Henlo!!

Studies like yours can bolster such cases, so thank you for biting the bullet and releasing the preprint.

Do you know if the residents have contacted the Center for Biological Diversity? They have environmental lawyers on staff who have a decent success rate with well-timed suits, especially if there are enough residents/parties in the area who are willing to provide "standing".

Oh, this is so going in my biostats class in the spring...

This arrowhead orbweaver was pretty cool. She literally ate.

Yyyyyyyyup. It's her all right. 😅Ms. Thang making me do paperwork #JoroSpider

I teach biostats once a year and the shark students are an absolute delight.

I know what it is. I'm just letting myself live in denial for just a bit more. Guess I'll file the report tomorrow. *sigh

Manifesting this now!! I'd be a fashion icon.

I'm at the symphony for the Stardew Valley Symphony of Seasons, and I feel very underdressed... because I'm not in a chicken suit. 🐥

Congratulations to our champion, Paramecium aurelia! Won the popular vote AND the petri dish smackdown. See you next semester for the rematch!!

Yes please!

Indiana Daily Student to restart printing, university reverses decision The co-editors-in-chief of the Indiana Daily Student, the student newspaper at Indiana University, said that the University has reversed its decision to stop the print editions of the paper.

The young journalists at the IDS stood with me during one of the darkest times of my life. As an alum, I stand with them. May they always speak truth to power. They may never know whose lives they save when they do.

At first Murdoch was NOT pleased when we brought home a kitten... but he quickly realized he could train her. First lesson was on proper play technique.

Now if I could just get him to do his Fart Dance on camera ...

Gabe knows his animal sounds!! What animal sounds should I teach him next?

You can have a slide about superficial neuromasts, as a treat.

A female Photuris firefly devours a male Photinus firefly

#Inktober2025 Day 23: Firefly
I recently learned that female fireflies in the genus Photuris will mimic flash patterns of females of other firefly species (such as Photinus), lure in males of those species, and then devour them. They're sometimes called "femme fatale" fireflies.

I used to take care of the "buttonquail" at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. They were so TINY scurrying around the butterfly house. I'd like to keep a few someday. #Inktober
