It's been a very long time since I've posted on Twitter, but I thought I should share this story that UW-Madison has just released about my upcoming retirement celebration next weekend: ls.wisc.edu/news/delayed-g…

NYT article with excellent animated graphics compares US and Japanese building practices address (or not addressing) earthquake risk: nyti.ms/2K6XVle
It's true that I've never published a word from this long-ago project, though it did eventually leading (via a rather winding path) to the book Nature's Metropolis. I'm grateful that @samwetherell took the trouble to have a look at it!

I've somehow never before stumbled on the Weather Spark website, which has amazingly detailed graphical summaries of weather/climate data for many major cities/airports everywhere on earth. Well worth bookmarking for future reference: weatherspark.com
Remembering my friend David Brion Davis, who died this past Sunday: a giant who helped redefine our understanding of the history of slavery not just in the United States but in the world. RIP. nyti.ms/2VLWOtu
Nicely presented reprinting @PlacesJournal of Benton MacKaye's 1921 article proposing the creation of an "Appalachian Trail," with an excellent introdution by Garrett Dash Nelson @en_dash. If you've never read this classic piece, here's your chance! bit.ly/2Ih7Bb9
I finally got over to Special Collections at UW-Madison's Memorial Library today to see the wonderful new exhibition on the life and work of Aldo Leopold. If you can get there before May 24, you won't regret it: bit.ly/2J918kE
The periodic table is 150 years old this week. Here's a nice explainer @TheEconomist about the story of how it came into being: econ.st/2EkIiSc
An amazing victory for public lands today, including after years of effort permanent reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). It likely won't get the notice it deserves because of other news, but this is a really big story! bit.ly/2BVNBXB
Apologies for the self-promotion, but I can't resist sharing this one: bit.ly/2GsqyHN
If you haven't yet seen the superb NYT graphic narrative on the Brazilian dam collapse at Brumadinho on 1/25/19, it's not to be missed: nyti.ms/2GmQYeb
Very cool: subscribers to National Geographic @NatGeo now have access to more than 6000 high-resolution digital versions of the maps it has published since 1888: bit.ly/2GbfBFT (alas, you have to locate them by browsing individual issues, but still...)
Excellent graphical presentation does nice job of explicating the impacts and hazards associated with the current eruption of Kilauea: nyti.ms/2jUPaMa
Just learned that the University of Iowa has digitized 11,000 of J N "Ding" Darling's famous editorial cartoons, many about wildlife and conservation: well worth perusing. digital.lib.uiowa.edu/ding/
Impressive multimedia cartographic presentation of the many threats facing long-distance migratory shorebirds: nyti.ms/2vWWTSE
I've previously posted the wonderful digital archive for US national parks at npshistory.com but didn't know there's such a site for Canadian parks too: parkscanadahistory.com Definitely worth bookmarking and perusing!
While I'm celebrating maps @librarycongress, here's an online version of their helpful 1996 guide to different genres of cartographic documents: loc.gov/rr/geogmap/gui…
Just revisiting the digital map collections @librarycongress, which are extraordinary. If you've not perused them, you should: bit.ly/2Jq4YSA
