🌿 Evolution isn’t just about survival—it’s about relationships. A new book dives into how plants and animals have shaped each other over millions of years, from ancient pollinators to modern ecosystems.
Nature’s best stories aren’t about competition—they’re about connection. #scicomm

A new book explores the evolutionary romance between plants and animals

Riley Black’s new book, When the Earth was Green, uses the latest research to envision the ancient worlds of our favorite prehistoric animals.

How do you write your papers/articles/projects?

Usually I "write" them in my mind first, and only after I can write them for real. Possibly on a full train. Or under the rain. Or in any other uncomfortable condition you can think about

Recently I have been travelling by train more than usual (which means A LOT), so this #book is the perfect companion :)

Also, travelling with Trenitalia/Trenord is quite as challenging as crossing the wastelands on a steam train 🤣

Night walk in Lodi, #Italy, along the Adda river.

#Photography

A view of Lodi from the river banks at night. The last rays of the sun light up the sky behind the church bell tower. The rest of the sky is dark blue and grey. The lights in the house are on and their reflection is visible in the dark water of the river.
