This time last year, I was on the South Lawn of the White House helping to lay out the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
This year the White House did nothing and the State Department instructed empoyees and grant recipients to “refrain from publicly promoting World Aids Day through any communication channels”

This morning I had the honor of helping lay out some panels of the #AIDS Memorial Quilt on the South Lawn of the White House. Seeing all these individual lives that were lost and knowing they are just a miniscule part of that great tapestry of loss is haunting.

All ten species of manta and devil rays are now protected under CITES Appendix I, the highest level of international protection. This historic vote bans all international commercial trade, including gill plates and meat, giving these marine giants a fighting chance.

The Tomb of Amyntas dating to around 350 BC in Fethiye, modern-day Turkey. The tomb is often referred to as the "Amyntas Tomb" and is carved into a cliff face in the mountains overlooking the city.

On May 11, 1950, while working on the Rawlins National Bank in Wyoming, a construction crew unearthed a whiskey barrel that contained a human skeleton with its skull cap sawed off & an odd pair of shoes. Dr. Lillian Heath, now in her 80s, was asked if she knew anything about it...🧵

Under RFK Jr, the USDA stopped tracking US hunger just as the Republican shutdown ripped away SNAP for 42M Americans — a data blackout that covers up the cost of MAGA's starvation campaign. MAGA, MAHA — they are all complicit in hurting Americans. #impeachthequack

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.
Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:
“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”
“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

I haven't posted much in a while because, probably unsurprisingly, my PhD has kept me busy! But I was just using this drawing of Wielandiella angustifolia from last year, and I realised that I've never shared a close-up showing all the details of the leaves! So anyway, enjoy! #paleobotany #paleoart

Trump's Anti-Trans Report Authors Revealed: Hate Groups and Billionaire-Funded Anti-Trans Activists
