Ooh thank you for the correction! No matter how they’re classified they’re one of my favorites :)

The goalposts are moved a bit for this one but ✨technically✨ the clouded leopard is considered the only living saber-tooth!

“Someone’s calling me” -> boring, mundane, probably spam anyway

“I’m being hailed” -> cool, mysterious, sounds like you’re on Star Trek

🦟 Did you know the CDC was originally created in 1946 to help eradicate malaria in the U.S.?
A quick 🧵 on how they accomplished this mission & eliminated malaria by 1951

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025!

Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide!

A few more success stories and how they came to be because why not! Happy #ReverseTheRedDay, everyone!

I am Reversing the Red by researching ecology and extinction risk across Mammalia and determining what understudied species or groups are most at risk. What are you or your organization doing to #ReverseTheRed?

Reverse the Red Species Pledge — Reverse the Red

If your organization is interested in taking a Species Pledge (recognizing current commitments or making thoughtful new commitments to species recovery), you can click here ➡️ www.reversethered.org/reverse-the-...

Reverse the Red - Revertir el Rojo - Inverser le Rouge Reverse the Red is a global movement that ignites strategic action and optimism to ensure the survival of wild species and ecosystems with which we share our planet.

Everyone has a role to play in saving species! Whether you’re part of a government agency, NGO, zoo, aquarium, museum, botanic garden, or just an individual, you can get involved! iucn.org/our-union/co...

Reverse the Red - Revertir el Rojo - Inverser le Rouge Reverse the Red is a global movement that ignites strategic action and optimism to ensure the survival of wild species and ecosystems with which we share our planet.

RtR (reversethered.org) is committed to three essential steps for conservation: assessment, planning, and action within a data-driven, collaborative context. It provides tools and partnerships to unite us in our common goal to save species.

When we pool our knowledge and work together, we can save species! #Conservation efforts WORK. Here are just a few examples of species declines that have recently been reversed through data-driven, collaborative work!

There’s a gorgeous Mithraic temple underneath the Basilica di San Clemente in Rome too! It predates both the basilica and the original church underneath, and the temple altar and classrooms are still in great condition.

Ah yes, Google Scholar, just what I wanted

So, you want to be a palaeontologist and study prehistoric life, but don't know where to start?

Maybe you worry you're not good enough? That you can't do field work? Or you can't afford it?

Let me take you through different options for making it in the field 👇(🧵)

This!! Many museums also look for fossil prep volunteers, which is a great way to learn technical skills and get to know curators and other paleo folks and build/join a community

This is gorgeous! Diabloceratops or (yay non-dino reptile representation!) Longisquama would be super cool

Our latest paper is out today: Oldest Gorgonopsian synapsid suggest therapsids may have originated in equatorial regions. Out in @NatureComms with several colleagues:

Hi everyone! Quick intro - I’m an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist broadly interested in functional morphology, extinction, and convergent evolution, especially in digging mammals. When I’m not studying or prepping bones, I’m usually writing, painting, crocheting, or playing the ocarina!
