My favourite Jane Goodall quotes....so many, so to the point, so wise. How different the world would be if enough people listened to her.

"People think hope is wishful thinking, and actually hope is about action." Quote from the Wiser Than Me podcast with Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

"Only when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our true potential." Graphic by the Jane Goodall Institute of South Africa.

"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." Graphic by Ariana Huffington on Instagram.

Hive mind: IODP data reports or Data in Brief? Data in Brief has a publication fee. Other journal alternatives for data reports of results without interpretation and without publication fees? Thx

This was a bonus extension of our NSFfunded late Pleistocene work at Searles with glacial termination pluvials at T1 and T2, with the same suite of biomarkers (doi.org/10.1029/2022...). Almost all the same suite of biomarkers worked for the longer core collected 50 yrs ago by the USGS.

Really enjoyed figuring out this story with Dr. Mark Peaple
and our salty lake team - while the Pliocene warmth is famous, deep lakes filled in SoCal during the M2 glacial pluvial, biomarkers say. Open access doi.org/10.1029/2023...
