Hi! I am a scientist and product / data enthusiast by day and a professional harpist by night. I specialize in earth sciences with a focus on remote sensing, this carries over to the immersive products and data I create. A celtic harpist at heart, I am learning more jazz and experimental harp.

Now I've had a chance to read Andrea Sella's article in @chemistryworld.com on why he returned his Royal Society Faraday Medal. I recommend that you read it too. It's inspiring, though inevitably also disturbing, in these troubled times.

This is my most technically ambitious podcast episode so far, comparing excerpts from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier in different tuning systems. I have tried this idea in various formats over the years, maybe the podcast is the right one. ethanhein.substack.com/p/what-does-...
What does The Well-Tempered Clavier sound like in actual well temperament?
TL;DR very different than it does in twelve-tone equal temperament and in my opinion way cooler

On March 12th, I'd like to talk about Dorothy Jeanne Thompson, a harpist, composer, and singer who is better known as Dorothy Ashby.
Although she wasn't the first jazz harpist, she did more than anyone else in the 1950s and 1960s to establish the harp as an improvising instrument within the genre.

It’s Women’s History Month; I love Black women; and I love talking about music. Therefore, I’m gonna do something fun on the skyline to combine these three things.
Every day in March, I’m gonna talk about a Black female musician who inspires me, with links to some of my favorite songs of theirs.

The idea of renaming "Greenland" to "Red, White and Blueland" must have come from our 2020 Science paper where we (Ben Smith and 14 others) used NASA's ICESat and ICESat-2 laser altimetry to show how much the ice sheet surface went up or down in 16 years.

If mapping is a form of writing, this is re-writing and erasing.
Google said Monday it will change the name of Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” after the government updates its “official government sources.”
The company also said it will start using Mount McKinley, which is currently called Denali.
