Spent the day with so many adorable young scientists!

PBS Kids Day was a treat. I love meeting curious kids & watching them marvel at #science. Children ask the best questions.

My brother has a plastic owl perched on his roof to scare away some woodpeckers. Not like his house is infested with grubs though...

It's humpback🐋 season but the only one I've seen so far this year was a glimpse from a plane last week.

Calm mornings are a good time to see them though.

I got a used fresnel light for indoor photography. These things are really expensive new. Now I just need a stand because this thing gets very hot.

Image Description for picture posted above

A nighttime photo of a hillside against the night sky. On the edge of the hillside, there are a couple buildings. The full moon hangs in the sky right behind the buildings. In all, it looks a bit like the moon had squared eyes and was peeking over the hillside.

The image has a dark blue hue, the moon is colored a buttery yellow.

Nice hommage to the ESA image of the sun behind the ELT dome.

New research challenges hunter-gatherer narrative

"Analysis of the remains of 24 individuals from the Wilamaya Patjxa and Soro Mik'aya Patjxa burial sites in Peru shows that early human diets in the Andes Mountains were composed of 80 percent plant matter and 20 percent meat." #AnimalRights #nutrition #plantbased #food #diet #GoVegan sciencedaily.com/releases/2024…

<💬>
The oft-used description of early humans as "hunter-gatherers" should be changed to "gatherer-hunters," at least in the Andes of South America"

---

Additionally, burnt plant remains from the sites and distinct dental-wear patterns on the individuals' upper incisors indicate that tubers -- or plants that grow underground, such as potatoes -- likely were the most prominent subsistence resource.
</💬>

tuber-gatherer 🙂

<💬>
Haas notes that archaeologists now have the tools to understand early human diets, and their results are not what they anticipated. This case study demonstrates for the first time that early human economies, in at least one part of the world, were plant based.
</💬>

This isn't the first time I've read such news.

if purchasing means you don't own it, then piracy means you didn't steal it :blobcoffee:
