Jane Goodall is an inspiration to so many in science, myself included. I once combed through @scifri.bsky.social's archives listening to her interviews. I'll never forget her on-air imitation of a chimp pant-hoot. A true legend ๐๐ www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t8_... www.sciencefriday.com/articles/arc...
Well done, @merriam-webster.com! You got me with this one.
Truer words were never spoken: "While humans are Earthโs most dominant animal species, itโs really a rodentโs world and we are just living in it"

Happy Shark Awareness Day!
I want people to be aware of 5 things:
1 Sharks are awesome
2 Sharks are not a threat to your safety
3 Sharks are ecologically important
4 Sharks are highly threatened
5 We can still save them- but it matters what we do, donโt reinvent the wheel, follow experts!
