Just 8 million years before the end-Permian "great dying" mass extinction there was another mass extinction - the End-Guadalupian Mass Extinction, aka Mid-Permian Mass Extinction, ALSO triggered by a Large Igneous Province (LIP) ⚒️🧪👇

Remember how ivermectin was hailed as a miracle drug during the pandemic? It spread from fake research, which is becoming harder to spot and growing in quantity. I suspect low academic freedom paired with high output demands leads to more paper mills; it’s a survival strategy. Conform or get eaten.

What has math got to do with dinosaurs? 🦕 Here's an intro to my #simulation work on plausible ecosystems of the Permian-Triassic where I created probabilistic networks of ancient feeding behaviors based on a collection of fossil specimens. #paleontology #paleo #complexity #scicomm
