Met this Bear while protesting to save the wildlands of Chaney Trail last autumn. The trail was incinerated last month. But its chaparral will grow again. And the Bear, like its native wildland, is standing strong. Thank you, dear friend Bear. #DenaStrong
It's been wonderful - & heartbreaking - to meet so many lovely Altadena and N. Pasadena folks who've been affected by the Eaton fire. Thank you for sharing with a bear...
Also, thanks to folks who were out to help - LA Co. Public Health, Red Cross, Army Corps of Eng., CA Nat'l Guard, and more.

It would be great if the top two stories about the executive branch were not a huge multinational child rape coverup and the establishment of a gulag of concentration camps

There are a growing number of reports of agents impersonating construction workers, delivery drivers & anti-ICE activists, heightening fears in the state.
That's deceptive & unconstitutional, because they use trickery to get around warrant & consent protections.

The aurora last night here in Beaver, Alaska was extremely bright and active. Here is a video showing the real-time motion and the brightness of the aurora reflecting off the snow and turning it a bright green color.

I got buzzed by a Pileated Woodpecker as I was refiling the suet in the bird feeder. We've seen it a few times this winter, but they are rare to see. It's huge! Probably 12 inches long.
We get Downy and Red Bellied woodpeckers every day.
This was special to see.

Check out this gnarly tunicate that got caught in our multicore! Captain was on deck when it came up and exclaimed it was a “creature never meant to be seen by man”. Collected from about 300m depth and appears to have been rooted in the surface sediment. #seamonster #oceanography 🌊🇦🇶

Really SVP? You’re just going to ignore decades of sexual and academic misconduct, marrying a student AT one of your conferences, and every report I’ve filed (implying that’s what you do with reports) to defend famous Horner? You’d rather have pedophiles than students is your message?

Dinosaur paleontology is rife with sex pests and bullies. Men who have the academy on their side and count on the benefit of the doubt, usually keeping their jobs and prestige even when their abuses come to light.
I hope we get some daylight because I’m not kidding, the science needs a reckoning.
