Amazed and enthralled! This gets it so right, taking unmanageable complexity and distilling it to it’s essence. I will use this immediately in our Climate Change Interpretive training program! So well done and thank you. Can’t wait to see more!

Wayne,

I most certainly agree with Natalie and the others about your mailings. You are managing to be ahead of many of us! The Anthropocene film would make a wonderful addition to what is shown on Science on a Sphere at many locations rather than on a flat screen

Keep up the great work.

Brenda

I think at times we are afraid to admit we have done some great things and we need to continue to do more but to do so sustainably. I am familiar with the Long Now Foundation. I have a couple of their books and have seen part of their clock. Very cool group. Someone needs to do an exhibition on their work/material.

Great visualizations – we could all do with a little less Yin and a little more Yang. It seems that up to now, the relative balance of the two has been more or less accidental as scientific discovery and technological development progressed with little understanding of the eventual global effects. Recently, hopefully, that has begun to change.
You might try Stewart Brand’s The Long Now Foundation website: http://longnow.org if you haven’t already seen it. It includes seminar podcasts, blogs, and ongoing projects.
Keep it up Wayne, your links are always interesting.

Natalie, I completely agree. I have thoroughly enjoyed and forwarded the majority of these finds and musings. Not only to colleagues, but to family and friends as well. Thanks again Wayne!

Natalie

Thanks!

You know it sort of follows one of our thoughts about exhibition/exhibit development and design. If you come up with an idea and you are like “wow I would like to do this exhibit” then it probably is a good exhibit because hey! we are people too. So when we some things that really excite or inspire us we thought hey! it probably would inspire other people too!

Cheers!

Hey Wayne,
Just wanted to let you know that I love your weekly inspiration emails…normally weekly emails from people are painful and after a while of receiving them, I just delete them without opening them.

My department, International Sales, have been very careful not to over-inundate our clients with emails/newsletters communications…but you really have managed to do this very nicely.

I am often delighted, surpised or intrigued by the content that you are sending.
Natalie
