March Mammal Madness fans, good news! @natickbobcat.bsky.social created a Starter Pack of folks involved in #2025MMM. I also converted it into a Bluesky List so you have both options. Happy species research!

List: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Pack: go.bsky.app/BVUtr1g 🧪

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025!

Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide!
