Leaving Vilnius after a fruitful week of work at the Astronomical Observatory in Moletai and at the University's Physics Department where I gave a talk to a large and interested audience: "What killed the dinosaurs? and other science stories that you were wrongly told”.

The mathgenealogy.org allows us to reconstruct our academic genealogy: I was a student of B. Jones, who in turn was a student of M. Rees, who in turn was a student of D.

Challenging the popular conception that asteroid impacts caused the extinction of dinosaurs, "The Last Extinction" is Gerta Keller’s reflection on one of the nastiest controversies in the modern history of the earth sciences.

“With a remarkable eye for dramatic detail…the book makes a persuasive case…An authoritative look at one of the most misunderstood cataclysms in the planet’s history.” Foreword magazine on Gerta Keller's THE LAST EXTINCTION. Full review here: bit.ly/46xrZzu @diversionbooks.bsky.social

Princeton paleontologist Gerta Keller's book, "The Last Extinction", is being published tomorrow, September 9th. "The Reinvention of Science" already addressed the debate on the extinction of the dinosaurs: a bolid impact (Alvarez) or extreme volcanism in India (Keller) 🧪⚛️🔭🦕@lissawarren.bsky.social

Yes, you are right. In the Preface of the book we talk🧪 about science and truth: "Our “true” is just the ideas (theories, hypotheses, models and scenarios) that agree most closely with the results of observations and experiments" at a given moment. 🧪⚛️🔭

Engaging article by Dr. Sara Giordano in @theconversation.com.

This is a fantastic new @chanda.bsky.social. I hope to read it soon. Your description is very promising. A poem by Alexander Pope, introduced to me by my co-author Virginia Trimble, led us to write "The Reinvention of Science." By the way, I'm just finishing your first book. #womeninstem 🧪⚛️🔭

What caused the extinction of the dinosaurs? The bolide impact that created the Chicxulub crater (Alvarez’s hypothesis) or the extreme volcanism that produced the Deccan Traps in India as paleontologist Gerta Keller argues?
