A 126,000-year-old butt-drag just made fossil history. A tiny rock hyrax scooted across the sand of ancient South Africa, and that moment was preserved in stone. Even the smallest acts can echo through time. 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/dcGWTR4

Canids seem to be the routine lovers, reusing their travel routes more than felids. This shapes hunting, encounters, and even disease spread. Insights from 1,239 GPS-tracked carnivores, including the Arctic foxes we track on Bylot Island 🧪🌿🌎🌐🦊. Read in the latest PNAS at bitly.cx/TxI2

This was fascinating, especially the parts about research funding. Let’s some the government is listening and starts building instead of more austerity 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Those of us in STEM must vocally affirm that the humanities are our allies, and no department is expendable. Arguing we can survive by cutting whole disciplines isn’t just inhumane, it’s nonsensical. The humanities tell us why we’re here in the first place, and what to do about it! This isn’t hard!

Yes! Several recent invited reviewers did this. Hugely helpful!

Re: sci-comm you ingest: how much open condemnation of administration & anti-science American culture is helpful? I debate this constantly, *trying* to inform & not alienate the people who need to hear it MOST but I have also fucking HAD it. Frog pot is at a roiling boil & some ppl won't listen

Seconded! And if you can't review please suggest alternates. Early career folks are always welcome and lots of journals make it easy to co-review with a trainee. If you're new and want reviewing opportunities make sure your Google Scholar, Scopus and ORCID etc are up to date so we can find you!

Science friends, life is difficult now, but please still try to peer review papers if you can. I'm the editor handling a paper that just had it's 43rd person decline to review. We may have to reject it because no one is willing to review it, which sucks for the authors.

Things i didn't go into education to be (presented in order of best rhetorical impact): 1) a shill for tech company marketing hype 2) a cop surveiling my students & trying to "catch" anyone who falls for the tech co. marketing hype permeating their entire sociocultural milieu So you see my dilemma

EdTech consultant: "it will save you so much time." Meanwhile educators are told to design at-home assignments encouraging AI use and class time to discuss how the chatbot failed. This is the new model of education, the point of which IS to make it a big waste of time.

No, a LOT of them think that. Science may be one of the most social forms of knowledge production we have. Arguably it’s at least as social as creative writing. Actual scientists will tell you this. Yet, millions of people think they can do science alone with an LLM.

Are you a PhD student, have an offer, or have had an offer recently rescinded from a US university? If so, Western (in London, ON, Canada) has a new scholarship program for you! Check out this news story. I can vouch for this university! You will love it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

And “hard science” careers are also WRITING INTENSIVE jobs! Want to be an astronomer, biologist, or chemist? You’ll spend years writing reports, grants, papers, reviews, reference letters, etc. Writing is never easy, but it’s much *easier* if you’re trained how to outline and structure text.
