Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

New #paleoart for #FossilFriday: the giant Meganeuropsis hawks Dunbaria in Early Permian Kansas, reaching to trap it with long, spiny legs. This image is set at the coast to reflect the marine occurrences of Meganeuropsis and Dunbaria fossils - not all Carbo-Permian insects lived in swamps! #sciart

Outside Gideon Mantell’s house in Lewes after the #WealdenGeologicalAssembly. How he managed his patients, and some 250 home deliveries a year and still found time for the dinosaurs Iguanodon, Hylaeosaurus and much much more is hard to imagine. #FossilFriday

In February 1790 a baby was born in Lewes, Sussex who went on to discover the dinosaur ‘Iguanodon’. A tremendous Saturday at the #WealdenGeologicalAssembly with the Moon and Saturn shining over Gideon Mantell’s birthplace on the way to the pub!

The back end of a really big and incredibly deep iguanodontian dentary. Sadly no teeth remain. Found at Sandown #IsleofWight. #FossilFriday.

Last weekend was my oldest's 21st birthday, and for her party we had to come as someone from the last 5021 years.
Here's me as Mary Anning. You can tell I'm her because I'm holding vertebrae from a plesiosaur and an ichthyosaur.

I don't know why this idea is suddenly flaring up online so early, but yeah, this time next year, Voyager 1 will be one light-DAY away – meaning it will take light a whole 24 hours to travel between Earth and the spacecraft. For comparison: Mars is a few light MINUTES from Earth!
