Super excited to share my new project, a book about how flies have fundamentally shaped what it means to be human. Get ready to completely rethink your nastiest of kitchen pests! Thanks to @sarahmfuentes & Madison Hernick of @unitedtalent, & Hallie Schaeffer of @Flatironbooks 🪰

good morning, it is spooky month

Ghost Baby Clifford is here to announce that it is officially spooky season. Let the festivities commence.

Chimps ingest quite some alcohol, but they don't get drunk. “That would be very dangerous when you need to climb high up in a tree to build a nest to sleep at night.” New story for @NatGeo!

🦟 In June, I visited the world’s biggest mosquito factory in Brazil. It breeds insects armed with a bacterium that curbs the spread dengue. Here's my @Nature story on the challenges of mass-producing these disease-fighting mosquitoes

A common type of ant in Europe breaks a fundamental rule in biology: its queens can produce male offspring that are a whole different species https://t.co/2vgdjcuFPH

My latest story for @newscientist - the first in many years - is kind of crazy. Based on a @nature study by @selfishmeme and colleagues.

We’ve climbed Everest, mapped the oceans, and trekked to the poles. Yet 90% of Earth’s species remain unknown. The golden age of discovery is happening now — as scientists race to catalogue our planet's "dark taxa" @BenjiSJones for @voxdotcom:

Can you catch diseases from toilet seats? https://t.co/wFGmQfk541 "...the risk is vanishingly low." "The threat is not to your rear end, it is to your mouth from your hands." Sum: wash your hands!

Scientists suspect they have discovered over 40 new species off the Coast of Argentina. The deep sea wonders include shimmering squids, pink lobsters and an interesting looking seastar.

Landraces and wild species hold genetic diversity that could be key to developing new potato varieties, which are needed to help farmers adapt to climate change and other challenges. 🥔 Learn more on #NationalPotatoDay in this 2019 issue of Science: https://t.co/XoI2pA1x9k

My latest cartoon for @newscientist

“yeah, I have capacity, what do you need?”

Heartbreaking & infuriating news: Aljazeera journalist, Anas Al-Sharif has been killed by Israeli forces in a targeted attack. 22 months on and journalists are still being killed with impunity. We need coordinated action across all international media organizations immediately!

URGENT: My good friend of 20 years, the journalist @AlecLuhn , is missing. Friends in Norway: please reach out to anyone you know who was hiking Ullensvang on the northern edge of Folgefonna since last week.
