I didn’t come here to be a buttoned-down and respectable science writer.

This is the kind of science writer we need now more than ever; want to make science great again? Want to make it fun? Want to make it accessible to everyone, not just those from "higher" ed, but like everyone? Make it enthusiastic, fight the fascist narrative that we are the enemy of the people 🧪

Scientists just found several fossil bumblebees covered in pollen that directly matches fossil flowers nearby.

The 24-million-year-old discovery reveals the oldest known evidence connecting pollinators to the pollinated.

These ancient bumblebees were found with their pollen source

Insects have long pollinated plants, but evidence of ancient pairing is rare. Fossils now show bees and linden trees goes back 24 million years.

There is a penultimate stage of every project that I like to call, “ugh fuck it just give it all to me and let me get it done.” It’s deeply dysfunctional and also basically SOP at this point.

"Jens, you can't seriously call for someone to be fired because they've used AI?"

Quite the opposite, I can do that all day every day, and I will continue doing so even when I'm the only one left on the planet who doesn't use this infernal bullshit-parrot-sycophant-disinformation app
