What is qi 氣, or, how is it known? Can the varieties of qi be described, organised? In case you are interested, I did a thing: a video, a knowledge graph, and an article. youtu.be/bcdUPKrhL-E www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/oa-... kumu.io/Hachimantaro...

Artemisia or wormwood can be found all over the world. In East Asian herbal medicine it's used to stop bleeding, treat pain, and dispel itching. Leaves can be eaten fresh and used for moxibustion therapy. #asianmedicine #moxibustion #yomogi #herbalmedicine #EastAsianMedicine

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Birch bark documents are fascinating for many reasons, among them the languages they are written in. Most are written in a colloquial Slavic language, and there is also the oldest attestation of Finnic (n° 292) and one document in runic Old Norse (Smol. n° 11)! Here's the Old Norse document: 1/3
