School Assembly - my work at the Natural History Museum
Notas del editor
- Over 80 million specimens documenting 4.5 billion years of life, the Earth and the solar system.
- Dinosaurs Memories from childhood Not everyone can come All of this information needs to be set free
- Over the next five years we plan to digitise a quarter of the Museum's flexible informatics and visualisation tools to analyse the data. How do we make the plants we eat resilient to environmental change? - How do we combat neglected tropical diseases? - How is climate change affecting pollinators and their food plants - And how do we minimise our impact on our planet as we continue to extract natural resources?

- Active research museum, scientists come from all around the world to study our collections, but it’s not an easy thing to have both a research budget and a travel budget that gives you the time you need And these collections can answer key questions about the geology of our planet and life on Earth.
- Not just past- also our future food security, invasive species, emerging diseases Our pollinators
- Labour intensive process Old school – happening behind closed doors
- We’ve hacked together some pretty ingenious rigs to get 360 imagery and labels from all angles
- CKAN from the OKFN Open Source on GitHub MapQuest & Open Street Map Built on APIs
- - micro-CT facility to scan the insects' brains in 3D, minute structures that would be damaged if the brains were removed. behaviour and memory Climate change impact on pollinators of our food
- for example - only near-complete skeleton of the Dodo is in Durban Remained unstudied until the 21st century 3D laser surface scanning The most complete anatomical atlas of the bird, unstudied for more than a century
