It often seems like they're actively working to befoul employees' work environments and cut down morale. This is a weird one though...

The needless nastiness of the screeners is remarkable. Shines a very negative light on the US.

...though the following years showed that Crick (not so much Watson) had always thought years ahead, anticipated the consequences of each result to a remarkable degree, and knew intuitively what would come next.

Rather a good article. She seems strong and wonderful but the backstory seems a little more nuanced.

Oooooh, interesting.

does, doesn't it! But - what story?

You need to be careful with perceptual artifacts in LUTs like fire - people can envisage a sharp boundary at articular places where there is none.
Better to use a "perceptually even" gradient like Viridis from matplotlib.

(but - old movie codecs are not good - Keynote does you a favour by making you recompile your movies to modern specs - use ffmpeg or HandBrake.
It can be a bore needing to, though)

Infinitely better solution - if you have a Mac use Keynote. If you possibly can. There is almost no area in which it's not superior.

Except compatibility - both directions - it won't accept old movie codecs, and rigid organisers sometimes look at you and say "we need your PowerPoint on a stick".

Aha!
It had fooled me!
