No kidding. I put a fuzzy pillow case on a rock and couldn’t sleep. Just wasn’t the same #sciencematters
To huge media fanfare, Colossal Biosciences announced that it resurrected the dire wolf, brushing off criticisms from researchers. Now, Colossal's chief scientist has conceded that they are just modified grey wolves after all.

Always good to get a true expert’s insights! Any geoarch student should check his channel out. We’ll be at White Sands comparing ancient footprints to those from Utah. #RealArchaeology #Geoarchaology #Ichnology
New Fieldnotes blog at trailoption.com; wandering on Pilot Peak in central Nevada, #130. Small section of Quaternary landforms to map, but a great evening just the same. Check it out.
Off to Tularosa Basin in New Mexico this week. Supporting our National Parks and their natural science. Keep going.

In the poorly preserving Great Basin, will age control on footprints ultimately tell us more about the extinction of regional megafauna than bones? How long did people live alongside them? Things that make you go hmmmm… 🤔🐪🦣🕕 #paleontology #archaeology
Spent Saturday morning with @darond.bsky.social gouging around Sandy Valley along the border of southern Nevada and southeastern California. Here are preserved some exception examples of fossil trackways, or ichnofacies, created by camels of the Late Pleistocene to Early Holocene. #geoarchaeology

Hello all. Just moving from X and hoping we can reclaim that science Twitter thing that was so fun for a while. Let's find each other! #archaeology #science
