An absolutely stunning photo! The 35m-long #Roman shipwreck, along with its cargo of 6,000 (!) amphorae was discovered in 2019 off the coast of the Greek Island of Kefalonia. It’s one of the largest Roman shipwrecks found in the Mediterranean. Photo: Ionian Aquarium 🏺 AncientBluesky

For Women's History Month, may we all remember and summon the courage of Rachel Carson, who wrote Silent Spring to inform the world what DDT was doing to the songbirds, raptors,and by extension, us. While battling cancer, she stood her ground against savage attacks by the chemical industry...

Catherine and her cat from Zaporizhzhia. She spent 5 hours under the rubble of her house, destroyed by a Russian missile. All this time she has been hugging her cat. P.S. Sorry she didn't wear a suit.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Captures it perfectly.

We’re deeply disappointed at the intervention by the PM to scupper a deal on the Nature Positive Bills, despite overwhelming support from everyday Australians. "We can't have a situation where this country is run by the mining lobby," said Biodiversity Council Director James Trezise to ABC News.

An Eastern Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca) feeds on the carcass of a Golden Jackal (Canis aureus), in Hungary. Being familiar with the sister species, the Spanish Imperial Eagle (Aquila adalberti), it has been great to be able to make comparisons. @stewartfinlayson.bsky.social @gibgerry.bsky.social

Here’s a starter pack of dad jokers. If you want to be included, reply with a dad joke and I’ll add my favourite ten. I’ll kick things off with the best dad joke I’ve ever come up with (so all downhill from here)… Why should a flat battery in a car be called a flattery? Because it gets you nowhere

Let's get fern-alicious! Our latest #EditorsChoice describes Sticheropsis, a new genus of forked fern (Gleicheniaceae) based on phylogenetic analysis! Read about it below 🧪🌿👇 academic.oup.com/botlinnean/a... @linneansociety.bsky.social #botany #plantscience

This was published a little while ago in @naturechemistry.bsky.social, but has just popped up in my issue e-alert. This is a delightful correspondence about fonts and chemistry; very much appealing to my inner chemistry nerd 🤣 #Chemsky

Very excited (and a bit nervous) to announce that I will be hiring two Postdocs for my new group(!) in Copenhagen to study the Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA which survives in present-day humans. Retweet will be much appreciated :) Link for application: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

We're probably going to see more of these sudden removals caused by panic-induced changes of policy further upstream. If you're using an online resource that's really important to your research, this is the moment to get your plan B in place. Eg: is there a data download, or an alternative source?

I’ve created a starter pack for #zooarchaeology and #biomolecular archaeology for all periods. Let me know if you want to be added go.bsky.app/Nv8XE4r 🦣🧪🏺🦴🦷

A study in Nature Communications shows that most buildings in eight global cities fail the 3-30-300 benchmark for urban nature, due to insufficient tree canopy. Cities need better planting conditions and governance to support tree growth. https://go.nature.com/3CM0B4y 🧪

📖 Hot off the press! Excited to announce our new book published by the Gibraltar National Museum, showcasing Gibraltar’s rich heritage and history.
