Two hands hold shark teeth for comparison—on the left, a massive fossilized megalodon tooth, dark and ridged; on the right, a much smaller modern great white shark tooth. A cartoon shark illustration is superimposed near the smaller tooth for scale.

Megalodon Wasn’t a Whale Specialist; It Was an Opportunistic Supercarnivore
Map showing Earth’s landmasses during the late Permian period, when continents were joined in the supercontinent Pangaea. The background features polar ice and aurora lights, and a circular icon with clouds and an arrow suggests a global climate reset. The image illustrates the planet’s geography before the Permian-Triassic mass extinction and climate upheaval

252 Million Years Ago, Earth’s Climate Hit Reset
Museum display of a dinosaur nest with several large fossilized eggs and hatchlings emerging from some of them. The nest is surrounded by sediment and fossilized plant material, showing a reconstruction of how a clutch of dinosaur eggs may have looked in life

Dinosaur Eggshells Had a Secret Until This Study Clutched It Opened
Illustration of Earth’s global temperature over the past 485 million years, based on Judd et al. (2024). A black line shows temperature changes with shaded uncertainty bands. A cartoon trilobite appears over the Paleozoic, a T. rex over the Mesozoic, and a girl pointing at the present day in the Cenozoic. Colored bars across the top indicate shifting climate states from cooler (blue tones) to warmer (red tones). The background shows a volcanic landscape, symbolizing geologic forces that influenced ancient climates

252 million years ago, Earth’s climate flipped: 252 million years ago, Earth’s climate flipped: 10°C hotter, ecosystems collapsed, and life rebooted. A new study shows how ancient plants tracked this reset, and what it means for our future. I broke it down in my latest story. 🌍🌱 (link in bio)
During my master’s in the Institut Català de Pa During my master’s in the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont, I got a behind-the-scenes look at how dinosaur eggshells are studied: sliced, scanned, and examined under powerful microscopes. So when I saw this new Science Advances study, I had to cover the story. Those strange structures my peers once saw under the microscope? Turns out, they weren’t just fossil quirks. They were real biological features now lost in birds. This study confirms that dinosaurs made eggshells differently. And it gives us a rare glimpse into how evolution simplifies and reshapes life’s tools. 🦖 Why did birds lose these structures? 🥚 What does it tell us about how life builds itself? I cover the full story. It’s about eggs, evolution, and how even the tiniest fossils can rewrite what we thought we knew. Link in bio!
I still remember watching the Deep Time exhibit co I still remember watching the Deep Time exhibit come to life at the Smithsonian. This story brought that same awe and urgency back. 🌍 Earth has been hot before. But never this fast. A new study reconstructs 485 million years of global temperatures and shows just how tightly CO₂ has always controlled the climate. It’s not just about the past. It’s a warning about our future.

Your science is brilliant. But can a funder unders Your science is brilliant. But can a funder understand it? A murky grant proposal could cost you $1.2 million. A few years ago, I sat on a grant panel. Not as an applicant but as a reviewer. I was excited to see work in my field. But one proposal? I couldn’t get past the third sentence. It was technically solid. But the writing? Dense. Cold. Impersonal. No story. No purpose. No connection. Guess what happened? Another project, equally solid, got the funding. Why? Because it was clear. Compelling. Human. It made us CARE. That’s when it hit me: Explaining your research clearly is part of the research. Especially if you want it funded. Here’s what I’ve seen the best communicators do: - Stop translating. Start relating. - Lead with the why. - Tell stories, not stats. - Respect your audience’s smarts. - Speak to their world, not just yours. You don’t have to become a marketer. You just have to become understandable. So if you want your future to include more funding, more recognition, and more career impact... Start with how you tell your story. What’s been the hardest part of making your science clearer to others? I’d love to hear your experience below. Join 11,000+ others learning how to make science visible and fundable (link in bio)
