#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit. Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil. 1🧵 #PlaymobilÖtzi #PlaymobilInfestation

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Growing up in an evangelical community and then moving on with your life feels like escaping from a cult. Some of y'all will understand, I'm sure. It hurts.

Analysis of habitat connectivity and aggregation suggested that more than half of global #forests have become more fragmented over the past two decades, painting a picture of widespread forest degradation beyond the direct effects of #habitat loss www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Costa Rica for the win (always). They're making an urban park from a decommissioned city zoo site which will connect to a larger wildlife corridor. Brilliant. ticotimes.net/2025/08/19/f...

Working from home with kids is wild. Like, why did I have to pause a paper review to tune a ukulele?

I am getting loads of replies and messages from people raising money. Palestinian friends: I see you, and I contribute as often as I can but there are just so, so many requests 💔

[COMMENTARY] A new op-ed explains how language shapes the way we view wildlife and their conservation, as even subtle word choices can drive perceptions of species or situations. ** The views expressed are those of the author, not necessarily of Mongabay.

Do the words we choose influence our relationships with other animals? 🧪 #academicsky news.mongabay.com/2025/08/its-...

I enjoy being a scientist, but I think I'd rather be a cat with an h-index of 12.

So, when you search for "lazy vegan high-protein snacks" why do you get "make cookies out of chickpeas!" or "weird snack balls from only 9 esoteric ingredients". I want LAZY. I want BAG OF NUTS level effort. Thank you.

If so many students never repay their loans, maybe the cost of free/low tuition HE isn't as out of reach as it sounds? Tuition fees are rising again and nobody is happy – it’s time to actually fix our broken university sector | Zoe Williams www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Great advice, which I think applies to a lot of academics. It can take a *lot* for a student to approach a scholar they've been reading for years, so be kind.

In light of the Epstein discourse, I want to remind everyone that the person most likely to sexually abuse a child is a man in that child’s family.

I'm writing this book pitch about urban wildlife & how to appreciate it. I'm suggesting that people explore their neighborhoods to identify animal hotspots & make a map. As an example, I made one for my neighborhood. It's a simple, real sketchy, not meant to be final, but I'm showing you anyway.

I should probably be more serious about summer class prep

Hidden prompts in articles to fool #AI reviewers! It'sbrilliant, it's resistance and it's self-defense! It shows the massively wealthy publishing companies that cutting corners is bad for #science! They could use their wealth to pay independent reviewers.... 🧪 www.theregister.com/AMP/2025/07/...

Look at this beautiful cake 😍 I didn't make it, but I am doing a VERY good job at eating it.

About the same for my nose ring lol I have a field backpack that's approaching 20 so is now the same age as my students, so that's fun

Anybody with settled status in the UK know how we're supposed to show the new "evisa" abroad? The UKVI site is like "it's linked to your passport and SO easy" but that was definitely not my experience leaving Costa Rica. I'd like to avoid the border control chaos on my next adventure.

I think our environment would really appreciate it if train travel wasn't like 3 times the cost of airfare. Come on now.

I mostly stick to fiction for fun reading, but I'm really enjoying this one
