Exactly what an H. sapiens would say... "For instance, Harris et al. demonstrated through model simulations how inbred Neanderthals (Homo neandertalensis) benefited genetically when introgressed with modern humans (H. sapiens), even with the loss of a significant portion of their native ancestry."

I will be tuning in to the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the NRC hearing on Exploring the Potential of Deep-Sea Mining to Expand American Mineral Production. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s75c...

Maybe not…

This is terrible, horrible, no good, very bad news. I think I may move to Australia.

What an apropos post while the Florida legislature contemplates preempting any regulation of single use plastic by local governments or state agencies, including in our treasured springs and state parks.

“It is sad, a sad day when our government would fire some good employee, and say it was based on performance, when they know good and well, that’s a lie,” Alsup said. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Anybody else feel like this administration is shrinking your telomeres?

I think about this a lot.

Throughout history, humans have habitually treated the ocean as an infinite waste repository, using this flawed perspective to justify environmentally harmful practices.

Because to be in a small world is much more soothing than the big world these days. #photography #nature #lichen

They're evil, but also stupid as hell. My latest with some details on who has been targeted at various agencies, and how much it all sucks. "They want to break things, and unlike building things, that can be done badly with pretty much the same result."

Another word for "regulation" is... "consumer protection" "environmental protection" "Regulation" means your milk is safe. "Regulation" means toys that harm your babies are removed from the shelves. "Regulation" means chemical companies can't dump waste in your river.

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

🌊🐙🪸 #MarineSky folks, spam me with your most comprehensive articles about the broad conservation benefits of marine protected areas. And, if you think MPAs are bad, open to critiques.

"You are exactly who you need to be." Doechii’s historic Grammy win wasn’t just a moment—it was a message.

If someone a) has a financial incentive to oppose green energy, b) has never given a shit about whales before, and c) is a lying liar, There’s no reason to treat their claim that “we have to stop green energy to save the whales” as a serious point raised in good faith.

Do you think exploratory oil drilling is a good idea in critical watersheds that support biodiversity and clean water? Me either! #killthedrillfl www.killthedrillfl.org

The United States is now producing enough domestic solar to cover nearly all annual deployment. That's what policy can do, folks! And a majority of these jobs are in Republican districts.

Now that we are in December.

It’s a question we ask all the time.

Food I already love 🤝places I love to be conserved

I head someone explain this as “Good weird is being weird about your own business, bad weird is being weird about other people’s business” and I thought that summed it up pretty well.

The five flavors of climate denial. Doesn’t matter which one you pick, they all lead to the same conclusion - preventing climate action.

I knew this was a ruined yard just like mine in FL 🦋🐦🌼

Great experience, cool people, highly recommend 👇 🦈

New: Climate Central study shows climate change increased the intensity for most Atlantic hurricanes from 2019 to 2023 and for every storm in 2024. 30 of 38 hurricanes in the study reached intensities roughly one category higher compared to their expected strength in a world without climate change.

Our unofficial response to Trump's cabinet selections so far:

As a professional ethicist, I implore you: BE UNGOVERNABLE!

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

I haven’t stopped thinking about this:🦈 Does this mean WE need to be the charismatic megafauna? #sciencerizz pretty sure this isn’t the right usage but let’s make it a thing

Thank you! aka “ReGARds,” from me and the gars👍

Was this the harbinger of not understanding how reproductive systems work and we didn't realize it?

Morning reflections:

Repost this please.

🤯 Scientist: facts are what the people need Other scientist: In fact, we’ve tested it and that doesn’t work Scientist: well I still believe it does because of who I am as a person Other scientist: would it feel better to look at a graph together? 🫱🏼‍🫲🏾
