New student blog post about keeping a #NaturalHistory notebook: This week, Josie writes about how she started out *looking* for #birds -- but found that *listening* (along w/ @MerlinBirdID app) was more fruitful! https://t.co/ijXXZww0jz

In California, 13,000 years ago, ice age mammals that roamed the landscape for millennia, suddenly ceased to exist. The cause? Humans, fires, and an ecosystem made vulnerable by climate change. Read about the groundbreaking study by #TarPits curators: https://t.co/kVvFSDwTbF
