Read it and weep📖 (with joy, we hope). ...There really isn't a good reason to NOT participate in the great #ShakeOut! Inconvenient? Well it's a heckuva lot more convenient than an #earthquake will be. Sign up for free, and learn more today, at shakeout.org!

The internet's favorite hippo took a moment to show us all how to protect yourself during an earthquake! Pretty Deng cute. #MooDeng #DropCoverHoldOn
Infographic showing how to Drop, Cover, and Hold On during an earthquake, where the human pictograms have been replaced with pygmy hippo Moo Deng. In the first image, "Drop" Mood Deng has dropped down low to the ground, successfully lowering her Center of Gravity to avoid being knocked over by shaking. In the second, Cover, Moo Deng is remaining low to the ground, and moving towards a sturdy table for cover. It appears that she couldn't find anything to cover her head and neck with, but we recommend that humans use their arm, or something hard like a textbook to keep these important parts covered while moving towards better cover. In Hold On, remaining under the sturdy table, Moo Deng is biting the table leg, to hold on, and ensure that her cover remains above her during the whole earthquake!

I have a new paper up for pre-print review @EGU_GChron (gchron.copernicus.org/prepri…). Its an R package age modeling using a Bayesian inversion of astrochronology and radioisotopic dates. I want to encourage folks to give it a read and participate in the journals open review system 👍

We have a new paper out in @PNASNews today utilizing phosphate oxygen and clumped isotopes to infer endothermy in extinct megatooth shark, Otodus megalodon. @SoraLKim @ClumpedIsotopes @RobinTrayler @JM_McCormack @aakhtar12 @wpunj_edu pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…

The evolution of the extinct megatooth shark, Otodus megalodon, and its close phylogenetic relatives remains enigmatic. A central question persists...

This could have been a very simple figure but the authors seemed to have decided to pumafy it 110%
A two part figure showing locations of study areas in California. Different sized pumas on the map are used to show location and sample size.

Preparedness tip for #PiDay: Pie is perishable. Keeping it in your preparedness kit would be ...irrational.
