The Technosphere: The Hidden Carbon Sink

A scenic glacier landscape with icy blue meltwater flowing through the foreground. Overlayed are colorful cartoon-style bacteria illustrations, including clusters of yellow spherical microbes, a large purple rod-shaped bacterium, and two green oval-shaped bacteria with spiky outlines, symbolizing microbial activity in the icy environment. Snow-capped mountains loom in the background under a cloudy sky.

This image is bold and visually striking—perfect for drawing attention to a piece about the asteroid impact that ended the reign of dinosaurs. The juxtaposition of the roaring T. rex with the impending asteroid makes the stakes immediately clear and dramatic. It has a cinematic, almost sci-fi tone that could work well for outreach, educational posts, or teaser content

Did the Fossils Lie? The Dinosaurs Weren’t in Decline Before the Asteroid
A close-up of a white alpine flower superimposed over a scenic view of the Rocky Mountains, with snow-dusted peaks, dense pine forests, and a turquoise glacial lake under a clear blue sky.

Can This Wildflower Keep Up With Climate Change?
This image illustrates the powerful ecological role of ants using a striking visual metaphor: a colony of leafcutter ants carrying vegetation beneath a toppling line of dominoes. The dominoes symbolize the cascading effects ants can trigger within ecosystems — from soil health to plant diversity. It hints at how small creatures can have disproportionately large impacts, much like a single domino can start a chain reaction.

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
I cried after my first conference talk. Here are I cried after my first conference talk. Here are 5 reasons it changed my science journey: • I spoke English the whole time (barely) • My slides made sense—people took notes • I forgot words but didn’t freeze • A stranger said, “Great talk” afterward • I realized I belonged in academia I didn’t cry because I failed. I cried because I did it. Scared. But I did it. That moment gave my work purpose I now LOVE giving conference talks. What moment made you feel like you finally belonged? Let’s talk about the messy milestones we rarely share.
Dinosaurs weren’t declining before the asteroid. Dinosaurs weren’t declining before the asteroid. They were just hard to find. Here’s what changed paleontologist's perspective: • Fossils are shaped by geology, not just biology • Gaps in records don’t mean extinction • Detection ≠ abundance • Some species hide better in deep time • Science is built on what survives Absence in the record isn’t proof of absence.
