You're always interesting, @AtlasObscura. Love the quote by our own Marieka Kaye, "We always want to find new tools, new techniques, and new ideas to bring to our work.” Why Scientists Are Mixing Wasabi and Ancient Papyrus: myumi.ch/mZAwZ

One of the lovely things on google books is having access not only to pretty much any 16th-century text but also finding the annotations of previous owners -- and in this case quite a famous humanist. google.co.uk/books/edition/E…

I love Google Books! I type in John Rowe's Diary, the Boston merchant, and there it is at my finger tips albeit with edits from his GGG niece circa 1903.

I've been having a lot of fun messing around with the Google Books Ngram Viewer. Kind of like Google trends but it's looking specifically at books. Below are uses of the word "nuclear" in English vs. Russian books. Pretty neat! 🤓 books.google.com/ngrams/
