Well, well. It feels a little weird to say, after having spending such a long time away from my personal account here, but I think it's time to spread my wings in search of bluer skies.

@LKonstan "Briar's Book" by Tamora Pierce is speculative fiction about mages who use the scientific method to combat an epidemic.

It was an absolute blast getting up to give a surprise talk at this Science Slam, even if I didn't expect to! Huge kudos to the hosts and judges who made it happen!🧬

[Science in Vancouver @ScienceVancity]

We celebrated leap day with @scislamCA and @beatymuseum by learning about evolution and back problems, de-extinction, human chimeras, and so much more! Make sure to catch the next slam on April 24th: https://t.co/p0hjRt8R1T

Not long ago, Sandy, my dear dog I've had since I was only 13, passed away. Sweet, shy, and playful, she stood by my side in good times and bad. Thank you, girl. You were truly a good dog 🐩

On Dec. 7, the girl started having seizures, and emergency responders measured her body temperature at 105.7 degrees. She was taken to a hospital, where she died.

The girl and her father had been detained by immigration authorities on Dec. 6.

Ceratopsian fossils have often been found in "dinosaur graveyards." What causes them to form? The animals likely died at the same time from crossing a river or a volcanic eruption. Paleontologists think some species of horned dinos lived in large herds, like modern elephants!

It took a while, but ‘The Death of Hong Kong’ has arrived - Never would I have imagined that one day Hong Kong would be expelling a foreign correspondent

"The world's people have spoken... time is running out."

Sir David Attenborough encourages world leaders at the UN Conference in Poland to "act now" against climate change.

Biodiversity is being lost at up to 1,000 times the natural rate.
This loss & the degrading of ecosystems increases the vulnerability of communities to #climatechange. #UNBiodiversityConference

Audio editing is one of those things I find oddly soothing. #garageband

I had an amazing time participating this year. For a beach that seemed so clean when we first arrived, it was amazing (horrifying?) to discover just how much trash there was!

#PrimatesintheNews Perhaps lifespan and personality ARE linked! Researchers have found that in male chimpanzees, evolution favors low aggression and high quality social bonds.

FYI: After WWI ended, 100 years ago today, a scattered epidemic of the Spanish Flu became a pandemic, as millions of soldiers shipped home, spreading the disease internationally, killing an additional 50-million people worldwide.

[Laura Beveridge @LauraEBeveridge]

I've been listening to @Sawbones, and it's such an amazing piece of modern #sciencecommunication. Informing people about current science theory and practice by exploring the mistakes we've made in the past, and keeping people alert about modern #pseudoscience. ⚕️
