NISP is entirely voluntary :)
The feds have basically infinite latitude to impose restrictions on FCLs and PCLs

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

Data from the Euclid Early Release Observations were made available lately, so here's my go at the Horsehead Nebula observation (using the NISP instrument) by this wonderful space telescope! 🔭

To continue on the Euclid front, here are two observations that I processed using the ERO data: M78 and Barnard 30! 🔭
These two observations were made with the NISP instrument.
M78: flic.kr/p/2pTgV2V
Barnard 30: flic.kr/p/2pTnugd

One challenge for identifying Passenger Pigeons is that birds in general are poorly represented in Minnesota zooarchaeology. The greatest representation is in the deciduous forest with 4% of the Number of Identified Specimens.

In medieval Europe, sedentary farming societies predominantly ate pork, whereas mobile pastoralists tended to eat horse #NationalBaconDay 🥓
Whilst horsemeat was popular in rural parts of Hungary, demographic changes largely eradicated its consumption.

Little primer on quantifying human remains, using some of my work as an example. A thread.
As a commercial bioarchaeologist I use three primary ways of quantifying remains: Number of identified specimens (NISP), Minimum number of individuals (MNI) and weight (1/5)

Quand on regarde cette nébuleuse dans les couleurs visibles, elle apparaît toute sombre, on ne voit quasiment rien. Mais cette image a été prise par NISP, l'instrument infrarouge d'Euclid, qui permet justement d'observer à travers ces poussières, révélant de magnifiques structures ! 🤩

Zum #TagDerRaumfahrt wollen wir Euch in Bonn am 29. März 32 Exponate zeigen. Eines davon hat einen besonderen Weg. 🏔️🚡Das Nahinfrarot-Spektrometer und Photometer NISP, die Optik des Euclid-Weltraumteleskops, kommt vom Observatorium auf dem Wendelsteingipfel (1.838 Meter Höhe/Bayerische Alpen) zu uns.

It's funny they are sheep to me. Imagine escaping from Eteocypriots (our ancient ancestors) only to be a shy sheep for millennia.
Cyprus emerged from the sea / was never connected to the mainland: so cool how all terrestrial mammals can be traced. NB: we domesticated cats!

Mais lorsque l'on regarde la lumière infrarouge qu'elle émet, une myriade d'étoiles et de structures se dévoilent, de même que de lointaines galaxies en arrière plan !
L'image est par l'instrument NISP de notre cher Euclid, qui observe justement ces couleurs (ces "longueurs d'onde") infrarouges.

In 2009, following disruptions at the National Research Universal (NRU) reactor, the Government of Canada launched the Non-reactor-based Isotope Supply Contribution Program (NISP), which challenged researchers to find new ways to produce critical medical isotopes.
