Don’t believe headlines saying that vaccine skepticism is widespread Despite some headlines, a new poll does not show that most Americans no longer trust vaccines.

Such an important piece from @drhigginsmd.bsky.social. I had similar conclusions when I looked at the Politico poll in question, but Dr. Higgins expressed it more eloquently than I ever could.

Vaccine hesitancy is not mainstream and we should not present it as such.

A long low skull with recurved blade-like teeth belonging to Velociraptor, accompanied by a reconstruction of this bird like dinosaur showing a covering of feathers on its body

Velociraptor mongoliensis skull DINosAuR

Museum scientists discovered the first known
Velociraptor fossil in the Gobi in 1923. These relatively small, carnivorous dinosaurs used their wickedly sharp claws and teeth to capture prey such as mammals, lizards and young dinosaurs.

A cast specimen of a baby Protoceratops
Protoceratops andrewsi DINOSAUR
Lived 80 million years ago | Collected at Ukhaa Tolgod, 1997
Protoceratops were sheep-sized, plant-eating dinosaurs.
This fossil is a baby-it does not yet have any fancy frills or horns on its skull. Those grew in as Protoceratops entered adulthood, when they may have been used for protection, to attract a mate or in fights for dominance.

Hey ⚒️ geo folks:
Can anyone recommend a geobiologist who might be interested in discussing foundational/methodological issues in co-evolution of life & environment, from #paleobio to #geobio with historians & philosophers of science at MBL this summer?
