Scientists just recovered something inside a woolly mammoth no one thought could survive 40,000 years… and it reveals its final moments alive. Short below. 🧊🧬 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/IMz3XDO

A new method that analyzes limb proportions just added a surprising clue to the century-long Spinosaurus debate. Did it move underwater more than we thought? 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/2Fyl55H

Imagine digging into rock that should be almost lifeless… and uncovering an entire ocean community instead. That’s what a new discovery in the Arctic just revealed and it’s rewriting how we think life recovers after mass extinctions. 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/EgLsQb0

A team exploring a cave in New Zealand found a giant claw… with skin and muscle still attached. It looked fresh. It was 3,000 years old. Cold, sealed cave air preserved it for millennia. What was this? 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/CDkgjcS

234 million years ago, most of Pangaea was desert. Then forests suddenly spread across regions that should’ve stayed dry. A global water-cycle shift rewrote the landscape and opened the door for dinosaurs. Full story ↓ 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/cjvjx6S

What if I told you dinosaurs rose to power because Earth entered a rainstorm that lasted nearly TWO million years? My new video breaks down the event that changed everything 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/Z5IbhQX

Sabertooths lasted almost 20 million years. So why aren’t they still here? A new study suggests their extinction may be tied to something surprisingly simple: the slow decline of the prey they relied on. 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/M6S6gP0

Earth once froze so completely that glaciers reached the equator. Twice. And the new theory for why? Not asteroids. Not volcanoes. Plankton. How can microscopic organisms push a whole planet into a deep freeze? 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/JCRrMBN

"Knowledge can’t stay trapped in journals if it’s meant to help us make better choices."

My last research project showed that many mammals now live in climates different from the ones they occupied for thousands of years. Publishing it made me realize how often important science stays inaccessible and why I now focus on sharing it clearly. Full story ↓ 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/WMgl3kB

Everyone asks if T. rex had feathers. We do have skin impressions showing scales, but they’re tiny and found in sediments where feathers almost never fossilize. Early relatives had hair-like feathers, and many dinosaurs had mixed scales and feathers. So? 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/UArCXN0

We thought coelacanths barely changed for 380 million years… Until new research revealed they actually evolved, driven by what they least expected! 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/THflbyo

Scientists just found ancient air trapped in space dust. Tiny micrometeorites melt as they fall through our atmosphere, grab oxygen from the air, cool, and lock that signature inside. This could give us real samples of ancient air. Wild. 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/vGxDfWE

What if I told you that megalodon's biggest strength was also its deadly weakness? 🦈 The ocean's apex predator was killed by its own success. Here's the shocking science behind why being the biggest can make you the most vulnerable 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/Q6OG99D

What if I told you dinosaurs became rulers of Earth... because it rained for 2 MILLION YEARS? 🌧️🦕 Here's the mind-blowing science behind the Carnian Pluvial Episode that changed everything: 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/0Eer7xT

❄️ Earth once froze solid: glaciers at the equator, oceans sealed under ice for millions of years. Scientists finally think they know why: tiny plankton, oxygen & phosphorus flipped Earth’s thermostat into overdrive. Watch the story: 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/hbIKnSK

252 million years ago, Siberian volcanoes caused Earth's biggest extinction. But humans now release CO₂ 200x faster than those ancient eruptions It's not about total amounts, it's about speed. Volcanoes: 0.02-0.13 gigatons/year Humans: 36 gigatons/year 🧪 #SciComm 🧵 buff.ly/bSZMHLU

Every day, 40,000 tons of space dust hit Earth. Some grains survive and trap oxygen from our air inside them. Scientists just found 4 still holding that oxygen after tens or even hundreds of millions of years. Every shooting star writes our planet’s story. 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/rIQEyhv

Someone claimed ancient volcanoes emitted more CO₂ than humans ever could. The data says otherwise. Siberian Traps (252 million years ago): 0.02–0.13 gigatons of CO₂ per year, over ~300,000–500,000 years Humans today: ~36 gigatons per year 🧵 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/grYHtuc

NGC 6946, the Fireworks Galaxy, and open cluster NGC 6939. The latter is a loose collection of stars only ~4000 light years away, while the former is a gravitationally bound “island universe” about 25 million light years away. 5.7hrs, #Seestar S50 🔭 🧪 Siril, GraXpert, Starnet, GIMP

When carbon rises too fast, Earth's climate stability breaks. It happened 360 million years ago. It happened 280 million years ago (→ the biggest mass extinction). Today, we're releasing carbon faster than ancient volcanoes. The rhythm is breaking again. 🌍 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/eJ4ByQx

360 million years ago, Earth ran an experiment: What happens when volcanic CO₂ emissions spike? The result: climate chaos, ecosystem collapse, mass extinction. Today, we're running the same experiment, but faster. 🧪 #SciComm 🧵 buff.ly/7qHjLzb

Beneath the waves, something irreversible may have just happened. 84% of coral reefs worldwide just crossed a tipping point. If we don't act, 99% could be gone by 2050. But there's still time to change this story. 🧪 #SciComm youtube.com/shorts/FGHTn...

My YouTube Short about ancient lichens hit 1,000 views overnight. People wanted the full story. Here it is: how organisms smaller than your fingernail transformed a barren planet through cooperation, 410 million years before humans existed. 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/jsG4ME6

Earth had no trees 410 million years ago. What it had instead: fungi and algae working together as lichens, quietly breaking down rock and building the first real soils. They prepared the planet for everything that came after. Including us New study, new perspective 🌱 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/lsJFJSt

I want to set the record straight about some rumors I’ve been hearing… Yes, we've updated the Climate Ages logo! Can you guess what it represents?! Let me know in the comments! 🧪 #SciComm

Does anyone else here stop the radio in the car because “it won’t let me think in peace?” I think I’m in a love affair with silence.

Is it happening again? 🌊🪸 Millions of years ago, coral reefs collapsed as the planet overheated And now, it’s happening once more. Fossils reveal both warning and hope: reefs can recover, but only if we slow change enough to let them. 🧪 #SciComm 🎥 Watch or read: buff.ly/jlGRYIF

Coral reefs may have crossed a climate tipping point, but fossils reveal it’s not the first time. Ancient reefs collapsed, adapted, and recovered. Can we help them do it again? 🌊 🎥 Watch: 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/Yid0TnR

3-year-old opens the shower curtain. She didn’t get the memo that mommy wanted a quiet shower. 3yo: Mom! Are pterosaurs dinosaurs?! Okay, she’s yelling, but paleontology is an approved topic for interruptions. Me: Pterosaurs? No, they’re not dinosaurs! 3yo: Okay! (runs out) 🧵 🧪

What if the animals most at risk of extinction aren’t even on our radar yet? 🦎🌍 A new study (de Oliveira Caetano et al., 2025) created a tool to predict which species could struggle most as the planet warms. Reptiles may face the toughest future. 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/fzypqI7

The first fossilized butt drag was just documented. 126,000 years ago, a rock hyrax dragged its rear across sand in South Africa. Those grooves became stone. It’s hilarious AND scientifically important showing us how extinct species behaved in daily life. 🦴 🧪 #SciComm youtube.com/shorts/ykHKc...

A blood stem cell gene therapy co-developed by UCLA’s Dr. Donald Kohn restored immune function in 59 of 62 children with ADA-SCID, a rare and fatal immune disorder, with no serious complications reported. Long-term follow-up shows 95% success rate in largest study to date. ucla.in/4ojUZke 🧪

Microbes in groundwater are consuming enough methane to rival all wetland emissions combined. But we're drilling deeper and pumping harder than this ancient filter can handle. 183 million years ago, runaway methane killed 80% of marine life. Now we have a choice. 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/pazZ5qj
