The goal is to highlight how little we actually know about the animals in our own backyard and explain what we gain by finding and naming them. I'm stoked!

Benji Jones (@benjij.bsky.social) is determined to discover a new species in NYC.
@vox.com's senior environmental correspondent gave our Science Friday producers a house tour of his Malaise trap in Prospect Park. This tent will hopefully catch an unknown insect hiding right in our own backyard.
What a treat to be able to guest edit today's @thesundaylongread.bsky.social.

Checks it out! @charlesbethea.bsky.social, @nathanielpopper.bsky.social, @mariepastora.bsky.social, @benjij.bsky.social, @davidjroth.bsky.social, and many others.

the only moments of my adult life that i am not on the cusp of falling asleep / fighting an everpresent pull towards the unconscious is when i’m trying to sleep on a f*ing plane
man behind me is talking loudly and my mind has decided to filter out the white noise and latch itself to every word. why
Some exciting news: @vox.com is setting out to discover a new animal species in NYC! 🧵
I wrote about how logging is not the environmental boogeyman many people make it out to be
with one big caveat: Logging in a way that doesn't destroy ecosystems requires expertise, research, and resources — things Trump officials have axed from the Forest Service.
