A project idea I thought of seven years ago is finally coming to fruition. It's been great working on this with @shane98c and @lisatoafault , and I'm feeling really excited that this is live. If you do check it out, we're curious for feedback too.

Once upon a time, jaguars roamed California and elephants lived near Beijing. Check out these stories and more at “Where the Wild Things Were”: an atlas of charismatic animal losses from the Ice Age through today. #STEMLearning #paleontology #conservation https://t.co/amQGDPomJG

Deep breaths, and repeat after me: "It was just a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode (https://t.co/BRKyII2RMX). It's not real. It can't happen..."

Scientists have discovered that once mammals, such as dolphins or orcas, have become fully aquatic, they pass a threshold that makes a return to terrestrial landscapes almost impossible https://t.co/VL0A0w7w4F

@nolongerextinct @AshPoust Also, permafrost wooly mammoths have been found with "pouches" on their trunks that they may have used as "mittens": https://t.co/LUmchpNb27

Do you ever learn about the connection between two seemingly-distant scientific ideas, and you know the connection is already known to Science, but you still get eureka-giddy about it?

My bike was stolen, and then I found it.

Thank you @Austin_Police and everyone else who helped make this very improbable happy ending happen. Brring brring.

@shane98c @Strava Biking those fog pools @SunfishLakePark was so awesome.

Mysteriously placed wooden stakes were found off the coast of Canada.

Researchers discovered the stakes to be one of the most extensive and sophisticated Indigenous fishing operations ever found. https://t.co/OAFID08SPt
