I’ve been using @Grammarly for well over a year to make sure I don’t have any silly typos when I write about #crispr for @Synthego. Despite using the word #genome thousands of times, for some reason it still thinks I must be talking about gnomes lmao

Just bought tickets to see @RichardDawkins in Brisbane in 2023!🥳I am so excited to finally hear him speak live! For those who don't know, Richard's work is responsible for my #Atheist awakening after being raised Catholic, and my subsequent obsession with #biology & #evolution

My partner is convinced that almost nobody likes lichens. He simply won’t believe me when I tell him of the enormous lichen fan base in the world. Can you LIKE THIS POST IF YOU LIKE LICHENS? I know I’m not alone!!! (Bonus: see rest of this thread for lots of lichen pics)

Europe is on fire, meanwhile Kylie Jenner is taking 15 minute trips in her private jet. I could recycle everything, buy all my clothes second hand, compost and grow my own food for the rest of my life and it wouldn’t even begin to offset the footprint from one of her flights.
