#Museum30 Day 3: New Technology
Definitely cheating a bit by calling it "new", but legendary Academy scientists Joseph Leidy and Ruth Patrick were both champions of the microscope. At one point, its influence was so great that the museum even had its own Microscopical Section.

Initially it was. But the more i did so, the more i hated it. So luch so that it outweigh the very microscopical "fun" i had.
I don't want to ever "grab a pencil" again.

People are against AI, but with AI, we know a lot of stuff too. Archaeology show us how Dinosaurs move and act and the Dead Sea Scrolls. It shows history that time has forgotten. AI gives us what the human body looks like in a microscopical way. AI is not all evil, if used right.

LINT MUSEUM!!! Some animal hairs have ladder-patterned inner cores. ☆ Every specimen removed from a jumper deserves an anatomical tour before anyone reaches for the sticky roller. The gift shop sells magnifiers, not cleaning products.

It would be great if Putin backed off so Ukraine could hold an election if UA ppl. is still on board or you’d rather hand land to Putin. It would be no shame.The chances that the election will be free and fair with Putin on the sideline is microscopical. It is about the security of Ukraine to wait.

Frank Smith undertook microscopical investigations of his subjects, and became an expert slide-maker. He exchanged slides with numerous other enthusiasts throughout the world. This interest led him to join the Quekett Microscopical Club. He edited the QMC’s Journal for six years.

Sharing a ca. 1905 white-on-black painting of Volvox, by Frank P. Smith (1880 - 1945). Smith produced this and other images of microscopical life for production of lantern slides for his talks on natural history.
Smith later produced the first commercial time-lapse films of flower buds opening, etc.
