LA GUERRA DE LOS HUESOS
¡Cómo me gustan las historias de la #historia de la #ciencia!
Os dejo una de las más notables de la #paleontología, la que a finales del s. XIX protagonizaron dos buscadores que andaban a la greña por ese #fósil de más.

1- En concreto hablamos de los norteamericanos Edward #Cope y Othniel #Marsh.
Por lo visto, estos dos personajes compartían su amor por los #fósiles (sobre todo si eran de #dinosaurios!), pero también otras cualidades, digamos que menos positivas, de la condición humana.

2- Lo que sí está claro es que después de un tiempo de respeto mutuo y, ¡para la cinta!, sin acabar muy bien de saber por qué (hay diversas versiones), a partir de 1868 pasaron a la siguiente pantalla de su relación: ni te trago ni, mucho menos, quiero verte.
One of the attractions of the San Joaquin Marsh is an island in the middle of one of the ponds that is covered with White Pelicans and Double Crested Cormorants. I have a confession about the cormorants: I have...
...never been close enough or had a powerful enough lens to see the tiny wisps of hair that constitute the "crests" on these birds. There are those who doubt that they exist. As far as I know there are only a handful of photos showing the crests...
...and even they are not impressive. The best practice is to assume that any cormorant that you see in the San Joaquin Marsh is a Double Crested and check it of your life list as one. I get many questions about the cormorants...
Here is the secret behind the existence of San Joaquin Marsh: it is a sewer. Here is the reasoning behind the construction of this artificial wetland. The water processing plant adjacent to the refuge cleanses runoff and sewage...
...of fertilizers and other urban nasties. You cannot pump clean water into the Upper Newport Bay and expect a healthy ecosystem. The water needs to carry nutrients that the ecological pyramid of the Bay depends on...
...to feed the lowest tier of the animal community. Clean water does not carry out this task. So to be sure that the water is fit for this community, it is run through the channels and ponds where it picks up...
My hair's getting long, but not long enough to tie into a ponytail, which is my intention in this time when we avoid barbers. You can see how long my hair has become in the selfie I posted today. In it I sit at my desk...
...working on my laptop, my immense desk towering over me and clutter filling the space that is not filled by electronics. I chose black and white for this composition as I do for all my best selfies. It's unique because...
...I show myself from the back, a trick I mastered by resorting to the ten second timer in one of my cameras. I don't know how I feel about this photo -- perhaps you have something to say. I'd be very interested.
