New paper alert! In our new paper @plosone.org, lead author Arianny Storari collected, reared, and analyzed decay and disarticulation of hundreds of aquatic insects, and compared them to Crato Formation fossils to figure out what happened to them before they fossilized. doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Um mundo sem David Lynch é um mundo infinitamente menos interessante

Director-writer David Lynch, who radicalized American film with with a dark, surrealistic artistic vision in films like “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive” and network television with “Twin Peaks,” has died. He was 78. bit.ly/40is3yQ

“El ocaso de los ídolos” es un libro de Nietzsche y una tesis en la que insiste con frecuencia: toda imagen idealizada está condenada a destruirse-La perfección del mundo o de los individuos es una ficción perseguida incluso por la filosofía en medio de una realidad fragmentario.

A minha obsessão atual é a serial killer do bolo. Imagina os advogados fazendo cartinha para a imprensa sobre o contexto das buscas dela no Google e aí descobrindo que a polícia achou as notas fiscais salvas no celular.

If this reaches any Cornell alums, letters of support directed to Cornell would be appreciated and could be sent to PRI. We were only affiliated in the most tenuous manner with Cornell and while many faculty are supportive admin is hesitant to help given circumstances.

In the spirit of our commitment to being a community resource, we are reopening #NHMLA to the public this weekend with free general admission to offer our indoor spaces as a place of respite and for comfort and connection with our natural and cultural worlds.

Detailed article about PRI and the Museum of the Earth's current struggles. If the museum closes it may be the largest collection dispersed/lost in the US (with 7 million specimens it is one of the 10 largest in the US). ⚒️🧪🦑 Please share widely and help if you can! ithacavoice.org/2025/01/muse...

The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period. More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements, made by thousands of people over many decades, have been condensed into a single number.

Just saw a no-longer relevant evacuation notice on instagram from five hours ago and remembered — that’s right, due to hyper-monetization every major social network no longer shows you life-saving breaking news as it happens. They turned it over to an algorithm that finally noticed “he likes fire.”

Museum curators: I’m helping to set-up a fossil collection/lab in a Global South country where it’s difficult to get/expensive to import plastazote. What might be an easy to obtain alternative material to support specimens within boxes?

Trace fossil evidence of inept predators bring me much joy. And yes, if you're a predatory gastropod and drilled on the inside surface of a long-dead clam shell, you are officially an inept predator.

I have an article on this very topic back at my old blog: www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/na...

Just so, so ballsy to put an image of something that we 100% know is the heat signature of an airplane on the cover of your book about UFOs.

New paper by @davehone.bsky.social and myself in @peerj.bsky.social - A giant specimen of Rhamphorhynchus muensteri and comments on the ontogeny of rhamphorhynchines - is published! peerj.com/articles/185...

I'll have to pay for the several extra figures in our upcoming paper and it will cost me under 200 dollars. It will be fully open access! 😁 Long live not-for-profit journals!

This is a reminder that 30% of California’s firefighters are inmates who are working in dangerous conditions for ~$2 per hour; many of which are not eligible for a job with the dept upon release despite having training & knowledge.

it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories

Há cinco anos, o secretário de cultura de Bolsonaro fazia um pronunciamento inspirado em Goebbels e no “valor” da arte nacional-socialista. Ontem, Fernanda Torres ganhou o Globo de Ouro de melhor atriz em um filme sobre uma família perseguida pela ditadura e atacada pelo clã Bolsonaro. Tempo rei.
