Scientists & engineers launched “InSight” from Earth (a moving platform) across 300million miles to arrive where Mars (a moving target) will be seven months later, landing safely to do geophysics at the Martian equator. And you have a problem listening to us about climate change?
Imagine how much more advanced society would be today if women, who comprise half the world’s brain power, were socially & intellectually enfranchised from the beginning of civilization.
I love #cats and I love #reptiles but they just don't mix. Keep your kitties safe at home! Even if you live in an urban area, you've probably got #lizards in your vicinity - my study species lives in urban backyards as well as National Parks.

If left alone, would they turn into viable artificial reefs? Or be disruptive to food web dynamics and natural communities?
I'm glad these magnificent animals have an equally magnificent champion for their conservation. Well done @Aquila84WA! 'Mass slaughter of wedge-tailed eagles could have Australia-wide consequences' https://t.co/ouUfml8BRr via @ConversationEDU
I'm a Heath mouse, upgraded recently to endangered federally, the Grampians is one of my strongholds as far as our species goes. I hope humans will start to actively start to fight climate change so I have a more certain future.
I also think I should be named the cute faced mouse
Excitement in the @BlueCarbonLab as @PaulECarnell and Anne Gulliver extrude #blucarbon cores from a salt marsh rehabilitation site. Looks like the #wetland rehab is working! 😃
