@stephenbheard.bsky.socialReposted by @asn-amnat.bsky.socialWhenever I give an interview, I ask how long a piece the journalist is aiming for. Then I TRY to keep myself to reasonable length....but I often fail, because nature and science are SO COOL. Thanks @elisecutts.bsky.social for making me feel better about it!
