Creating ScienceBites has also caused our sites to come together to discuss how we can be part of fighting against racism that is rife in science and academia. Our first step, but not our last, is to clearly state our values regarding anti-racism: https://t.co/WfwYmrhpA3

Today, we are thrilled to announce that @science_bites is officially born! We are a network of #scicomm blogs. As we share the same concept, we've decided to officially come together under the #ScienceBites banner. Check us out now! https://t.co/64s0DYyQDd

It's called Charles Darwin National Park but I have checked several bushes and I have not found a single Charles Darwin. Guys I'm worried he's not here. Does anyone know what kind of habitat I should be looking for?

The best #scicomm doesn’t always include jargon. Check out the graphic below for a cool example!

Congrats to our talented contributor!

A newly discovered species of scansoriopterygid dinosaur with bat-like wings is described in Nature. This specimen provides further evidence that dinosaurs closely related to birds experimented with different wing structures near the origins of flight. https://t.co/hQTV6amDuF

Bee mothers tirelessly provide food and shelter for their offspring just Iike mothers across the animal kingdom. We are grateful for these bee mothers and all the other mothers in our lives. Happy Mother’s Day!

[Evo Bites @EvoBites]

Have a great Mother’s Day Weekend! If you have some down time, check out our new post :)

Studies have shown that 2 mason bees (specifically this bee, Osmia lignaria) can do as much pollination work as 100 honey bees in some orchards.

My blog posts often get retweeted, but with no link clicks or visits to my website.

Maybe we should try actually reading the stuff we share, just in case we end up spreading misinformation by accident? Just a suggestion. My posts are ok, but a lot of stuff here isn't.

[Wayne Iwan Lee Davies @WayneILDavies]

Our paper published in Science is finally out (with the cover too!): https://t.co/xboQ9J5k9k

How did the human pelvis get it’s shape? Stay tuned to find out!

[The Bees In Your Backyard @BeesBackyard]

The force is strong with this one.
Happy May the 4th.

Cranky confession: whenever I see a new paper with several authors, I count how many women are listed. For vert paleo & evolutionary biology, the # is often 0. There are many stellar women in the field. Boys, please take a hard look at your collaborative networks & open them up.
