How and what universities teach is in constant flux, most notably in the literature canon. “It seems likely that the idea of a canon itself was weakened” @opensyllabus @FastCompany https://t.co/ml4g7uK5O4

Kudos to @Apple for making so many accessibility improvements to iOS for users with color blindness and/or motion sensitivity. Digital learning materials can benefit from similar considerations and we’re striving to include them in our designs.

Whistles can get attention and be heard long distances, but they can also form a complex language. A few months ago, we highlighted Sfyria, from Greece, but there is also a beautiful “bird language” from Turkey.

What’s the most obscure language you know? Ever heard of Booráá? Lehali? How about Mirandese? Or Tok Pisin? A new Brooklyn-based startup is trying to document every language spoken in the world.

Pokémon certainly provides its share of fun and games, but is there a chance that it can also give clues to how the mind processes language? https://t.co/JzpGh24kh9

In 1959 C.P. Snow gave an almost famous lecture on "The Two Cultures," a divide between the humanities and the sciences. Yet, maybe things like science comedy, science fiction, science advisors for film and television show progress in the 60 years since.
