Just read this great piece on SBS NITV: 'Two Flags, One Nation' – the story of outback artist Talc Alf's 1988 design blending the Aboriginal flag with the Southern Cross for unity. Decades later it appeared on Sam Neill's uniform in Event Horizon (set in 2047), and it flew at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. A hopeful vision of reconciliation reaching far into the future.

A 500-year-old Leonardo da Vinci mystery has been solved, and the clue was hiding in an unexpected place.
For centuries, scholars debated whether da Vinci drew the "Vitruvian Man" figure first, then added the circle and square, or vice versa. This question gets to the heart of his process: was he an artist using geometry, or a geometer using art?
New high-resolution analysis has provided the answer. By examining the overlapping lines, researchers found the figure was drawn over the geometric circle. The most telling point of overlap? The line of the circle passing over the figure's crotch.
This confirms Leonardo drew the architecture of the universe first and then placed humanity perfectly within it, underscoring his belief in the connection between the macrocosm and microcosm.#greatread #LeonardoDaVinci #ArtHistory #Science #Renaissance

❤️ interdisciplinary research
"We found that even 200 years after immigration, the ancestry at one site (Leobersdorf) remained dominantly East Asian-like, whereas the other site (Mödling) shows local, European-like ancestry. These two nearby sites show little biological relatedness, despite sharing a distinctive late-Avar culture."
This DNA analysis meets #archeology article about the #Avars around Vienna has some amazing findings + it is so well written.

The Trovant stones in Costești, Romania, are mind-blowing! These ancient stones seem to grow, move, and even "reproduce." After rain, they expand due to a reaction between the water and the minerals inside. Over time, smaller stones (called "microtrovants") form and break off to grow on their own. These mysterious stones continue to fascinate both scientists and visitors, with research ongoing to uncover their secrets! #TrovantStones #Romania #NatureWonders #Geology #GreatRead #AmazingNature

A team of palaeontologists led by Southern Methodist University has discovered over 260 footprints of Early Cretaceous dinosaurs in Brazil and Cameroon. These findings reveal where land-dwelling dinosaurs were last able to freely cross between South America and Africa before the continents split apart millions of years ago. #paleontology #dinosaurs #science #fossildiscovery #creataceous #geology #africa #southamerica #greatread

New research from *Scientific Reports* shows that how you perceive time is tied to the amount of new information your brain processes. When you're young, everything feels new, so your brain works harder, making time seem to move slowly. As you age, fewer things feel novel, so your brain has less to process, and time seems to fly by. Additionally, once we hit our 20s, the release of dopamine in response to new experiences begins to decline, further contributing to the sensation that time is speeding up.

Fascinating new research shows that our faces may evolve to match our names, highlighting the power of social expectations! The study found that adults' faces can often be accurately matched to their names, unlike children's. Using machine learning, researchers discovered striking similarities among adults with the same name, suggesting that social constructs can shape our appearance over time. #Science #Psychology #SocialInfluence #greatRead

I really enjoyed Better the Blood by Michael Bennet. The book is ostensibly about a series of murders related to a historical crime. But the book is equally about gender discrimination, colonialism, and racism. The protagonist is amazing. The writing is breezy and the story is excellent! @bookstodon #Bookstodon #Fiction #Books #GreatRead #Colonialism
