[…] rule of thumb here at Scouted is that if you have less than 10 years of experience, keep your resume to one page. In fact, we’ve seen employers automatically turn down people with less than 10 years of […]
Though NFL Draft viewership is lower than the league’s usual standards for games, many sports would love to have a fraction of the audience that tuned in on Thursday to see Caleb Williams go to the Chicago Bears with the No. 1 pick. In 2023, the National Football League welcomed 11.29 million viewers to its…
Two Harvard professors looked into the future of AI’s impact on the world wide web and what they saw wasn’t pretty. Judith Donath, a fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, and Bruce Schneier, a fellow and lecturer at the Harvard Kennedy School published their projections in The Atlantic. Here’s a short […]

When Google said this week it will delay the deprecation of third-party cookies in Chrome for the third time, it cited the need to give the U.K.-based Competition and Markets Authority sufficient time to review the cookie-replacement tools it’s developing. These tools are called the Privacy Sandbox and the CMA, a regulatory body that must…
After President Joe Biden signed a bill that could ban TikTok in the U.S., its Chinese owner ByteDance is considering selling the popular platform. But a TikTok suitor would need more than both regulatory approval and the stomach to operate a social media company. It would also need the technical chops to rebuild its powerful…
The appearance allowed President Biden to tell the stories of love and loss that have defined his public image.
Long before Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and his 776 Foundation arrived at The Sports Bra in Portland, Ore., this month, announcing plans to help franchise it, owner Jenny Nguyen envisioned a place for underrepresented communities to come together and watch underscreened sporting events. In February 2022–before Reddit co-founders, before pop-ups with Athletes Unlimited in Chicago…
The world has changed a lot since the early aughts, but Ogilvy and Mather’s “Wanta Fanta” earworm is still going strong. The fun-loving spirit of the original campaign, first introduced to us by the dance group the Fantanas in 2002, has now been remixed and reimagined for Gen Z. Embracing enjoyment and pleasure over necessity…
This Is NOT An Artifact catalogs 15 years of investigation by the Center for PostNatural History. Featuring essays and photography by founder Rich Pell, and a catalog of PostNatural organisms featuring contributions by Center for Genomic Gastronomy, Terike Haapoja & Laura Gustafsson, Steve Rowell, Nicholas Daly, Ian Nagoski, Roderick Williams and Oron Catts & Ionat Zurr. Includes 3D glasses.
The Museum of PostNatural History in Pittsburgh is the world’s only museum dedicated to all the organisms that have been deliberately modified by humans. It informs visitors about the bacteria, animals, plants and other life forms that are all too often denied a place in Natural History Museums and zoos. As diverse as the rio red grapefruit, the turnspit dog, the bh5n1 bird flu vaccine egg, the glowing bunnies or the seedless watermelon, these organisms have one thing in common: they have been deliberately and heritably transformed by humans.

The book, devised as a compact version of the museum, investigates a key question: “What do living artifacts tell us about the cultures who create them?”
One clear answer is that these genetically modified organisms invite us to look at life through a deliberately anthropocentric lens. Even though humans are far from being the only factor that influences evolution, the long history of domestication and selective breeding as well as the practices of genetic engineering and synthetic biology have shaped a world where most non-human mammals are the ones favoured by humans. When measured by biomass, the book explains, only 4% of mammals on Earth are wild, 60% are domesticated and the rest are us. Our impact on who and what gets to live is such that some plants and animals can no longer reproduce without our help, that some mammals require human assistance to give birth and that others that we love dearly are suffering because of our preferences for specific traits.

I ordered the book on Kickstarter a couple of years ago, i frantically opened all the email updates that Rich Pell sent us and almost lost hope of ever seeing a printed version. One day, the book finally landed on my doorstep. It is as fun, intelligent and stimulating as I could hope. It’s packed with photos and anecdotes about
fancy rats beloved by Victorian era women, the horrific distribution of smallpox blankets to American natives, Birmingham roller pigeons, pregnancy test frogs and the Q fever biological weapon. It tells the stories of organisms that underwent genetic manipulation such as the ribless mouse embryo created to study the function of genes that control the development of body patterning in vertebrae, the infertile male screwworms engineered to eradicate other screwworms feeding on living cows, the blight-resistant American Chestnut Tree and goats that produce spider silk in their milk. It makes you wonder about the soundness of giving birth to a “de-extinct” Woolly Mammoth that will not really be a Woolly Mammoth. Or the ethics of creating the first potentially viable human/monkey chimeric embryos that might, one day, enable us to grow non-rejectable organs and tissues for humans.
Just like the museum itself, the book offers the public information and space to form their own opinion about the ethics and politics of manipulating the fabric of life. It raises many ethical questions and gives us some of the tools and data to draw our own conclusions.

Brands thrive by channeling their creative energies into what works–and away from what doesn’t. Yet many marketers and agencies focused on DEI in marketing aren’t hitting the mark when it comes to widening the aperture of the gender lens. Accordingly, they’re missing the chance to invite people to see themselves in the products and services…
