Americans in their 40s and 50s are more depressed and forgetful, and weaker, than those of previous generations, and most of their peers in Europe. Education is no longer protective. Stress and financial insecurity are thought to be responsible.

Why is #JavaScript so popular? I hate everything about it.

I'm speaking at the #Canberra Field #Naturalists meeting at #ANU next month on #Malaise trapping and the #insects and other #invertebrates that surround us without our noticing them.

I expect most of my slides to be arrays of four or six #microscope images with a header (probably a family name in most cases) and captions for each image.

I don't want to lay out all these images in #LibreOffice (or any similar presentation tool) because I'm a perfectionist and getting it all tidy will take forever.

So, I decided to try out #Slidev, #Marp and other #Markdown-based presentation tools. The Markdown part is very appealing, but they all lean hard into JavaScript. That would be fine so long as I don't have to think about that side of things.

Slidev's AppleBasic theme seemed to be the best starting point, so I started hacking it to add som extra gridded image views. Plain image grids were not too challenging, but I really want captions for each image, so I started trying to understand how the templates use the forest of underlying JS libraries and CSS artefacts to produce the displayed slides.

Frankly, the whole thing is so opaque and would take me much longer to understand than preparing multiple presentations by hand would.

Then I realised I can use #montage on the command line to produce the kind of layouts I want, and I can script #exiftool to extract and prepare the captions which will save time.

So, my new plan is to write a #Python script that processes a #YAML file listing all the slides, titles and image paths. It can generate PNG images that are close to the target 1920*1080 size (give or take a little). I'll then use LibreOffice for a couple of more text-oriented or irregular slides, export those and combine all the images into a PDF.

I'm sure this will be way faster than battling Node.js. Not sure why I felt I had to write it up.

Four (parasitic) #wasps (#Hymenoptera) from a SLAM #Malaise sample in #Canberra #Australia over the last three weeks. Natural areas everywhere are (or should be) full of beautiful #insects like these, all just going about their business.

A #FairyWasp in the genus #Mymar - the first I have seen here in the nominate genus - see how tiny this #insect is.

An #ichneumon wasp (#Ichneumonidae) in the subfamily #Campopleginae - probably possible to get this one to genus, but most Australian species are unnamed.

#Vosleria australia (or at least that's the only named Australian species in the genus) - family #Encyrtidae

#Anastatus, unknown species - family #Eupelmidae

#Muscle #abnormalities worsen after post-exertional #malaise in #longCOVID https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-44432-3

“Symptoms of #LongCovid range from the profoundly disabling to 'merely' upsetting. Those with long #Covid frequently display a core set of symptoms, Altmann says, including #breathlessness, #fatigue, #wheeze, post-exertional #malaise and #BrainFog.

But about 200 other symptoms are also associated with the disease, and can come and go, including word-finding difficulties, #insomnia, skin #rashes and new #allergies.”

Which is more likely?

Carebara tahitiensis in Canberra

Carebara tahitiensis == an AU Carebara species

Blog post reviewing the #Lepidoptera species identified from #DnaBarcoding #insects from a year's #Malaise sampling in my garden in #Canberra.

Even though I have spent years photographing and identifying hundreds of moth species in the garden, these DNA barcodes added 23 species I had not previously recorded. Some seem common and are rarely or never recorded on citizen science platforms like #inaturalist

Probably only of interest to myself ... I've added an extra parameter to the URLs for my BOLD Australia site for exploring #Australian #DnaBarcodes. If you include "gmaea=1" in the URL, it highlights the taxa and records associated with BOLD specimens from my local #Malaise trapping. I'm finding it really interesting to visualise my specimens in context.

If nothing else, it made me realise that Guelph found #Strepsiptera in the sample from the week of 1-8 January 2021.

#Cerambycidae (I find it amazing how hard it is to place these to species): https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/147887747

Are you siding with #Harry or the #palace? Either way, you fall into the #royalist #trap - #Polly #Toynbee

"#Monarchy is a cast of mind that blocks #reform, an unholy religion made of these remarkably unremarkable people. Despite the best education for generations, their most useful genetic function is to demonstrate that talent and intelligence is randomly assigned. Monarchy breeds in #Britain a #feudalism of the imagination that gives a stamp of approval to #inheritance and to the #inequality, risen rampantly in recent decades, that is at the root of our #social and #political #malaise"

1. #Ichneumoninae sp. - I'll key out at least the genus soon.

2. #Orthocentrus sp. (#Ichneumonidae) - probably the commonest #ichneumon #wasp (or set of externally similar species) in my garden

3. #Pentacladus eucalypti (a #BarkLouse #Elipsocidae)

4. #Lamiinae sp. (a #LonghornBeetle #Cerambycidae) - I always find these harder to identify than I would expect
