The climate crisis/biodiversity loss are rooted not only on capitalism, but on the radical prometheanism that Europe spread through colonialism and conquest. We should promote ecosocialist development through integration with our biomes. Distancing ourselves from nature clearly didn't work

Having my first teaching experience as a postdoc here at the University of São Paulo 📚 I’m learning a lot from students and their feedback will help me grow professionally. Teaching vertebrate paleontology is a dream come true! #academiclife #paleontology

Hi everyone ! I'm Daniel Martins, a vertebrate paleontology PhD student at the University of Brasília, Brazil. I'm in love with fossil archosaurs in general, but pseudosuchians hold a special place in my heart ! #suchiansunday #paleoblue
