Hello internets, there's a paleontological museum in danger of being closed. Please help.
Well it seems it is going to be to late for @lastweektonight.com to help with their hiatus. Any suggestions for a big sci com/science interested news account I should play with to help save PRI?
Tag them in the comments with your pitch for why they should help out this museum maybe

The only thing that has changed is that bombs aren’t constantly dropping. That’s it. People are still hungry and thirsty and sick and cold and living in tents or sleeping on the ground.
