@MBTA_CR you need dedicated bike cars on every train. Your bike prohibition during peak-times and limited numbers during other times is a defacto ban on all bikes. This is particularly important when portions of the @MBTA subway shuts down. I would love to bike “the last mile”.

@SteveWang251 @TuftsUniversity Haha! The gov. did mention a state muffin, among others. I just looked it up: a corn muffin. 🫤

@clasticdetritus Nice! I’m teaching sed-strat in the spring. Sadly, we don’t have good outcrops near campus and the administration strongly discourages and makes it difficult to schedule field trips outside of class time. 😞

Among those involved in helping the Podokesaurus Holyokensis become the state dinosaur of Massachusetts was Tufts paleontologist Noel Heim. https://t.co/nKTqqaDjs2

@museumofscience @MassGovernor @MassLtGov @RepJackLewis @KarynPolito @mcmaverick7 @AmherstCollege @mtholyoke @TuftsUniversity It was a great morning celebrating paleontology, science, and public engagement. Predictably, I’m the one who shows up in a flannel shirt and puffy vest. 🦖🦕🦣

Make sure you don't miss the breaking news on our #MAStateDino bill, on this #NationalFossilDay of all days! 🦕🎆🎇🦖

[MAStateDino @MAStateDino]

On this #NationalFossilDay, we have some breaking news on our #MAStateDino project! Because of your steadfast advocacy, the bill to name the Podokesaurus holyokensis our state dino will come before the MA House of Reps for engrossment (a fancy way of saying a vote) tomorrow!

Days after functionally banning abortion, Texas is asking #SCOTUS to strike down a 40 year old law that protects Native families in child welfare & adoption systems.

So after Native ppl can’t access abortion in TX, it would be easier for the state to take their children.

@Wikipedia has joined the Podokesaurus #MAStateDino phenomenon by featuring it as today's featured article!

Special thank you to @MindyForMA @Jo_Comerford @Rep_Carey @museumofscience @mcmaverick7 @BeneskiMuseum @PRInstitution @sedpaleo and everyone who has supported our efforts

A detailed morphological study of exceptionally preserved trilobite limbs that convincingly demonstrates that the feather-like structures on the exopods are indeed gills! https://t.co/R9EiF8k0Kd

A maskless Marjorie Taylor Greene & her staff berated me in a hallway. She targeted me & others on social media.

I'm moving my office away from hers for my team's safety.

I've called for the expulsion of members who incited the insurrection from Day 1. Bring H.Res 25 to a vote.

@Davey_F_Wright And people who work on entoprocts are entoproctologists.

I won the 2002 “pervertebrate” award at the @MarineBiol_FHL Invertebrate Ball for dressing up as an entoproct. I’m not sure what that makes me. 😳
