Where Paleontology, Conservation, and Climate Meet

Not everything gets a fossil. Some creatures vanis Not everything gets a fossil. Some creatures vanish without a trace. A new study helps explain why: • Bigger animals change their chemistry as they decay • Shrimp create oxygen-poor pockets that preserve tissue • Small, soft creatures break down too fast • Even buried side-by-side, fates can diverge • Fossilization isn’t just luck—it’s body chemistry This changes how we read the fossil record. Absence doesn’t always mean extinction. It might just mean decay erased the evidence. Read the full story in the Link in bio
“Why aren’t you trying to save pandas?” Som “Why aren’t you trying to save pandas?” Someone once asked me that while I was knee-deep in a project to protect river ecosystems full of overlooked species—tiny fish, insects, swampy plants no one notices. But that question stuck. A new study introduces a broader, smarter way to think about conservation symbols: • Not just pandas or tigers • But forgotten rivers and extinct pigeon flocks • Even a cartoon bear or a single tortoise They call them “flagship entities”—symbols that resonate deeply with specific audiences. What matters isn’t charisma. It’s connection. Relevance. Impact. And that means the faces of conservation must evolve too. You don’t have to be famous to be worth saving.

Being an international student means learning more Being an international student means learning more than science. Here are 5 things I had to figure out quickly: • “Interesting” didn’t always mean they liked my work • Asking questions showed confidence, not confusion • Silence in meetings meant different things than back home • Networking wasn’t arrogance—it was how people got ahead • English wasn’t just a language—it shaped whose voice mattered When I started my PhD, I wasn’t fluent in English, and I didn’t fully understand the academic culture around me. I had to learn how to communicate, belong, and make an impact—all at once. If you’ve ever felt that gap, how did you navigate it?
The climate is moving faster than evolution. (And The climate is moving faster than evolution. (And this wildflower proves it.) Researchers tried a simple test: Move alpine plants to warmer spots. Here’s what they found: • Local plants struggled • Some are already maladapted today • Gene flow won’t save them • No perfect seed to move around • Future success? Patchy at best Adaptation isn’t guaranteed. Survival takes more than hope. Full story in the link in bio
