Your teeth are made out of calcium forged in dying stars, and 10% of your weight is made up of hydrogen atoms that came into existence shortly after the Big Bang. 🧪

I know, it feels like we are more disconnected than ever, both from nature and wildlife but also from each other, but no matter who you are, or what you believe, or who you love, or what side of some imaginary line you live on, you are bound up in this great swirling atomic potluck. 🧪
I would like to give a huge thank you to @radfordu.bsky.social for giving me the chance to spend some time on this idea, and also to Mike and Dinie for driving six hours roundtrip on a Tuesday afternoon to come see Jess and me. 🧪
I'll never forget the sound of the audience clapping after the talk was over and I snapped out of my presentation-giving-fugue-state and remembered to reveal that Mike and Dinie were actually there, sitting in the front row.
All it takes is a cheek swab. And somewhere down the line, you could be standing next to someone you'd never met before, someone full of your atoms. And then maybe you'll think of that thread written by the weird animal guy. 🧪

You are dinosaurs and mountains.
You are dust blown off of the Sahara Desert.
You are comets, lava, and clover. 🧪
What a truly special experience. 🧪
