For my paying Subscribers, here is a very condensed (for length) version of my transcript for Schiaparelli’s Zodiac Collection, a talk I gave last year (virtually) for The Last Tuesday Society. Substack has no PowerPoint option so you’ll have to make do with a PDF of slides for now, but I’ll soon create audio recordings to accompanying the PointPoint, or upload the live lectures themselves. Enjoy!
