"[...] Perché una volta che avete cominciato, [...] non c’è nessuna ragione che vi fermiate. Il passo tra la realtà che viene fotografata in quanto ci appare bella e la realtà che ci appare bella in quanto è stata fotografata, è brevissimo. [...] Basta che cominciate a dire di qualcosa: «Ah che bello, bisognerebbe proprio fotografarlo!» e già siete sul terreno di chi pensa che tutto ciò che non è fotografato è perduto, che è come se non fosse esistito, e che quindi per vivere veramente bisogna fotografare quanto più si può, e per fotografare quanto più si può bisogna: o vivere in modo quanto più fotografabile possibile, oppure considerare fotografabile ogni momento della propria vita .

As Altbach (2001, pg 3) expresses, the publishing industry faces three core problems in making information available to the public. The first is the "physical contraints" - the costs and technology needed to run the business and produce something (which, before digital media, usually had to tangible). The "complexity of creative and scholarly networks" means the publishing industry's ongoing struggle to excavate and discover "new talent" and subject matter, connect and build relationships with clients and judge and sell content. Finally, "social conditions" have a significant impact on the publishing industry, as this directly affects the public's ability to access information. But according to Shirky, these difficulties, complexities and expenses have stopped being a problem, thus dismantling the publishing industry. In short, digital and networked media may have made a publishing industry redundant.

2025 SSRL Scientific Development Award winner Kodi Thurber gives his talk on Advancing Operando Nanotomography and Resolving the Complexities of Volume Expansion in Ally Anodes. SLAC held the 2025 SSRL/LCLS Users' Meeting Plenary Session, which included award presentations, at Kavli Auditorium on September 25. This annual weeklong conference is a unique opportunity to gather together the light source community in a single scientific event that includes numerous presentations in the plenary, poster, and parallel sessions. Participants can learn about current/future facility capabilities and the latest user research and discuss science with colleagues from academia, research laboratories, and industry worldwide.

ed ma, my old school buddy, pick up the ball when Jega broke my heart and let hundreds of us down by bailing on the gig
Very complex reflections in stream. The concentric rings (visible in many places) are a bit of a mystery. I don't think they are caused by falling debris.
Needs to be see large to appreciate detail.

11.30–11.50 A DECLARATION OF INTERDEPENDENCE
From the Western myths of the lone hero-leader, to the founding stories of countries, companies and innovations, our iconic narratives celebrate individual genius and independence. They are seductive. But they are, for the most part, not true. And they are increasingly unhelpful in this era of complexity, decentralization, and diversity. This session is a declaration of interdependence and what this might mean for the practice of design going forward—so we can create products, services, organizations and communities in service of individual and collective thriving.
