A new and promising editorial project titled Endangered Heritage Sites: From eidotypes to enriched representations and design solutions is launched and the call for book chapters is now open. The book delves into the potential of digital surveying methodologies to decode and analyse cultural heritage data. Semantic segmentation, deep learning, heritage building information modelling (HBIM), and 3D point clouds enable the exploration of the intricate layers that constitute endangered heritage sites. By critically examining these methodologies, the book includes real-world case studies that shed light on heritage sites facing threats from anthropogenic disasters and natural hazards. These contributions aim to unveil hidden narratives, safeguard collective values and reshape perspectives on cultural heritage in the digital era.

How do ants fair against humans when it comes to mazes? You may be surprised at the results! Read the story below to find out all about the recently published experient using ants and humans from the Weizmann Institute of Science. "Professor Ofer Feinerman and his team at the Weizmann Institute used this shared trait to conduct a fascinating evolutionary competition that asks the question: Who will be better at maneuvering a large load through a maze? The surprising results have shed new light on group decision making, as well as on the pros and cons of cooperation versus going it alone."

Research is not a mysterious thing people in lab coats do. Instead… Research is a systematic investigation of an uncharted knowledge territory via curation and creation.

A chief science adviser for France is a good idea.

Night Science is that part of the process where we're finding the big idea to be tested robustly in Day Science! Check out the five really cool short animations that Oliver Bogler made which introduce the ideas that Martin Lercher & I have been discussing.

CAN'T RECOMMEND THIS HIGHLY ENOUGH. Just finished James Bridle's "Ways of Being", and am now reading it again. How our fast-accelerating development of artificial intelligence is so very narrow and dangerous -- and can be informed and remedied by our fast-growing knowledge of the life and intelligence, in many forms and species, all around us. The world is alive -- who knew? Read the book, please. https://lnkd.in/gRuQedis.
