LOVED this conversation on @NPRWeekend between @ayesharascoe & @RaeWynnGrant about Dr. Wynn-Grant’s experiences as a wildlife ecologist and host of Wild Kingdom. “…the identities of scientists aren't always neutral,” Dr. Wynn-Grant says:.

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe asks Rae Wynn-Grant about her journey to becoming an ecologist. Grant writes about it in her memoir, "Wild Life: Finding My Purpose in an Untamed World."

Pop culture critic Linda Holmes recently stumbled onto a satellite radio channel called 80s Chillpill. And though she hadn't really missed any of these songs, they kicked off some serious nostalgia.

Never change, Wildlife Twitter.
Sometimes it's hard to be a serious and professional science agency when amphibians like the northern red salamander exist. Our first caption was, "LOOK AT THIS PERFECT SMOL NUGGET! HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING MORE PERFECT IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE?! LOOK AT THEM DO THEIR PUSHY UPPIES!

This whole thread. Read it.

Hey @carriecoon , thanks for Chief Gloria Burgle. Seriously. I’ve been rewatching Fargo, and to see an earnest, quiet, iron-willed woman say simply, “They try.” was exactly what I needed. Indeed, they try.

Check out this incredible story from @vanromo & @NPR A specimen of an extinct “lion,” long thought lost, was there @tasmuseum the whole time. SO MANY SPECIMENS are found tucked away in museums-practically their own field sites to be excavated!.

The skeleton and skin of what is believed to be the last Tasmanian tiger have been stashed away in a cupboard at a museum in Tasmania, where experts lost track of the bizarre looking creature.
