Continent formation may have set the stage for life on Earth

Long before forests, fish, or even single cells, Earth may have needed something as unglamorous as growing continents…

"Jennifer Macalady is a #microbiologist who studies biological interactions between the limited resources that were available on #EarlyEarth: water, atmospheric gases and rocks. Her research takes her to some of the most hostile places for life on Earth, in search of the #microbial #biofilms that can survive there. Her most recent #expedition was to three lakes within Italy's #Frasassi #cave system"

Hiya Mastodon,

Re- #Introduction time! I'm Ash, a stop motion animator of wildlife and paleontologist.

In the last year I moved from Australia to France and to Mastodon from my ex Twitter handle @aela_wild.

With the move I renamed my business to StudioWild. So far it's a better fit :)

Now that I'm set up, I post about natural history and share my mixed media art. I'm looking forward to getting to know my new landscape and all the weird wild animals and places in between.

If you're inclined, my animations live on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@studio_wild
