what's this?

a very cool #tattoo

a painstakingly recreated one

from a #SiberianIceMaiden, a 3rd-5th century BC mummy

discovered in a kurgan in the altai mountains buried alongside a man, 9 horses, a wagon, and several rugs

she was from a culture known as the #Pazyryk

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pazyryk_burials

recently, Gino Caspari and team at the #MaxPlanckSociety's Institute of Geoanthropology revealed the obscured tattoo using high-resolution near-infrared photography:

Happy birthday, Max Planck!

Many know Max Planck as a brilliant physicist, #NobelPrize winner and the originator of #quantumtheory. But he was also a dedicated family man, a passionate musician and mountaineer as well as a skilled scientific organizer and networker. He was born on April 23rd, 1858, in Kiel / Germany.

#MaxPlanck #onthisday #otd #MaxPlanckInstitute #MaxPlanckSociety

From Moritz Helmstaedter on #RoboEM:

"In today’s AI research, any project lasting longer than 6 months is considered slow, if not outdated and overrun by history. RoboEM, with a concept and an approach that seem quite plausible, still took 5 years from idea to the fully evaluated tool reported here. This was only possible with the patient support of the Max Planck Society, which encourages long-term projects, and the tenacity of the first author. Details made all the difference. And, as often, dead ends had to be avoided efficiently. We had to abandon, for example, the idea of using steering variability to indicate branch points — a nice analogy to road intersections in car steering, but too far-fetched to work well enough in brain tissue data. Sometimes giving up beloved ideas is as important as following through on others. M.H."

@alexh

#HHMI is veering that way – preprints and open access in non-profit journals only. I wish the #WellcomeTrust, #MaxPlanckSociety and #ERC were to follow suit.

On @eLife , the article falls very short: at #eLife we've been publishing Reviewed Preprints at the same rate that we were publishing "traditional" articles before. See:

"eLife’s New Model: One year on" (2024) https://elifesciences.org/inside-elife/66d43597/elife-s-new-model-one-year-on
