Fun fact of the day

Michael holds a BA in Biology with a minor in Philosophy. He likes to spend his free time hiking and defending science, though not usually at the same time. Contrary to popular (but not scientific) belief, the positive and appropriate perception of science is undermined by religion, alternative medicine, the U.S. education system, and most science journalists.

That’s just weird.
I learned it on a special about mastodons on NOVA. From what I could tell, they lived in forested areas alongside mastodons.
Another fun fact: “mastodon” means “nipple tooth”.
