Adivina adivinanza, 🔍🦈 Nuestro seguidor @CenzoRiera encontró esto mientras buceaba. ¿Alguien sabe de qué se trata? 🤔💭 Pista: el animal del que proviene se alimenta de moluscos y crustáceos
Hola @Sepaleontologia, hace años encontré esto buceando y siempre he querido saber qué es. ¿Es un fósil? Y en su caso, ¿sabrían decirme de qué se trata?

'Walking with Dinosaurs' was a major inspiration for 7-year-old me. 25 years later, research from my team and brilliant colleagues has changed how we imagine the past - I hope the new series will be just as inspirational for the next generation of scientists! 🦕
Legends will be unearthed… The iconic Walking with Dinosaurs is returning in a major new @BBCStudios production for @BBC and @PBS, co-produced with ZDF and @FranceTele. Find out more ⤵️ bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/bbcstu…

Happy to share our latest preprint! We explore how winemaking has shaped the genomic and phenotypic diversity in Lachancea thermotolerans. Particularly remarkable are our findings regarding lactic acid production! In great collaboration with @haploteam biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A finales de los 60 una banda fue el símbolo de una época. Tocaron en todos los grandes festivales, su música llegó a millones y vivieron al límite. Su avión volaba tan alto... que se transformó en una nave espacial. Hoy, en #LaHistorietaMusical, Jefferson Airplane.

Yes, the model of scientific publications is broken. However, there's something else that is even more insidious: in many universities, the main criterion for hiring/promotion is not the quality of the science, but the amount of funding that someone can bring. (cont.)

Check out our new paper! 🚨 The Montseny brook newt (Calotriton arnoldi) is considered the most endangered amphibian in Europe, and an exhaustive genomic study has allowed us to delve into its fascinating history and discover some of the threats that menace this species! 🧵👇

New paper @NatureEcoEvo led by @AlexRDPayne & @drkatiedavis, with @GraemeTLloyd, in which we show how the interplay of biotic + abiotic drivers shaped the 250 million year history of crocodiles + their extinct relatives: nature.com/articles/s41559-0…
