La European Association of Archaeologists ha enviado un email a todos los organizadores de sesiones en el próximo congreso amenazando con censurarlas si permiten que se critique el genocidio en Gaza. Es un ataque intolerable a la libertad de expresión. Boicot a @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social

The latest census of Iberian Lynx has shown continued growth in the population & the areas in which they can be found. A positive #conservation story.

🧵 Is this a Dire wolf... 🤔?

No...

Our @erc.europa.eu Beasts to Craft team led by Élodie Lévêque uncovered the true identity of mysterious hairy covers on #medieval #Cistercian #manuscripts - they're ...

This news is fake: Dire wolfs have not returned. Rather, a tiny number of genes of grey wolves were edited using CRISPR to create some few resemblances to dire wolf genes (fur color, musculature). For more info:

Cover of TIME magazine, featuring an image of a gene-edited grey wolf and falsely labeling it a dire wolf.

JUST OUT! 🚨 Time capsule birds' nests! 🪹

I'm proud to share our discovery of layers of vintage plastic in urban birds’ nests... going back decades in time! 👀

“You flip through these nests like through pages of a history book, uncovering the past.” 📚

Let's dive in! 🧵👇 1/x

Women are credited less in science than men - Nature
The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.
