LasChamp Event
people of ancient dawn
survive thousand year shift
polarity change
A Scifaiku by Wendy Van Camp
Illustrated by Wendy Van Camp
Scifaiku poem inspired by the current trend of the weakening of the magnetic north. Science postulates that the Earth’s poles might flip again, as it has done 41 thousand years ago. This geomagnetic switch of the past is known as the “LasChamp Event”. Our ancestors survived the change, but one wonders at what cost will it come to us?

Scifaiku poem inspired by a TED talk about how algorithm bias doesn’t factor in certain facial types for identification purposes. A coding problem that needs to be solved so that services will be available to everyone equally.
