Beautiful exhibition. What I love about Manggha Museum is that they always try to establish a dialog between the East and the West. So this time you will find dragonflies emblems and pictures from Japan art juxtaposed by the western entomological plates with […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Polecam petycję o podniesienie poziomu finansowania nauki w Polsce do poz. 3% PKB. To się wydaje nie tak dużo, ale może mieć ogromny wpływ na przyszłość (i przeszłość) 3% dla nauki, 100% dla Polski www.petycjeonline.com/3_procent_na_… #petycja #nauka #Polska

goofing around with #QGIS and #Inkscape over changing range of occupation of the archaeological site. Do you like this kind of viz, or prefer simple 2d plans, with clear north and dimensions? #archeology #visualization #maps #plans #illustration
