Spoiler alert, great maps and words from @rsimmon.bsky.social

It's like my hometown dentist Lou Smoler

• “Cartesian” comes directly from Cartesius, the Latinized name of René Descartes.
• “Cartography” is rooted in the Latin charta and Greek -graphē, concerning maps and writing — with no connection to Descartes’s name or mathematical concepts.

Thick black line is the centerline of the Beni River in Bolivia. Circles that are tangent to the centerline represent the radius of curvature ag the location. Smaller circles = higher curvatures.

In this version the circles are colored according to the curvature; brighter colors = higher curvatures.

I have been experimenting with different ways of visualizing the curvature of meandering rivers. Plotting curvature in the context of the meanders themselves helps QC-ing the curvature data ⚒️🧪

Same here. Uniquely useful, so expensive

I wrote a short interactive article👆

It uses simulations to demonstrate how different cardiac arrhythmias can develop.

Try it out! (It has defibrillators ⚡️)

Full disc of western hemisphere of earth, eclipse over central and northern south america

Yesterday's eclipse captured in 2 frames about 2 hours apart, from the eyes of DSCOVR's EPIC camera (epic.gsfc.nasa.gov) parked around Lagrange point L1. I've been working a lot with this data recently, project coming soon...

Today, Doogie Typer is loaded up with Doogie's first entry, written on his 16th birthday in the pilot episode. He would have turned 50 today, just a tad younger than @nphstuff.bsky.social. Happy birthday Doogie.

Happy belated crab day

Everything’s fine

I can think of few things better to do on a holiday Sunday than wander through this meticulous 3-D reconstruction of Tenochtitlan at its height. tenochtitlan.thomaskole.nl (I particularly dig the overlays between modern Mexico City and Tenochtitlan as it was.)

To be fair, I’d be proud of such a ‘shop effort

Another day, another amazing anatomy fact! 🧪

Your teeth are joints.

They're a fibrous joints called dento-alveolar syndesmoses. Science speak for: pegs of tooth fit into jaw socket.

LOOSE teeth are bad right? Why's it a joint? Because a tiny bit of movement tells you how hard you're cronching!
