I need help. I've been releasing science content daily and it's getting a ton of attention, but with that comes a lot of the social attacks. I do need some fellow supporters/scientists that I can flag sometimes to get in these comments and help me cultivate a positive space and shun the negativity 🧪

Today is my last day at Scientific American, which has been sold to LabX media group. For three decades I've led the magazine's coverage of human origins, archaeology, paleontology, animal behavior, ecology, BIRDS. End of an era. Anyway this feels weird to say, but I'm now available for assignments!

Result from @opiniumresearch.bsky.social's survey of local voters: 🌹 Burnham (Labour): 46% ➡️ Kenyon (Reform UK): 41% The rest: trailing well behind. 5pt gap. Margin of error: ~5pts. It's tight.

Nature is not a blocker to growth. The UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has claimed that 'The balance has gone too far in the direction of always protecting every bat and every newt.' But how can this statement be true when the UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world?🌍

A thriving natural world is the foundation of economic growth and vital for health and wellbeing. Language that pits these against each other is unhelpful and deeply concerning.

I believe that the more we understand nature, the more we can appreciate its beauty. I want to help decode the patterns of nature. Why are habitats found where they are? What makes certain species thrive? What do these ecosystems tell us about the past? Hope you enjoy. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

How does each habitat function? Why does it occur where it does? How does this understanding affect conservation?
