Joined an amazing tour by Ian with @Library_Vic. What a library with beautiful interconnected buildings and interesting history. Tours are led by volunteers and free to sign up - highly recommend.
They have Sir Isaac Newton’s Principia Mathematica on display until 12th May. 😮

During the pandemic, I teamed up with @library_vic to create a series of videos exploring the neuroscience of magic.
You can now download the videos, and the instructions for how to do the tricks, at my brand new website for schools: njjohnson.com.au/

Libraries have always been my favorite places — especially when it’s cold outside.
There are several lists of the 30+ most beautiful public libraries in the world.
My goal is to visit as many as I can.
Here’s a few so far: Beinecke, Trinity, Vasconcelos, Victoria.

The State Library of Victoria is definitely worth a visit. They have a wonderful display of old books, and fantastic architecture.

Tomorrow I’ll be the guest of @Library_Vic where we will sound the alarm on the disturbing rise of state-sponsored book censorship in the US and other parts of the world.
Join the conversation: slv.vic.gov.au/whats-on/dang…
The US has seen a rise in book bans over the past two years, with thousands of publications removed from school bookshelves. Now librarians are warning the push for censorship is widening. @TracieDHall1 is the fmr head of the American Librarian Association. #abc730 @latingle
