Fantastic art exhibit on birds in Cornwall. Lots of great seabird action captured by Charles W Simpson.

See you next year in NOLA for #AHA27!
Fun interactions with old technology like rotary phones, telegraphs & flags. Even got to see the transatlantic cables still in place outside, which is the reason the museum is where it is.
Both museum exhibits and industrial heritage site. Some nice stuff about the horses that worked the clay pit.
Lots of agricultural history from early colonial history of Texas: brands, barbed wire, pesticides. The game where you are a settler trying to avoid disasters (from tornados to no water) was fascinating.
Reflects on 1880 Milan conference (w 1 deaf attendee) that decided oral ed should replace deaf ed for deaf students. As a parent of child who speaks Norwegian sign, really powerful.
IPBES remains committed to its mandate to provide the most credible science and evidence about biodiversity to all decision makers and actors. 🌍

A follow-up exhibit to the previous Our Broken Planet. More hopeful messaging with things to do (like cut plastics & fast fashion). Bird nests incorporating human-made materials were interesting.

Exhibit had a wide range of beautiful objects, from Anglo-Saxon herbals to a Wardian case to pesticide sprayer to images of contemporary guerrilla urban gardening.
P.S. I routinely walk through the state museum across the street from work and get to see a stuffed Carolina Parakeet.
Don’t forget that anyone can also ask their local library to buy a copy to spread the reading enjoyment.
