A little late to the party with this episode, but once again I cannot recommend this podcast enough if you're someone interested in media, content, curation, and all adjacent spheres.
We've chosen some great reading for you this week, including:
—A suspicious death in London, England.
—How AI could unlock the secrets on ancient scrolls.
—The struggle to convey a massive glacier’s beauty.
—How plants experience time.
—The hot mess behind the sriracha shortage.

Scientific #data is becoming increasingly complex, making data #curation increasingly difficult.
In this #PLOSBiology Perspective, a group of biocurators present some simple guidelines for data #accessibility that will help to increase the reach of published studies.
“Curators and aggregators are integral to the ecosystem. If we all create, steal, and regurgitate the same content then we only reinforce our own echo chamber. Aggregators bridge subcultures in a world of content bubbles and subreddits. […] They find beauty in the mundane and surface wisdom from obscure writings. That is valuable, worth more than gold.”

Je me tâte encore pour ma prochaine #curation#jeuvidéo même si je n'ai pas trop le temps de jouer en ce moment. Mais j'ai beaucoup de matière à couvrir et vous soumettre. Il me faudrait juste des journées de 36H ^^
The world is full of museums that don’t exist fully in three dimensions – museums described in words or drawn on paper; museum catalogues; museums on the web. There are also many museums that are the creation of artists, novelists and poets, and so have a strong thread of imagination running through them. The latter cast an...
Modding isn’t specific to PC Gaming only. There are entire communities and specialists dedicated to the development of Romhacks for old console games. Today we are looking at the Genesis / Mega Drive system.
