I love to remind LIS folk that I was the second Black male in a CENTURY to get a PhD from one of the oldest library schools in the country at the University of Illinois*…in 2007 We out here…but ain’t many of us. *founded in 1893

The Humans and Hyenas Alliance is excited to unveil our new logo, designed by a fellow National Geographic Explorer & scientific illustrator, Lauren Eckert, PhD w/input from many colleagues around the world. Great timing to boost our fundraiser for a new vehicle! gofund.me/b0810019

We teach a really cool module at Dept of Zoology for our ecology students on natural history #museums' vital role in evidencing environmental change. What's even better is that it includes a class on colonial legacies too. It's important they hear the history behind the collections.

Had a fabulous time on Western Neighborhoods Project Western Neighborhoods Project podcast talking California Academy of Sciences history with Rebekah Kim & Nicole Meldahl! A heartfelt tribute to the Steinhart Aquarium, Sharksicles, Fish Roundabouts and soooo many two-headed snake facts 🐠🐊🦈 outsidelands.org/podcast/WNP529…

Another local myth dies today. For 70 years historians, scientists (and the Chronicle!) said Monarch was the bear on the California flag. Detailed research for a new @CalAcademy exhibition tells a much different story. Some good bear sleuthing here ⬇️ sfchronicle.com/totalsf/articl…

Hi friends, *need your help*! Right-wingers spammed our new doc Queer Planet w/ 1 star reviews on IMDB, bringing the rating rapidly from around 8/10 down to 4/10 within just a few days 😟. Please give us 9 & 10 star reviews to fight back! & share widely💛 m.imdb.com/title/tt281086…

What a fun time last night! Packed theater of history lovers (including so many children!) for our 2nd San Francisco Chronicle San Francisco Time Machine event at the SF Public Library We shared California Academy of Sciences history with Rebekah Kim Great venue and crowd. Hope to be back soon! #TotalSF 🌁❤️

Was sure I imagined this piece of San Francisco ichthyology history, until I found the San Francisco Chronicle story and photos. For five days in 1980, a great white shark lived in Golden Gate Park. (And then made it out alive.) 🦈🌁💯 sfchronicle.com/totalsf/articl…

The shark arrived at California Academy of Sciences when “Jaws” was still a sensation. Fishing captains were offered rewards up to $7,000 for a live great white, which were apparently very hard to keep alive. (Steinhart got Sandy because someone answered their phone.) sfchronicle.com/totalsf/articl…

Leadership of the California Academy of Sciences (CAS) has imposed a 5% cut to the organization’s 600-plus workforce, with a disproportionately greater impact on CAS’s science division. scim.ag/7CK

Not good. Museum collections & research are essential to understanding both the history and future of life on Earth. "California Academy of Sciences reeling from budget cuts: a major natural history collection loses one-quarter of its curators" science.org/content/articl…

Hey folks! I'm a conservation scientist, carnivore ecologist, & science communicator who studies the social-ecological drivers of human-wildlife interactions in the contexts of One Health & environmental justice. #BlackMammalogistsRollCall

Hey everyone, I'm a wildlife ecologist studying free-roaming domestic cats and how urban environments influence their behavior and ecological impacts on native wildlife. Here to answer all your wildlife-related questions! As always, stay curious! #BlackMammalogistsRoleCall

One of my favorite moments so far has been Dr. Gumbs describing how floating in the water requires letting go, spreading out, and allowing yourself to be supported 💙 #BlackMammalogists #RewildingTuesday

hiii i’m cesar and i’m a urban ecologist researching how societal inequality shapes the ecology of cities by blending wildlife ecology with environmental justice :)

this is today!! yay 🥰🥰

May every Library defunding attempt crumble
