I've kicked off an ambitious 12-part series exploring one of Earth's most fascinating features - the Dead Sea. Its about salt, sediments and a huge challenge to young earth creationists. Part I: A Geo-Biblical Exploration youtu.be/nwhNHej0Azk?... via @YouTube

University photographer caught myself and a colleague taking selfies with Zippy at the annual service awards ceremony. I was 25 days short of 25 years so I have to wait until next year to get my tote bag or whatever it will be then (probably a small mug by then).

A poem about dinosaur poop? Yep. And this one challenges 19th century creationists (diluvialists) to explain fossilized dino do do just as I have presented a similar challenge based a Nature paper this week on the size and contents of fossilized dinosaur droppings. youtu.be/m6NcjqD8lU8?...

I summarize the results of a really cool paper just published about what we can learn about dinosaur diversification from studying dino droppings and vomit. Then I take a twist on it and show how this data should cause many creationists to lose sleep. youtu.be/8k5LUAXBjn4?... #dinosaurs #coprolites

#PPOD: This picture may look like a lonely mountain, but this landscape is out of our world—it's one of the closest color images ever taken of the surface of a comet. On March 10, 2015, the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft used the OSIRIS camera to take this close-up... 🧪 🔭

My evening listen. I have issues with Eric Schmidt but his thoughts on AI are worth listening to. Jonathan Haidt get's some good mentions. youtu.be/AjgwIRPnb_M?...

Around noon light strikes three walls on the building across from my lab that gives the appearance of three colors when all three walls are made of the same brick.

A week ago I taught a Sunday School class presenting a big picture overview of faith and science. I then recorded a podcast with my pastor to discuss that class and other topics including my history, AI, and how to talk to students about science and faith topics. www.buzzsprout.com/2398861/epis...

Glad to be here and see so many of my friends making the transition. Thoughts on creationism, science communication, science news, and odd and ends forthcoming...
