Charles Henry Turner was a zoologist and comparative psychologist who studied the behavior and cognition of insects and other arthropods including spiders, bees, ants and moths.
His insights into animal behavior were a century ahead of their time — and long overlooked.

Earliest record is 1967 Carshalton Medical Research Center, as 'prepared cards' of figures and indexes.

Cette après-midi, ce sera le début de la journée d'étude "Opuscules médico-scientifiques aux XVe-XVIe siècles", organisée par Michele Belotti !
Il s'agira de réfléchir à la production et à la circulation des livrets éphémères médico-scientifiques, et de réfléchir aux enjeux de médiation scientifique en lien avec l'imprimerie, aux notions de "culture savante" et de "culture populaire".

About fifty years after Smith's seminal map for the Geology of Britain and we see numerous 19th century British publishers including some version of it into their atlases, such as this from c. 1860 by Bradbury - Agnew. Hand colored to distinguish the strata.
Still a relatively young science at the time, but clearly making an impact, and unveiling an important key to understanding our world.

(most of them still died from longer term effects of the radiation)
but i really don't get it. he's more of a cautionary tale and was terminally wreckless. pulled a homer simpson pre homer simpson.
took it like a champ, but imo that does not a hero make.

How past pandemics may have caused Parkinson's
Surviving a pandemic isn't always the end of the story – some viruses can have health effects that linger on for decades, eventually leading to a range of devastating diseases.

Carl Sagan argued that hunter-gatherers were the first scientists, who used observation and experimentation to survive in nature. His view challenges the common assumption that science is a modern invention of civilized societies. By recognizing the scientific roots of our ancestors, we can appreciate the diversity and creativity of human knowledge across time and space.

Astonishingly, Alan Turing's original paper setting out "the Turing Test" has a serious section in it discussing how ESP (ideas about telepathy, clairvoyance etc) could affect human-computer tests. The brilliant Paul Sen (who directed my bubble documentary, years ago) has just made a short video exploring what Turing thought and the consequences it had: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPyvre0FHFk Highly recommended as a way to spent 7 minutes of your time! #ScienceHistory #Turing #Computers
