 micrometres (0.005 millimetre), which means that one pixel is smaller than a human red blood cell."

Ultra high resolution photo

The Rijksmuseum published the largest and most detailed ever photograph of The Night Watch on its website, making it possible to zoom in on individual brushstrokes and even particles of pigment in the painting.

Does anyone in my timeline know MA or PhD candidates researching the academic labour market (anytime between the 18th century and today) from a historical perspective?

Retooting much appreciated! 😊
