Our beloved teacher in palynology, Michèle Dupré, has left us — a luminous being of knowledge and kindness. May she rest in peace and live on in all of us who learned from her how to walk lightly, rise gently, and fall without a sound.

A last paper. To our knowledge, the Biennale has never shown paleoart before. With Gabriela Amorós, Ana B. Marín-Arroyo & Federica Crivellaro, we bring a scientifically informed work that explores the ecological, artistic & social scope of the Venetian panel.

WHY BOTHER VOTING IN SPAIN? Just ask the Supreme Court, bishops, IBEX bosses, and Franco’s leftovers who should rule, who gets crushed, and who pays in silence. Keep people ignorant, the hierarchy sacred, and the cash flowing up. It’s tradition.

Just finished the Spanish edition of a book I’d already read in English. Flawless translation. Solid, well-told science—no drama, no nonsense. One of the great minds behind it. Congrats, Tom. (Photo: my old grape knife, harvest-trained in 1970).

A 2014 photo at the Biology faculty cafeteria (Murcia), with Encarni Montoya. She started in palynology under my distracted watch… and has long since surpassed me. Brilliant work, always humble, honest, and generous. So proud. Grande, my Encarni.

Ariadna, one of my two artists, gave me this drawing: it brings back my childhood and the bond with Estrellica, a stray dog a friend and I once rescued. It was a tense night—we truly put ourselves at risk, as the city was rounding up dogs to be killed. That night, over 100 were saved.

Late Paleolithic whale bone tools reveal human and whale ecology in the Bay of Biscay - Nature Communications
Here the authors apply ZooMS, radiocarbon, and stable isotope analyses to whale bones from the Bay of Biscay. They find that humans were utilizing the remains of at least five species of whales from 20,000 years ago, and that those whale communities may have resembled today’s arctic waters.
