I love all the different handwriting styles. And how each professor has different methods of marking the attendance of each student.

That's actually a really important thing to point out! Cursive is not taught much anymore, but yet so much of our history is recorded this way. So much of it that it is impossible to think that it will

Yes! It was so interesting to witness all the directions her research took her. And a lot of fun for me to help her. It's too bad I can't share her poem. I was hoping it would be online, but it's not.

None of these are local specimens. These are hard corals, mainly from the reefs of the Bahamas and the Caribbean. Also the South Pacific. I believe what you would find down the shore are soft corals.

I agree! The corals and the starfish are among my favorite specimens in the museum.

@walnut1 You can follow the Wagner @phillyhistory now. We just started posting 2 weeks ago!

Thanks for the response @twotoedsloth It's so interesting to see how different backgrounds and experiences allow us to see things in different ways.

The Wagner's attempt at engaging our audience. What does a drawing of a microscopic organism inspire you to create?

Thank you for taking a look. I agree, there is so much inspiration to be found in the natural world. We often forget there is a huge part of it too small for our eyes to see. Lucky for us, Leidy and others

Thanks for posting the link to the video Ken! It gives you a much deeper look into Emily's process.

A big, innovative step for everyone and every institution. Looking forward to building and replicating this model.

Thanks! Good stuff. Reminds me of architect Louis Kahn's poetic speech when he was awarded The American Institute of Architects Gold Medal in 1971: "A city is measured by the character of its

But I have to say: your images all are of USD... so retro in the current cryptoverse! What we have created is something more than mere cash. And the sooner we realize it, the better. See this recent post,

Good, clear, thinking. We hope to have an announcement/outcome shortly! Stay tuned.

Thoughtful, thorough and insightful. As a result of our "experiment," the barriers to adoption by an overcautious sector are clearer than ever. I wonder if we could identify points in this system

That would be an instance of good parenting, institution style.

If $10,000 is "a pitiful sum," what kind of impact would 10 pitiful sums have? Or 1,000? Is this a sideways argument for only dealing in large amounts?

Yes! It's right down the street from the Corner Store Museum

For me, this is the biggest and most impactful gap in our execution: A partnership with a museum or NPO from the beginning would have allowed us to use their collections/content for posts, which would

create a training center for public historians. A VERY interesting idea. I'd like to hear more about how it would situate in the cultural/educational ecology to make the most of its mission. Affiliated
