My latest for @nytimes.com! For 40 years, paleontologists have grappled over whether a small tyrannosaur — named Nanotyrannus — was its own animal, or simply a teenage T.rex. The debate has been ... contentious. Which is why it's so fun to finally be able to say this: Folks? Nanotyrannus is real.

An Opah to celebrate 10 years of #SundayFishSketch

Happy to have been interviewed for part of @lisasgardiner.bsky.social's @sciencenews.bsky.social article about my favorite bioeroding & carbonate-sand-pooping fishes, parrotfishes; also includes keen insights from Drs. Katie Cramer & Ana Molina Hernández. www.snexplores.org/article/parr... 🧪🐠🪸🏖️

Repeat after me: these budget cuts are theft. Our elected officials are stealing from us. They work for us, and they are breaking what we hired them to protect.

I hate everything I hope Colossal Biosciences is happy that their little marketing stint is going to lead to more extinctions www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

This post by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum demonstrates clear defiance of the Endangered Species Act. He states that regulation is not the solution. Innovation is needed- in concert with regulation- to find new paths to recovery while protecting what still exists. #Resist

Excited to finally be starting my season as a Seabird Research Assistant on the Farallones. #pointblueconservationscience #farallonislands #seabirdresearch #conservationbiology

“No vineagar for me, I just use snot!” Comical and informative sketch of a Man-o-War fish (Nomeus gronovii). Living amongst and even feeding on the tentacles of its namesake Siphonophore, this Driftfish (Nomeidae) uses a dense layer of mucus to counteractpotential stings. #fishart #sciart

My support and deepest sorrow to all in DOI and beyond who have had their careers unlawfully ripped away from them. This disgusting flaunting and abuse of power is a direct threat to our nation, it's people, and the wild country we have left. #nationalparks #federallayoffs #doge #usfws

I think that considering current situation with science in the US and upcoming elections in Germany, we should do one thing we almost never do - open discussion on how politics impacts science both within scientific community (e.g. in universities, research institutions, etc) & with general public.
