As a side project, I have been collecting white squirrel and other color morphs for 12 years. I have over 40K citizen science location reports. New ones are sent every day and I have NEVER seen one like this before. Thanks for this oddball! Made my day.

Presenting at @NCState about the critical importance of media in conservation work and showing the last 2 decades of work I have on it.

We just finished another year of SnowCamp. Learn more and let me know if you want to be a part of the trip in 2027: stoneageman.com/trips/winter-s… ** For scicommers we do a second trip the week after** (same idea, but with a select group of colleagues)

New Video - and the last one to close this chapter. youtu.be/big7gc3zGPE

Hey Science Communicators with a passion for making a difference - we have one more spot for SnowCamp Feb 8-12 2026! Let me know if you have any interest in coming.

Costa Rica was an incredible experience with this crew. Lots to think about, lots to do. I'm planning our StoneAgeMan experience for this place (but probably a different style) in 2026

@Emessjay2 Haha. 🔱👍😎

@UntamedScience Rob, you need a trident, man!

A week in Costa Rica scouting for a future StoneAgeMan course. Surf, sun, rainforest, fungi and more!

I'm off to Costa Rica to work with some amazing psychedelic therapists and guides to explore a couple more science concepts for the youtube series. Chocolate is one topic. The other one, more fungal in nature. I'm still figuring out what Youtube will let me talk about.

I'll be in Costa Rica next week scouting for another science communication course, and a nature immersion course that we'll be running through StoneAgeMan in the future. Very excited!

I just talked to another person who got their mushroom content taken down. They were not talking about doing anything illegal, just growing random mushrooms (a technique that could also be used to grow magic mushrooms). Where is the line? I'm not sure.

Learn more about it here: stoneageman.com/trips/winter-s… and fill out the application so we can connect.

Where: Abisko Sweden 🇸🇪 When: Feb 3rd - Feb 12th (4-day sessions) Who: Jonas & I are leading 2 groups. The Experience: Ice fishing, saunas, reindeer, ice hotels, and learn to not fear the cold! We make it very affordable - It's about finding the right group.

WANT TO MASTER WINTER? ❄️ I'm Announcing SnowCamp 2026 in Arctic Sweden! We're running two 4 day trips: 1. Winter Survival 2. SciComm Think Tank / Bonding We'll be there for the peak Northern Lights 🌌 (Feb 3-12). & we have 4 spots left.

I guess I thought people might have more to say about this on the platform. Maybe not. Nobody seemed to even see it.

@RCarhartHarris Looking forward to it!

Little vid on my forthcoming book in link below. Shipping it to my editors this week. Full redraft all done, feels good. 84K words, 14 chapters, 24 figures, 1 tour de force: carhartharrislab.com/upcoming-book

Are we being censored for sharing health-related or myco-information? I posted about this on YouTube, and hundreds of people reached out to share similar experiences. I'm curious—what do you know about this? Have you noticed anything unusual? Let's discuss!

This is ginger which grows all over the forest. It was fun pulling it up to show people the root and where that spice comes from. The shot is from 2003 when I was in grad school at the University of Hawaii and leading botany hikes for tourists.

@DamonGochneaur Next time - kinda last minute this one.

@UntamedScience I would love to do this but the dates don’t align I’m afraid. Next time.

Anyone want to join me in on a ceremony of the myco-kind in Costa Rica Nov 15-19? It's rare I get these opportunities and there is a great org there doing it. It's worth finding others with a similar positive mindset going in.

This is where cinnamon comes from! I used to show this tree to people when I guided walks in Hawaii and 99 percent of people had no idea the size it can get.
