Time can do so much. Remains of one ancient invertebrate forming a small depression on a french beach, filled by dead invertebrates from our times. #FossilFriday

Check out this new paper in Geological Magazine 🪸Early biomineralization and exceptional preservation of the first thrombolite reefs with archaeocyaths in the lower Cambrian of the western Anti-Atlas, Morocco

More evidence that viruses have shaped our evolution. Ancient virus may be protecting the human placenta

Better than the original

With its "stitched-together" appearance, this chimaera is ready for #Halloween! The lines on its face are actually receptors that detect pressure waves (like ears) & the dotted lines near its mouth can detect living organisms. https://t.co/jkPJKKBPzv

We doen steeds of het onderwijs een weg is van laag naar hoog. Dat beeld moeten we echt kantelen. We denken nog dat het om één ding gaat, om rekenen, cognitie. Terwijl het net zo goed gaat om andere dingen waar je goed in kan zijn: goed samenwerken, ondernemen of creativiteit ⤵️

Nitrogen boundaries exceeded in many world regions - joint @WUR @UUEarthSciences @Leefomgeving study published in @Nature shows that the problem of #nitrogen surplus is also big in, for example, China and India https://t.co/rT25eybddJ #stikstof

You don’t need to travel to another planet to find spooky alien-like lifeforms! This straight-outta-sci-fi isopod was seen at 4,810 m (3 mi) depth in Mariana region. So many deep (sci-fi) mysteries left to unlock in our own ocean. #October #Halloween: https://t.co/jkPJKKBPzv

De orka die gisteren op het strand van Cadzand in Zeeland overleed is een vrouwtje van 5.17 meter en ongeveer 2000 kilo. Vanochtend arriveerde de orka bij de faculteit Diergeneeskunde, waarna het onderzoek is gestart: https://t.co/6YimOlptlj

Feed me, Seymour! Right out of Little Shop of Horrors, this Venus flytrap anemone traps prey in its “jaws” & then uses stinging cells w/ microscopic harpoons to inject venom into captured prey. #Halloween #October: https://t.co/jkPJKKkeHX

Been a while since I did a #FossilFriday Here's a size comparison between a small human (me 😇) and the hindlimb of a large dinosaur (Trix the #Tyrannosaurus rex at @Naturalis_Sci ) These are #3dprinted - otherwise we wouldn't lay them out like this of course.

There is no greater punishment for Putin & no greater support for Ukraine than a free & democratic Belarus. By removing Putin's ally Lukashenka, we make sure that there will never be another threat to 🇺🇦 from our country. Belarusians want peace, democracy & independence, not war.

I always thought Robert Smith was a genius. Look at that h-index 😍 Surprised to see that "A Forest" is not in his list of top cited publications. #TheCure

Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated #OTD in 2006, on Putin's birthday (7.10.) In 'Putin's Russia' (2004), she warned the world, but we wouldn’t listen Today, everything that she wrote – tragedy, bloody violence, the war that Putin was leading to – has happened Lest we forget!

Hoe is het leven op aarde ontstaan? @hetklokhuis ging miljarden jaren terug in de tijd, naar het ontstaan van onze aarde. Met Wim van Westrenen @VU_Science en onze @Mariette_Wolm @UUEarthSciences die een oersoepmachine demonstreert. Vanavond 18:40 @NPO3 https://t.co/XqDbBm8n6Z

We snakken er naar...
