- In my 'Environmental Geology' class today, we'll finish our coverage of glaciers, starting with erosional features (arêtes! spurs! horns! cirques! cols! roche moutonées!) & depositional features (till! moraines! drumlins! eskers!), lakes (tarns! finger! kettle!), then effects of climate change. 🧪🪨🧊🗻
- The near demise of Guinea worm disease in 2025 (only 10 cases worldwide) just a little more than a year after Jimmy Carter's passing seems like justice. He often said he planned to outlive this disease, & for all practical purposes, he did it. Thank you for all you did for others, Mr. President.
- in my 'Environmental Geology' class this a.m., we'll talk about glaciation and glaciers, including the effects of glaciations & glaciers of the pre-human past, & geological features of formerly glaciated landscapes. 🧪🪨⚒️🧊❄️🏔️
- I KNEW IT!! For years I've been telling my students "Never trust plants," & now @pbseons.bsky.social backs me up. Those photoautotroph baddies have been running roughshod with zero accountability since the Carboniferous. Watch, learn, & beware. 🧪🌿☠️

- A thoughtful & righteous thread by @morphometrich.bsky.social on the recent revelation that paleontologist Jack Horner corresponded with & socialized with Epstein in 2012 & 2016. 100% agreed that this association is reason alone to sever all ties with him & revoke his society memberships & honors.
- Very exciting discovery of Early Cretaceous (~130 mya) dinosaur tracks in South Africa, representing theropods & (possibly) ornithopods & sauropods. 🦖🦕🐾🪨
