There is one expensive and completely fake degree program on every campus and we all know what it is.

Not to be all woke but I feel like the tech CEOs going around saying how they're going make everyone unemployed, is a subpar PR strategy

In one month, On the Edge of the Pacific: Exhibition Celebrating Coastal California opens at the Grove Museum of Natural History. September 16, 2026 – January 3, 2027 On the Edge of the Pacific is a solo exhibition celebrating life along coastal California and the Baja Peninsula. #SciArt
What is academic bullying, and how do you know when criticism has crossed the line into harassment? In the newest Evolution Exchange, I talk with Dr. Morteza Mahmoudi (Academic Parity Movement) and Dr. Aaron Roussell about bullying, mobbing, and doxxing. A long but 🌶️ convo! tinyurl.com/87nyfbzk

How about this: diacritical marks are bullshit. If you can't commit to a whole new letter, I have no respect for your sound
please keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times
Seal rock off of Lighthouse Point in Santa Cruz, CA - a bit of a misnomer since CA sea lions are the ones that haul out on it. 🐬🦑
This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.
A few weeks later, and the smile continues to grow #FossilFriday
Matt Friedman@friedmanlab.bsky.social · 2w agoSmile! It's #FossilFriday.
Taking my son and a friend fossil hunting tomorrow. It will be nice to get out and dig again. Maybe I'll find another cluster like this. Basidechenella arkonensis in the middle surrounded by 3 Eldredgeops from the Devonian Hungry Hollow member. #FossilFriday
Poi sono totalmente esterrefatto per lo stato un po' fatiscente e per l'assenza di teche o transenne o controlli. Un vero tesoretto tutto da valorizzare, eppure... #fossilfriday #paleo #dinosaurs #nature #reptiles #bird
Finding an hour a day this week to prep this Trilophosaurus vertebra has kept my sanity intact. #triassicpark #fossilfriday 🦖🧪
中野ブロードウェイの近くにあるKT中野ビル。ここは天文ファンには有名な所らしい。1階はポルトガル産石材のリオシュ🇵🇹に覆われていました。厚歯二枚貝の化石がいっぱい。 #街の中で見つかるすごい石 #UrbanGeology #金曜日だから化石貼る #FossilFriday
Partial jawbone of a currently unnamed antelope species from South Africa dating to just under 1 million years ago #FossilFriday
#FossilFriday The mosasaur Platecarpus, on display at the Naturmuseum Senckenberg, Frankfurt, Germany.
#FossilFriday 3.6-billion-year-old gneiss bedrock at Granite Falls Minnesota, created a landscape ideal for collecting sediment layers and preserving bones. Yellow Medicine County Historical Society holds a collection of bison remains from the area, some from a famous bison kill: the Peterson Site.
#FossilFriday new housing for the recently described partial skeleton of Leptarctus wortmani @ucmpberkeley.bsky.social, made by A. Tseng as a summer fun project. Read about the first known skeleton of this unusual lineage of mustelid carnivorans here: doi.org/10.3897/sjp....
#FossilFriday. Here's a great example of a Paleocene nautiloid, with the phragmocone and part of the body chamber preserved. Who can guess where it is from, what species it is, and during which part of the Paleocene it lived?
#fossilfriday The hefty jaw of the "killer" walrus Pelagiarctos, a sea lion-like pinniped from the early Miocene Topanga Formation of southern California. Our analysis suggested it was primarily adapted to eating fish. 🐬🦖🧪
For #fossilfriday, here's an old friend; the giant stem tetrapod Gaiasia jennyae from the Permian of Namibia.
Earthquake prediction doesn't work and earthquakes are a solved problem that largely involves trading money for lives. Given an earthquake with the same features, the one occurring in Japan, the US, or Russia will cost more and kill fewer people than the one in Burma/Myanmar, Venezuela, or Haiti.
Riley Bruce@rileybruce.bsky.social · 4d agoWhat’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?
Platybelodon jaw from Mongolia! Since the Field never had a paleontology expedition there, I imagine this was a trade with AMNH or part of the Waller Museum collection.
#throwbackthursday Three years ago this week we excavated a braincase of a dwarf baleen whale (Herpetocetus) from Pliocene (~3myo) rocks of the Purisima Formation and hauled it down a mile of beach in a laundry basket rigged into a fossil dogsled. @tetrameryx.bsky.social @ashpoust.bsky.social 🦖🐬🧪

These mammal ancestors birthed live young far earlier than thought
Growth rings on a fossil bone suggest at least one mammal ancestor gave birth to live young rather than laying eggs 236 million years ago.
