Loved this book. Gives one a sense that human progress in understanding the living world is so embedded in culture. Perhaps we’re on the eve of a Buffonian Renaissance.

Sure. Can we chat on a different app, or is there a chat feature on this?

Do you actually work in that amazing building?

The "Oxyrhynchus fish" (Mormyrus god fish) itself is worth a visit to the Motor City. Would love to know how many of these there are in U.S. museums.

Low engagement is not the issue. A journalist baselessly called a pedophile and multiple death threats proffered. No consequences. Not off to a promising start.

It probably hasn't been. I'm mostly here for the fish. But when I read the story above my blood boils. Yours doesn't?

I wanted to like you Bluesky, I really did. You're a young platform still finding its legs. But if this is designed to be a "safe space" for people with views far left of center with no viewpoint diversity and you can't shut down murder threats against journalists my time here will be short.
