(2/3) One way is through shared daily learning activities 👩‍🏫📚 including:

📓📝 Journaling our first encounters with fieldwork sites and comparing with nineteenth-century diary entries from colonial surveyors

📸😮 Documenting unexpected moments through a series of photographs

✍️🎨 Sketching artefacts and surrounding nature at field sites

🖋️📜 Writing haiku verses reflecting on our day in the field

🚗⚡️Building miniature models of telegraph lines and transport (think palm-sized lancia lambda) in situ

(3/3) 🌈💭 Collecting and reflecting on the significance of objects across the colour spectrum at a particular field site

🧭🗺️ Creatively mapping our routes at the end of each trip (see photo!)

Each exercise encourages us to think differently about what we’ve come across in the field, question assumptions about life on the telegraph line, and reflect on our biases and unique #research backgrounds. There are no “right” answers 😊

"A large federally-funded study coming out of [US]America, published in Nature, 'marijuana users have enhanced cognitive abilities' ... [they] analysed brain imaging and cognitive data, from 37929 people. The cannabis consumers consistently outperformed the non-users in the cognitive tests. They had brain network characteristics typically associated with younger brains."

"The US presidential administration is actively working to dismantle HIV research and demolish the architecture of global health. The entire #HIV response — from basic #research and clinical development to policy, programs, and global access to life-saving treatment and prevention — is now under attack, and the world runs the risk of reversing the strides made to end HIV."

For years, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pushed discredited theories linking vaccines to autism.

Now, scientists studying the condition fear he has preconceived notions that will harm the field and taint new funding for research.

"Infants born to people who received $1,000, no-strings-attached, were nearly half as likely to die as infants born to people who got no cash, according to a report published Monday by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Cash cut mortality in children under 5 by about 45%, the study researchers found, on par with interventions like vaccines and anti-malarials."

I updated my post "Do I need a Lisp Machine comeback?". I have added the new information I've found with chatting with folks on lisp IRC channels.

Seems like I was looking for was "residential style development" or something. Dunno yet what does it mean. But for sure I am digging something out of grave!

“evidence suggests that c [speed of light] should be reframed not as an abstract, immutable law, but as a physical, medium-dependent, and potentially manipulable engineering parameter of the quantum vacuum.”
