Your typical unemployed software engineer, classically trained musician, avid reading, graphic designing, sword-wielder for Twitch Ambassador scicommers who I’m very proud of.
@sciantsmedia.com and @paleontologizing.bsky.social talked about them on Monday! Impromptu crossover. Only done a reel on why this is just sensationalized news!

I find that Nature’s “editorial response” is paywalled rich. There’s been a problem in academic journals for a long time. Is Open Access the answer? Hard to say it is when you still need a paper in one of the big journals to get professorship or to become an IC.
