Are you attending #ASTC2026 in Phoenix? Swing by the @amnh.org booth and pick up a one-page flyer about research I worked on with colleagues at @liu.se on how credit is (or isn’t) given in #sciencemuseum exhibits. You can also take a look at our paper here: tinyurl.com/suchasimplething

Looking forward to hearing from @snatale.bsky.social on “Talking to Parrots, or How to Make Sense of AI” at this year’s #ecsite conference…

Getting ready to speak about @openspaceproj.bsky.social at #ecsite in Göteborg! But realizing that no one at the conference seems to use BlueSky…

The gravitational center of the fulldome world has shifted to Brno for this week’s festival! What better way to mark the event than a giant inflatable sphere showcasing the EHT polarization image of M81’s black hole on the grounds? www.fulldomefestivalbrno.com/festival/?su...

You know you’re back in Brno for the fabulous annual fulldome festival when the line for delicious Czech food goes all the way down the stairs and into the lobby! www.fulldomefestivalbrno.com/program/

Attending “Exploring AI in VFX,” sponsored by the New York section of the Visual Effects Society. (The walk-in music is Starship’s “We Built This City.” Do they know I’ve just arrived from the Left Coast?)

Attending #LPS25 in Vienna. It feels somewhat insulting to subject 6,000+ attendees to an AI-generated “welcome” in an opening plenary. Like, you wouldn’t take the time to shoot a video but you’re going to have your AI clone take up our collective time? Am I being a curmudgeon?

From @aaas.org: “We can’t let passive things happen, like the idea that we’re not going to obligate funds that you already appropriated, destroy something that we’ve built over 80 years. Because if we allow it to break, we can’t just put it back together again next year.”

For the next several months, I’ll be at the amazing Visualization Center C in Norrköping, Sweden! I have a chance to work with the talented team here on some exciting visualization projects, including those that touch on climate and the environment.

At @calacademy.bsky.social this morning, we hosted an amazing talk by Lori Fogarty, who heads up the Oakland Museum of California. For folks in the museum field, this talk is absolutely inspiring—to think about how we exist in and for our communities! I recommend watching.

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to visit the Shanghai Astronomy Museum and speak at their symposium on the future of planetariums! The scale of projects in China boggles the mind…

Exterior photo of the Shanghai Astronomy Museum, with a large spherical dome in the distance, part of an extensive modern building with curvilinear design. A grassy area in front of the building features the name of the museum in large characters, both in Chinese and English.

An image of a lecture hall. On the left, presenter in front of a large LED screen, about three meters tall, displaying an astronomical visualization. On the right, an audience of approximately fifty people.

A telescope of slightly unusual, late 19th-century design, painted white, inside a dome from the same era.

Now that everyone is starting to show up here, I guess I should post something. What better than a photo of Nigel helping me organize my office?
