Here I am. Once again. I'm out of archaeologists.
We matched 576 groups w/archaeologists, leaving 13 groups unmatched. This brings me pain! We've never run out of scientists like this before. 598 requests for one category is A LOT. But still.

Great new tool from Flickr foundation - the Data Lifeboat, to package up Flickr image collections and get them out of dodge quickly, with metadata and readmes. Speaking to urgency of portability of digital cultural heritage given current times. They need some testers to play and give feedback 👇
Even great code has some bugs!
Be among the first to try out our new Flickr archiving tool Data Lifeboat, and help us find those bugs! Head over to datalifeboat.flickr.org to get started.

I don’t know why this zoom hack didn’t occur to me until now, but if you have an activity where you want students/colleagues to call on each other/go around the virtual room—e.g. when making introductions—have everyone raise their hand & then lower them when done—no guessing as to who hasn’t gone

Two NEH sponsored institutes were so crucial to my education that I've used the training to teach hundreds of students over the last decade, and trained 1000s in critical thinking with digital technologies. NEH impacts go far beyond the researchers + initial audience. #LAWDI #MSUdai
