It’s fun to talk science and cyber infrastructure sometimes. Sometimes it’s fun to make puns, and sometimes you just want to be cool like everyone else on here.

It's a small thing, but thanks to all the African researchers who have been contributing records to the African Pollen Database, the plot of African data in Neotoma now actually looks like Africa. Thanks to everyone who has contributed! #paleoecology #pollen #APD
