Once upon a Time my dream was to be a natgeo wildlife photographer & science writer.
It took until adulthood for me to be able to get a camera. Might not be a pro but I definitely have fun

NASA Goddard's entire Early Scientist Spotlight series is down, including some really cool interviews with underrepresented people who've since had to leave the field due to the lack of jobs! That's extremely cowardly and whoever is doing this should not know peace.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

Oh this is a legit fascinating article!! Go read about magnetic field sensing and GPR being used to survey the enormous archaeological site at Ephesus in Turkey!!
It’s also true of news stories. One article I wrote on using magnetic field sensing and ground penetrating radar to discover a completely new religious complex in Turkey didn’t get too much traffic because of the too clever title. pubs.aip.org/physicstoday...

🚨The USFWS needs your help! 🚨When the father of the Copper Creek wolf pack was captured in Colorado in August, officials noticed he had a gunshot wound.

The gunshot wound and his resulting poor condition are what led to his death in early September while in captivity, according to USFWS.

The EU is “painting the wolf as a villain.”

“It sends a very bad signal about the EU’s commitment to nature conservation because we ask other regions to protect their biodiversity...but we ourselves cannot accept to live together with the wolves,” said Sabien Leemans of WWF Europe.
