Recommended by Jessica Hetherington

My personal Substack

Paleontology, ecology, and climate change. We explore Earth’s deep past to understand today’s crises. From mass extinctions to modern ecosystems, we turn complex science into human stories—linking ancient shifts to our future on a changing planet

We need the science to help us take action. And we need people who can share the science in accessible ways for (us) non-scientists!
