For the Apollo 11 anniversary we got @jswatz to interview him about how the story came together. I’m sad we won’t get to pick his brain more on how to cover Artemis II and Artemis III and beyond

I joined the Science desk in 2015 as a science naïf. Wilford still had a desk back then, and stopped in once a month or so. So kind and gracious with his time. Still so enthusiastic about discoveries in paleontology. Here he posed in 2019 with an Apollo 11 anniversary poster

So, @FieldMuseum, everyone gets a Santa hat except me, huh? And I'm just supposed to be grateful because I "have my own suite" and am "objectively cooler than the other fossils," right? Wrong. Put the hat on or I'll eat a class field trip.

Few critters would dare eat a northern giant hornet, whose mammoth stinger and potent venom earn the insect the "murder hornet" moniker. But to a Japanese pond frog, these deadly insects are tasty treats! 🐸🐝 [videos in link below!] Latest for @nytimes:

A researcher found that a Japanese pond frog is impervious to the stings of the northern giant hornet, even when it goes down the hatch.

The male comedians are going through something. I know, I know, but this time I’m not referring to the obvious ones who have lost their minds through some excess of steroid abuse and podcast appear...
