It's not every day you find a dinosaur with such spectacular preservation that the skin is fossilized, offering hints about its behavior + social patterns. That's what makes Zuul special. My latest for @NHMU w/ upcoming DinoFest keynote Dr. David Evans

In our latest blog post, we interview Dr. Susannah Maidment, a keynote speaker at this year's DinoFest on January 27 and 28, about all things stegosaur. Check out this fascinating read now: bit.ly/3RZTfyp

What kind of damage could stegosaurs really do? Turns out, a lot more than you might think. This Allosaurus vertebra from NHMU's paleontology collections has a hole that suggests a stegosaur swung its spiky tail right at this unlucky predator with enough force to impact the bone.

Just pointing out that @kbeccaandrews has written an incredibly timely and important book AND I have ordered it AND she will be in San Francisco doing a reading @booksmith this Thursday (i.e. tomorrow) 🔖
Some news: In light of the #SCOTUS leak, we’re fast-tracking my book, “No Choice.” Pre-orders are live, and we have a cover! If you need me, I’ll be mainlining coffee and trying to remember to breathe. bit.ly/nochoicebook

Wondering why the weather in San Francisco is so different from Oakland or San Mateo? It’s all about how our topography interacts with the ocean and the weather. @hellodanpo explains for @Kqedbaycurious

The microclimates we experience in the Bay Area are the result of interesting interactions between our topography, geography and the weather. Layer up! @hellodanpo

Oh hey @kbeccaandrews’s book No Choice comes out today! It’s #SpanielDayLewis approved!
Super jazzed to dig into No Choice coming soon from @kbeccaandrews!!

A friend of the station brings us the fun, weird tale of a game of chess he played against hip-hop legend @TheRealGZA before his performance this week in Nashville. WPLN reporter emeritus @hellodanpo takes it from here: wpln.org/post/da-mystery-of-…

Some personal news: My husband @hellodanpo played chess with the GZA and instantly got hotter, I did not know this was possible: wpln.org/post/da-mystery-of-…

Bet you weren't expecting this story on @WPLN today. So enjoyed having @hellodanpo back on the air. wpln.org/post/da-mystery-of-…

And for me, the biggest message from this study is that 3 of our greatest existential threats—climate change, pandemics, and the sixth mass extinction of wildlife—are really the same mega-problem. We have to treat it as such. 7/ theatlantic.com/science/arch…

This @kqedbaycurious podcast episode from @hellodanpo will transport you back to these days 😁

The next time you gaze out over the bay, picture herds of mammoths and giant bison grazing in a wide, grassy valley, bisected by a mighty river as it flows toward an ancient ocean some 30 miles west of the Golden Gate: bit.ly/3EF0GnD

About a year ago, my mom was scammed by some guys who told her they were calling to help her secure my parents’ finances. For @WIRED, I wrote about what it’s been like for us to deal with the fallout—mentally, emotionally, logistically. wired.com/story/phone-scam-p…
