But the map is not the territory. He begins to look at and talk to phemomenologists and our actu…

Fascinating research on chimpanzees. They fracture into groups, wage war on each other, are aggressive, develop border patrols, isolate, etc.

Content warning: CW: auspol, science funding, fossil fuels.
Let’s face it: $500 million’s a lot of money. It has to come from somewhere.
If we give astronomers half a billion for their networked telescopes, for instance, the fossil fuel industry might need to pay market rate for their diesel—for a whole *week and a half.*

Forget describing new species, how often are we adding new genera, families, orders, and classes? New higher-order clades are often "hidden" as symbionts or in less-accessible habitats

I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it.

What happens when you connect 400 car batteries in series and zap stuff? Anthony Drake will show you with this video. A couple years ago he hooked up 100 batteries. YouTube had some problems with that and almost cancelled his channel. He added some safety tips and they’re happy now. It’s 2 hours long and worth the time. It’s only ≈65V but he gets up to 150,000 amps. #science
