Another thing I am currently trying to teach students: AI might accurately summarize the article, but it won't tell you if the article is any *good*. Are the arguments actually supported by the evidence presented? Is the author writing in bad faith? Do *you* agree with it? Read the damn paper.

New study led by @mariemrouyer.bsky.social maps Atlantic regions of exceptional concentrations of migratory marine seabirds. They are poorly covered by Marine Protected Areas, particularly in the High Seas, but we can do much better by meeting the #30by30 target to protect 30% of the oceans by 2030.

Map showing locations where high-quality mtDNA samples have been recovered from mammoths. The dot size corresponds to the approximate number of samples recovered. Columbian mammoths recently discovered in Mexico are the first from a tropical area to yield mtDNA; the Basin of Mexico location is the largest dot on the map and the furthest south. Columbian mammoths in North America descend from a 1-million-year-old steppe mammoth discovered in Krestovka, Russia, with additional ancestry from woolly mammoths.
