@OhUrbanity @aphorism_monkey @mindstalk Unfortunately it is, mostly because Ottawa is literally the same size as Luxembourg :( Its such a pity its the only thing it shares with Lux

After putting together an extraordinary amount of archival and photographic evidence corroborated by independent expert witnesses, GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ have recognised the College Historical Society of Trinity College Dublin as the oldest student society in the world!

@AdamKoszary Its actually kinda comforting to read that I wasn't alone in thinking stores are super unsecured - where are all the lasers, the movies lied to me!

Do #Barbie and #Ken ever get old? No! At least not in the perfect #Barbieland! How does it work from the chemical point of view? Degradation of poly(vinyl chloride)–used to make #Barbie heads-was studied in our recent paper published in #HeritageScience at https://t.co/rdpiWUrx97

@tcdlibrary @UkNatArchives So distinctive I used it as an example in my PhD thesis... I do miss that smell!

[Mark Kearney, Ph.D. @makearne]

@ABetterOttawa It's not even about prioritizing people for this, it's the city authorities realizing it's not safe to have cars drive when thousands of people will be on the streets... Ottawa is the ONLY place I know that allows this type of situation

[Mark Kearney, Ph.D. @makearne]

@ABetterOttawa Turning on red lights, slip lanes, orange lights that change too fast compared with speed/breaking distance (combined with red light cameras) which encourage ppl to speed through... to my E.U brain this city is basically unwalkable

Take a look at what my day job is like! I helped produce this short video on some of the services we offer here at CCI. Spaces with heritage collections that are open to the Canadian public are eligible for our services at no cost https://t.co/hqXfUBjBtQ

@ABetterOttawa @PhilRaoult But the best option is just remove cars from the central part, there really is no benefit to having them there in the first place

[Mark Kearney, Ph.D. @makearne]

@ABetterOttawa @PhilRaoult One super easy way to improve Lansdowne without actually changing much is to improve the delineation between what is a pavement and what is a road, right now people walk onto the road without noticing... its just terrible design 1/2

[Mark Kearney, Ph.D. @makearne]

@OccTranspo I dont know whats worse... @OC_Transpo service or the fact they 'invested' in something that can in all likelihood only store six bikes comfortably...

[Mark Kearney, Ph.D. @makearne]

Really good read from the @NYT_first_said https://t.co/N2ERvERS2X #conservation #heritage #books

[Mark Kearney, Ph.D. @makearne]

Also... how cool is this slide!!! #conservation #modernmaterials

[Mark Kearney, Ph.D. @makearne]

I mean its technically work... but i never thought id be listening to a talk about the conservation of #WWE clothing 🤭 @WWE @FIT @IcomOfficiel

[Mark Kearney, Ph.D. @makearne]

@kcrw Miles Davis - kind of blue

[Mark Kearney, Ph.D. @makearne]

@IconMMN @Fabiana_P_ Very jealous of you all! Wish I could have gone!

[Plastics Historical Society @plastiquarian1]

So you thought #Cellophane was just for wrapping your sandwiches in? Think again. In 1933 starlets were dressing in it for movie chorus lines. It was a 'Fashion of the Future' apparently

[Mark Kearney, Ph.D. @makearne]

@Jenny_Conserv Easy... its always n+1

[Katherine Curran @Kcurran6K]

An interesting heritage science job opportunity in plastics conservation! https://t.co/EKuwQ6JhwZ Please pass on to anyone you think would be interested!
