I'm normally not a bug person, but this is absolutely fascinating and very cool. 🧪

Caddisfly larvae were collecting microplastics from otherwise pristine environments half a century ago - decades before the term "microplastics" was coined & before the impacts of these pollutants were fully recognized. Natural history collections for the win! 🧪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Reskeet with a favorite book from childhood. (This book is why I became a paleontologist!)

Sasha has decided I shouldn't be writing on a Saturday, so here she sits between me and my laptop, awaiting attention & well-deserved affection. (She's very wise.) #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

Paleontology is an international discipline, & even small fry workers like me have any number of friends & colleagues in other countries. Sadly I don't think any of my international colleagues should visit the US any time soon if they can avoid it. It's not safe. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
