Happy centenary Sir David! Are there one hundred things named after David Attenborough? Surely we should be able to compile a list… I will start: 1. Attenborosaurus a plesiosaur from the Jurassic Coast en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenbo... Let’s see if we can get to 100! /🧵

There were a lot of weird chemical reactions that had to occur through Earth's history to make Earth habitable. Getting rid of barium and sulfides was one of them and might have happened very fast in the late Ediacaran. 🧪⚒️ Link: https://academic.oup.com/nsr/article/11/8/nwae237/7710134​

Class in the US is entirely a matter of aesthetics now. Rich suburban kids are “country”. Beard Dudes who look like they love IPAs are “working class.” Teachers who make $32,000 a year but have to dress up sort of nice in JCPenney clothes are “elites“. None of these words mean anything anymore.

US people start tweaking when you mention socioeconomic class, something that is quantifiable, relative wealth from assets, savings & salary. Class is a taboo topic in their DEI spaces.

Dear Luigi

This sort of nonsense clickbait headline makes me so cross. There aren’t “more bones” in babies, there are just bones that are still growing, which begin as a cartilage model with different ossification centres. www.forbes.com/sites/scottt...

Marine biologist Eugenie Clark was born 104 years ago today. Hers is a complicated story filled with practices, which read as chilling to us today, that were simply the state of marine biology of that time, and credit ought to be given to her for helping lead us out of that era tinyurl.com/563476fr

Weird thing with men assuming women don't talk to each other. Or harassers are surprised when their victims communicate. It's almost as if people without empathy and genuine sense of community, struggle comprehending other people have lives.
