Dr. Win's student made an amazing find - a possible Pontolis anklebone! The original namer of Pontolis was a Smithsonian scientist by the name of True, who had one of my favorite science portraits. Love the bowler. Mustache is also appropriate for someone who named a walrus.

Perentie monitors are some of the most beautiful lizards.

We are saddened by the loss of Asha Bhosle, who has died at the age of 92. The legendary Indian singer joined Kronos Quartet for 'You’ve Stolen My Heart,' an album of songs from the films of R.D. Burman, on Nonesuch in 2005. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/w...

Me, basically

For years I studied limpets, and they quietly invaded every corner of how I think. Evolution, cognition, human prehistory, climate science… it all starts with a small mollusc on a rock. The first episode of my series « A Natural History of Limpets » is about why nature keep producing limpets !

All you fascists bound to lose.

Murmur, the band’s debut studio album, was released 43 years ago on April 12, 1983. Produced by Mitch Easter & Don Dixon, Murmur remains, according to music journalist Tim Peacock, “one of the most compelling and otherworldly debut albums in rock history.” Share your Murmur memories in the comments.

Isn’t this a line from “Electric Avenue”?

This is one of the few times where comparing your pubis at work won't get you called into a meeting with HR. T. rex ar the top, the BCT specimen below

For #FossilFriday, here's the grumpy-faced Triassic/Jurassic ichthyosaur Leptonectes tenuirostris. I guess they've had a week of changing their tax system and non-stop IT issues too? They also had very large flippers, possibly for smashing computer keyboards. #fossil #paleoart #paleontology #art

Two dumb guys #fossilfriday

Your boy is out here promoting gilles deleuze and ted hughes to the paleontologists so yeah still on my same bullshit

I am so unbelievably proud to present 8 years of hard work: the worlds oldest octopus is not an octopus... Pohlsepia is actually a really rotten Nautiloid (but oldest soft tissue nautiloid ever found!). 🐙❌ royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

Sure it looks cool but once you install it over the waterfall, hoo boy there are some practical headaches let me tell you.

Come on then, and remove him.

Uh-oh another “Grampus” originalist…

One of my favorite moments of Artemis II thus far was during the solar eclipse just now when one of the astros said something like, “our brains did not evolve to process what we are seeing right now.” 🤯 Really hope we get some photos of what they saw. (The live feed just looked black.)

Enjoying this current exchange with the Artemis crew & mission control which boils down to, boy, if only there were a mode to push the English language towards evocation of the indescribable...

Those Artemis II astronauts are missing the opportunity of a lifetime if they aren’t up there blasting Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’!!!

This Artemis II eclipse is giving me Clementine 1994 vibes with Venus in the background.

I love boring fossils.
