Here's Prashant's 2024 first-author paper in Nature Microbiology 🎉🧪:

I'm also going to recommend the "Smarter Every Day" video that includes interviews with Prasant, explores some of these structures and how they function.
It's 30 minutes, but very watchable:

12,000 years ago in what is today northern Israel, someone made a tiny clay image of a woman. Mating with a goose. Today that figurine got its own prestigious scientific paper.
The lesson: make weird art. Express whatever is in you, however you want. In AD 14,000 they will thank you

Sent hubby a pic of my desk at work and he asked why I had a framed picture of a man. Babe, how much time you got because we're going to get into some LORE 😂
It's a semi-silly but uplifting way to remind myself of how far I've come. Mega props if you know the source. 🧪💅

“Altho several states had ZERO homicides in pregnant women during the study pd, other states had MORE THAN 100 deaths of preg women per 1 million live births….likely reflect[ing] differences in state-level firearm-related legislation + policies re: access to comprehensive reproductive health care”🧪🛟

For pregnant women—“every 1% increase in state-level firearm ownership was signf’ly associated w/a 6% increase in all-cause homicide & 8% increase in firearm homicide… results suggest…even incremental increases in firearm avail may contribute to measurable increases in homicide risk in preg women”🧪🛟

New paper reminds us yet again: HOMICIDE is the leading cause of death for pregnant women. Gun violence & partner violence are related. All-cause homicide & firearm homicide of pregnant women are higher, in states w/ higher calculated firearm ownership (1/x 🧵 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

🧪🏺 Shocking.
Hope that the archaeological /anthropologicsl community resists this kind of thing
Paul Byrne@theplanetaryguy.bsky.social
Abstracts submitted to LPSC 2026 are required to comply with White House (non-legally binding) executive orders forbidding mention of topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. At least USRA/LPI isn't hiding it. But is this what our community wants? Or deserves? I don't think so.

Wild wolf pulling crab traps out of water to eat bait inside [via Science.org] 🧪🥼🐺🧠⁉️
No, it does not indicate "tool use." But if they were to wait until a crab's caught within a human-made crab trap... 🤔

Have wild wolves learned to use tools?
Video captures a lone female pulling crab traps out of the water, but does it count as tool use?

Everyone asks if T. rex had feathers.
We do have skin impressions showing scales, but they’re tiny and found in sediments where feathers almost never fossilize.
Early relatives had hair-like feathers, and many dinosaurs had mixed scales and feathers.
So?

Did T. rex have feathers? This is a real skin impression from Tyrannosaurus rex. It shows scales, and when these patches were first published, many paleontologists took them as evidence that T. rex…

Well #SXPS288 is going ok so far. Some #python programming, data analysis, a bit of group work, and I’m working on TMA01.
I’m enjoying the photometry and producing the colour magnitude diagrams and then interpreting them.
I almost feel like an actual scientist… 😳
