Still wild to be studying deep time like this... 🥹✨
Desk views 🐰✏️🐰
More Friday 17:00 thoughts starting to unspool 🙃
It’s been so cool to follow the work coming from @gabdans.bsky.social. Awesome to see someone pushing the field into the applied space and being intentional about thinking about the end use of the cool science that we do!
🚨 NEW MUD DINOSAUR SCIENCE 🦕☄️
Obsessed with seeing networks being built, smashed and stress-tested with real data - not just debated from the sidelines 👀 (self-aware self-own 🙋).

This work was masterfully lead by @jonastrepel.bsky.social, and features amazing art by @tanyadoesscience.bsky.social (attached here). It was a pleasure to be part of the discussions - and we hope to spark a wider conversation on developing robust frameworks for evaluating impact.
