Go see Predator Badlands - and just like her music for Prey, my sister @SarahSchachner plays many of the stringed parts herself for the epic score! 🔥 It is an AMAZING movie by @DannyTRS
If you dig BADLANDS in the theater, I strongly encourage you to check out the film’s BRILLIANT score by @SarahSchachner and @BenWallfisch, two of the most incredible artists we’ve ever worked with. The hills are alive with the sound of Yautja!

I've said it before, I'll say it again: you may think you're bad-ass... but you are not "got sent to Auschwitz on purpose to collect intel/organize resistance and then escaped" bad-ass.

You will get a great education at Saint John’s College in Maryland
This is the most iconic image in the history of college marketing. Colleges have come up with everything under the sun to attract students, but St. John’s in Annapolis just took a picture of their reading list and countless students have made their college decision because of it.

Amazing work by Dr Baumgart and some people from some other small university 😂🥳 #bipedalism
I'm so excited this paper is out in @Nature! I contributed some CT scanning & 3d rendering, but the international team led by Drs. Senevirathne & Capellini at @Harvard combined many methods to reveal how humans evolved to walk upright on 2 legs. https://t.co/Avy66xP5nQ

New and much needed study by @paleofox and team on lung development in squamates. Filling in one more piece of the pulmonary puzzle for Sauropsida.
anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com
Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single-chambered, transitional, and multi-chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While...

Exploiting the Museum and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to sanitize “globalize the intifada” is outrageous and especially offensive to survivors. Since 1987 Jews have been attacked and murdered under its banner. All leaders must condemn its use and the abuse of history.

New #OpenAccess dinosaur physiology paper out today as part of the Bio Letters theme issue on 200 years of dinosaurs! 🥳 Led by Stephanie Baumgart 🦖🦕🫁🫀🧠 (link below)
Dino physiology lessons? 200 years after the 1st dinosaur was named, new technologies yield amazing data from fossils. Physiology is vast, we hit on some topics & gave ideas for improving hypotheses regarding how dinosaur bodies may have worked. https://t.co/cpSKdVjdD2 🌡❤️🫁🦕🦖

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

The 2025 U.S. #StateoftheBirds report urges conservation action for 112 Tipping Point species, 42 of which have perilously low populations. We need policies that keep up with proven conservation measures to #bringbirdsback for a healthy America. https://t.co/rk0f7lNqK9

Our paper led by @MikeMSch is out #OA in @AnatRecord. We explore how the craniofacial hinge joint balances mobility & stability in helmeted hornbills, birds w/ high-impact head-butting behavior. Thanks @MasonDeanLab for inviting me to join the fun! https://t.co/bCE1x6UiAU
