Dire wolves are back!…ooor maybe they’re not. But the story is a sign of everything that’s wrong with science news. What Colossal biosciences has done is an absolutely breathtaking piece of modern genetic science, But somehow that’s not exciting enough on its own. Full story in my Substack (🔗inbio)

Nice! The craziest story you’ll hear all day, about how a roman shipwreck may be key to solving a cosmological conundrum, written by me, is a #webby honoree!
I’m proud to work with @hankgreen.bsky.social and the SciShow team every day, but this one feels extra special. ✨

Broken symmetry.

The leaning tower of Pisa took 100 years to build, and the lean became apparent after just the first few floors. The tower is subtly crooked as the engineers tried (and failed) to straighten it.

Today we crunched leaves in the cool autumn air. Feeling blessed to enjoy days like these

In what I have now decided is an annual tradition for nanny’s birthday, both the boy and I have created an Art. Heres last year’s and this year’s for comparison.
