Dear #history folks: I'm a professional mapmaker (https://somethingaboutmaps.com) and I make a lot of maps for academic press books.
Would you be interested in attending an online talk where I discuss:
• what cartographers are
• why your work might benefit from maps
• how to find a mapmaker
• what it's like to work with one
• how much it might cost
?
If there's enough interest, I might put something together this winter, so please boost this! If it happens, I'll announce it here and on my blog.
I came across this awesome website with (mostly) free to use silhouette images of different organisms - great for scientific publications and presentations! I really appreciate people making/uploading these images for others to use - will probably be using these on graphs in the future. The bee species available are a bit lacking, though.

Hydroflattening tutorial for LiDAR data using GRASS on Zenodo. Added appendix for Windows users to show how to create a mean ground layer from virtual point clouds in QGIS for input to r.hydro.flatten using the version of GRASS that comes with the QGIS standalone installer. QL2 or better LiDAR data works best.
Another option on Windows would be to use pdal directly to create a mean ground layer, but my pdal expertise does not extend that far, yet.
This is a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the GRASS r.hydro.flatten Addon to accurately model water surfaces from airborne LiDAR point cloud ground data, including creating a complete DEM . Directions are given for using the tutorial in both Linux and Windows.
The Klencke Atlas, first published in 1660 AD, is one of the world's largest atlases. Originating in The Netherlands, it is 1.75m tall by 1.9m wide when open, and so heavy the British Library needed six people to carry it.
It was presented by a consortium of Dutch sugar merchants, represented by Professor Johannes Klencke, to King Charles II of England in 1660 to mark the occasion of his Restoration to the throne.
