Kids grow up and become parents, or at least stand alone adults, so what happens when a WordPress child theme can absorb their parent? Is this metaphor slipping down a slipper slope? So here is the situation. Both my Daily Blank (a theme to create your own version of the DS106 Daily Create) theme and […] 
What does DNA stand for? I would never have thought I could find the answer in a picture book. "The Baby Biochemist-DNA" does an incredible job of nailing the important aspects of DNA structure. Primary kids even will understand what DNA does in their cells. They'll get a jump-start on biology concepts they'll learn more about in high school. I recommend this book for primary, middle school and high school kids. Its straight forward, simple but bang on explanation of cell structure down to the DNA level is also entertaining. The illustrations are fabulous. This is a must add to your book collection for any level of science teaching.

I am letting go of keeping updates from all of the conferences I attend and talks I give, but I am always eager to connect with others and want to share what lies ahead. If you are unable to attend, please check @jgieseking for tweets from events.
I am terrifically honored to have my article, “Where Are We? The Method of Mapping with GIS in Digital Humanities,” in the the new issue of American Quarterly (70.3), “Toward a Critically Engaged Digital Practice: American Studies and the Digital Humanities.” is out! I hope this paper makes inroads between critical GIS as a product of geography and the equally innovative work on GIS in DH.
Research in digital humanities (DH) is at its strongest when interdisciplinary and American Studies makes a space for that sort of work. Edited by Lauren Tilton, Amy Earhart, Matt Delmont, Susan Garfinkel, Jesse P. Karlsberg, and Angel David Nieves and including work from colleagues and/or role models (many of whom I am lucky enough to call friends), I believe that this issue speaks to exciting interventions and contributions. Given that the article is fully open access (bravx to the editors and AQ…
