This little bird survived a volcanic eruption! Buried by volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, this Roman fresco of a little bird pecking at fruit re-emerged looking as delightful as it did some 2,000 years ago! Villa Poppaea, ancient Oplontis, Italy 📷 by me #FrescoFriday #Archaeology
My photo shows detail from a Roman fresco (wall painting) in a corridor at Villa A, the luxurious so-called ‘Villa Poppaea’ at ancient Oplontis (modern day Torre Annunziata) in the Bay of Naples, Italy.

The fresco depicts a small light brown bird standing on a small pinky-brown wooden shelf, against a vibrant red background panel. The bird is shown in profile, facing left, with plummage painted in various shades of light brown and grey to beautifully depict detail of its feathers. The bird is lowering its head with beak open, about to peck into a fig on the shelf in front. There are two further figs painted behind the bird which have already been pecked into. The figs are painted light brown. The figs which have already been pecked into have cream flesh and red seeds.

Sport may be ‘beautiful’ to some, but that is not really why most people are so into sports. The truth about sport, writes @lionelpage.bsky.social, is that it is a status game—for individuals *and* for groups: open.substack.com/pub/lionelpa...

There are several recent papers which could fall under the heading ‘Economic History of the Scientific Revolution’ but this network analysis tracing how scientific ideas diffused amongst scholars in the period 1084-1793 is a real milestone, an ‘epidemiological’ model of how ideas spread like disease

In 2023, four of the seven US-based Nobel laureates were immigrants. That’s a wonderful thing for Americans. It has nothing to do with saying that Americans aren’t good at stuff. It means that America is a place where the best Americans and best immigrants work together to do great things.

Is #China really as dominant in scientific #research as it might appear? Shumin Qiu, Claudia Steinwender, & Pierre Azoulay find that after adjusting citation counts for home bias, China is in fourth place globally - behind the US, UK, and Germany. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky #science
A graph of home bias in citations that shows China far in the lead.

China’s emergence as the world’s leading producer of scientific publications has raised concerns about the West’s technological edge and the quality of China’s output. This column investigates the publishing phenomenon of ‘home bias’ – whereby researchers disproportionately cite papers from their own country – and finds that China exhibits the largest home bias across all major countries and in nearly every scientific field. After adjusting citation counts for home bias, the authors place China fourth globally – behind the US, the UK, and Germany – tempering the perception of China’s scientific dominance.

Never forget, car dependency isn’t freedom. Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?” Choices. Choices are more free than car dependency. It’s not a hard concept. I’m not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport. I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.
