I’m just gonna say - back when the Academy of Natural Sciences museum was open and cheering for the Eagles, we were winning games - even the Super Bowl. How many games have the Eagles won since Drexel shut down the Academy on September 27th? #drexelcurse #savethemuseum

Do you love fossils? Would you like to show your support for Academy of Natural Sciences staff? @ValleyForgeNHP will be holding a #FossilDay event THIS Saturday, October 17 from 12-4pm. ANSP staff will be on hand to show off some awesome fossils… 1/2

The Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia was essential for my development as a scientist and we cannot let it go away. Let’s pressure Drexel University to keep it open @acadnatsci @savetheacademy @drexeluniv #SaveTheAcademy

I think there's a general perception that since keeping warming to 1.5C is basically impossible then that level of warming must not be that bad, and the people warning of its dangers are exaggerating. Not the case!
Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣@rahmstorfOct 11
A new study has examined 20,736 scientific publications about climate tipping points. Several of those are estimated to be crossed around 1.5 degrees warming, i.e. any time soon: permafrost thaw, Greenland Ice Sheet, North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre. theconversation.com/some-cli…

Some climate tipping points are being studied far more than others – new research

Scientists aren’t focusing on the systems that may be closest to tipping.

A Treasure At Risk 80 million years ago, a pair of Hadrosaurus frolic on the outskirts of their migrating herd, unaware of the fate of their eventual fossils, which are now at risk as the Academy Of Natural Sciences faces closure from Drexel University. #SaveTheAcademy

UPDATE: Hearings were rescheduled to October 26. The lack of transparency and last minute changes is still incredibly unprofessional. Let's hope this doesn't happen a second time.

What the fuck do you mean the hearings for the academy closure are cancelled

You know what’s an awesome Philly analog space that’s great for adults and kids (in a world being drowned in ai) except that Drexel just took it away from the public? #SaveTheAcademy of Natural Sciences! save-the-academy.org – at Baltimore, MD
Billy Penn@billy_pennOct 2
In a world focused on scrolling, AI and technology, more people and places around Philly are embracing an unplugged life and curating analog experiences. What's your favorite way to unplug? billypenn.com/2026/10/01/phi…

Philly loves analog spaces

More people and places around the city are embracing an unplugged life, helping to curate an analog experience. We talked to a few.

drexel wants you to think the academy closed because of declining attendance. And yet, they purposefully wanted to push themselves away from being the "dinosaur museum" in philadelphia, and cut programs like the live animal exhibits to appeal to adults......
