Also, can anyone @utrechtuniversity (or anyone else really?) explain why there is a copy of the Jelling stone (Denmark's baptism certificate, more or less) standing outside the cathedral? #JellingSten

Our work on the evolutionary history of #cycads is out in @newphyt !
We built a #phylogeny with 321 extant and 60 #fossil cycads, and dispelled the myth of the 'living fossil' being left over from the age of the #dinosaurs

Happy #DarwinDay! Charles Darwin was born #OTD 1809. During the first two years of his voyage aboard HMS Beagle, he collected a considerable number of fossil mammals from South America. Those discoveries sparked the theory of #evolution paleonerdish.wordpress.com/201

Menopause is a new season where women lack control of our bodies. Not because of religion or legislation but because of lack of knowledge and lack of education on menopause, especially for our doctors. nytimes.com/2023/02/01/magazin
