Couldn’t be more excited to announce what @TomMQuigley and I have been building the past two years: @superorganismvc, the first venture firm for biodiversity.

Ryan Huling is the author of 'The Hidden Nations of Animals.' In this essay, adapted from his book, he discusses how our understanding of civilizations applies to animals time.com/article/2026/0…

A very happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough, the absolute 🐐

@jamescham @stewartbrand @tamarawinter One of my favorites! Reading and enjoying Maintenance: of Everything now.

A terrific @stewartbrand reference from one of the firms I admire the most! (Someone needs to republish How Buildings Learn! Perhaps @tamarawinter?)

@SteveBrusatte @PNASNews This rules!

The paper is published open access today in @PNASNews Check it out: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

🚨Our new study is out! We've put AI to good use, to classify and identify dinosaur footprints! Dinosaur footprints are more common than bones. But to figure out which dinosaur made a track, we need to do the Cinderella thing, and match a footprint to a foot. And that's hard.

@_jake_robinson I can't wait for my copy to arrive!

🎉 Today’s the day! My #OneHealth book, #TheNatureOfPandemics, is officially published. This book feels more urgent now than when I started writing it, as we slip into the seductive comfort of ‘back to normal’, a kind of societal amnesia, despite clear evidence that pandemic 1/

@BenGoldsmith @ElakhaA @ElakhaA is doing rewilding so well. Doing the work of building trust in communities, supporting good science, and telling a compelling story. Could not be a bigger fan. 🦦

During Sea Otter Awareness Week, I talk with Chanel Hason of Elakha Alliance, working to reintroduce vital sea otters to their former Pacific north-west range! This new episode of Rewilding the World is out now, wherever you get your podcasts. @ElakhaA #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek

@PeterOlivier Prepping for NYCW I take it?

a link that you can send to another person that: 1) ingests their calendar invites, 2) compares their events with yours (without sharing them with you) 3) then tells both parties which events you are both attending so you can meet up during a conference does this exist?

@sdamico @ImpulseLabs_ Absolutely can't wait for mine! 🍳

We're shipping @ImpulseLabs_ After four years of company-building and a lot of engineering, manufacturing, and compliance work, customers are getting units. Huge thanks to everyone who pre‑ordered since January 2024 and stuck with us. You made this moment happen.

I ran into an interesting story, and since I have much time on this cruise I will write it as a thread. Teaser: The US owes its ownership of Alaska to one of “the Eight Beauties of Ancient China,” the concubine Chen Yuanyuan from the 1600s. Here is the tale… 🧵 /1 shine.cn/feature/art-cu…

@BenLamm Great paper! And, a quality entry in the list of things GRRM will do instead of writing Winds of Winter

Dire Wolves were closer to wolves than jackals and also had white/light colored coats. Check out our new paper with more than 500x more genetic data than anyone has ever had on dire wolves. Also check out the incredible author list on the paper. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am incredibly excited to see our SpeciesNet model released!! This represents years of work by the @WildInsights AI team (and completely impossible without Ștefan Istrate's AI development and implementation effort). Github: github.com/google/camerat… Blog: blog.google/outreach-initi…

@SophiePurdom @_SophiePurdom Done! A while back someone turned Superorganism into a crypto scam, imitation flattery and all that

Fake Sophie is back with a weak emoji game and no original content... don't be fooled! And if you want to make this app one iota of a better place, please report Fake @_SophiePurdom as an imposter account. 🙏

And now at @willob's request, we have our first shark up at @superorganismvc

Pumped about this one. Meet @UlyssesEcoEng, building robots to restore seagrass at scale.

“Bilbao designed the aquarium to be reclaimed by the sea.”

Obviously it was called the Museum Wormianum and this is what it looked like.

TIL that Copenhagen’s natural history museum was founded by a guy named Ole Worm.
