Science is not only a quest for information. It is also a competition between paradigms, or models for understanding nature. Fossil Men is, in part, a tale of how scientists discover, analyze, grapple with dissonance, shed old beliefs, and arrive at new understanding – in other words, the evolution of thought. It also is an account of the nonscientific dynamics of human psychology, bias, resentment, rival camps, and tribalism. The Ardi team bet that consensus was a poor predictor of being right. That conventional wisdom wasn’t any less wrong because a lot of people happened to believe it. That human intelligence still was capable of better insight than computer-generated analysis. That the old masters of anatomy, whose work had been largely forgotten and entombed in dusty library stacks, sometimes offered better insight into human evolution than the cutting-edge technologies that now commanded the attention of the field. That fossils could provider better information about human evolution than predictions based on molecular biology and modern apes. That “the profession” had ventured too far out on a limb in concocting a narrative of human origins, and they had no choice but to saw it off.

🇺🇲 Step back in time to the era of wearable tech with the Fossil Wrist PDA! Released in 2003, this innovative smartwatch ran Palm OS and boasted a Motorola DragonBall Super VZ 66 MHz CPU.
⌚️ The AU/FX series offered robust PDA functionalities, seamlessly synchronizing with PCs and featuring an infrared port, virtual keyboard, and touch screen—delivering a truly immersive user experience.
✒️ Sporting a graffiti handwriting recognition system, the Wrist PDA also housed a tiny stylus in its clasp, alongside navigation buttons and a rocker switch for effortless menu navigation. With a screen resolution akin to a Palm III and an electroluminescent backlight, it ensured usability day and night.
⚙️ Furthermore, this multifunctional device doubled as a TV remote via Palm applications, although with limited range. Its built-in watch program offered a variety of "watch faces" to suit every style.
💵 With a debut price of $249, the Fossil Wrist PDA epitomized cutting-edge technology and style, capturing the imagination of tech enthusiasts and fashionistas alike.

I’ve been getting into the habit of setting alarms for myself when I run out of actions mid grinding stuff, so I know both when I have actions and what I was planning on doing with them.
However sometimes these get very funny.

Fluttershy!
Oh, hi Twilight! I see you've got a pokeball at the ready. Come to battle?
What? Oh, no, this isn't one of my team. I actually brought this one for you. Amaura, come out!
Oh, wow... You're just beautiful, aren't you? Such pretty frills! What's your name?
Keseph? Did I say that right? That's a pretty name. And you want to come with me and do pokemon battles?
Excellent! Oh, Twilight, you really didn't have to. Where did you find her?
Restored from a fossil! I found an imprint of one of her sails in the glittering cave and just had the lab bring her back from millions of years ago!
Oh my stars...
Learned all about the process too! They use this... energy of life substance... and that creates a living pokemon out of the template provided by the fossil remnants. It's so cool! And very useful too, they even told me where they get the energy from. Imagine that, eternal life, immortality that actually works and is more than just the slow aging of an alicorn!
Uh, yes, I... can imagine...
I've already told the team. Did you meet Lys while you were in Lumiose City, visiting Augustine? Not sure he's been back that way recently. But he's coming down here and said to meet him on the beach below the town first thing tomorrow. You should come, and bring your new friend there too!
Sure, if you want? I think I'm ready to move on from Ambrette Town soon anyway. I can't wait to meet your scientist friend!

Other people will tell Joe ‘Aw! Your husband is so calm and sweet!’ but they are all wrong. Mags will not hesitate to tell someone to cut someone or thing out if it keeps causing them trouble.

His longtime Ethiopian colleague Berhane Asfaw later explained: Do you know why he is feared by his colleagues?  If there is something wrong in the science, he will not be diplomatic. He will just tell you straightforward – this is totally wrong. Most people will never say that and try to dodge the issue. Even if they are going to control his resources and deny him grant money, Tim will say, “Forget it, the guy is wrong. If we don’t tell him it’s wrong, it is like disseminating false information.” That is why most people hate him. He is not nice to bad science.
