This is what you’re supporting when you support Skype a scientist. This, 4000 times every year.
The other day I had the fantastic opportunity to talk with 7th graders about genomes, brains and evolution 🧬🧠 🦑 thanks to @skypeascientist.bsky.social.
As is usually the case, I was amazed by the kids questions.
They even sent me these beautiful artworks :’)

Need longer Murderbot episodes.
Maybe hire some of those British tv show writers that write those 90 minutes episodes to bulk them up a bit.
22 minutes episode, I barely get settled and it’s over.

Hi #KidLitArtPostcard!
Once upon a time in Korea, there was a tiny sickly stray puppy. A scary tiger spotted the puppy & thought she’ll make an easy snack. But the unexpectedly feisty puppy kept running in & out of rabbit holes in the ground, making fun of the tiger. (1/?)

Thought I might share a life story from a few months ago to brighten your day. Back in March, I spotted a raccoon on the side of the interstate that had very clearly been run over. I pulled over thinking I’d have to put it out of its misery. We ended up becoming good friends.

Since when do they roll up together like that?

As a former child junior olympic-level runner, I have a few thoughts on the attacks on trans girls in sports. I ran for one of the most competitive teams in Southern California, and people who ran for my have gone on to become professional athletes. And these bans: they're fucking NONSENSE. 🧵

Don't stop banging the drum: Anyone who considers it good policy to look at children's genitals before they can play sports is someone who just likes to look at children's genitals, and cannot be trusted in any position of power.
1. Yesterday, Minnesota State Senator Justin Eichorn was arrested on charges of soliciting a minor.
He's previously cosponsored a bill that would require genital checks for sports in order to ban trans people from sports.

Minnesota Anti-Trans State Senator Arrested For Soliciting A Minor
Anti-trans elected officials appear to be far more likely to be a danger to minors than drag queens or transgender people.

I hear @kentremendous.bsky.social is on here. And I'd love to let the Parks team know the name comes from them
