Small hummingbird perched on a branch, tail fanned to show yellow-orange feathers, iridescent green back, red bill, and soft forest background.

I warned everyone. More Blue-throated Goldentail

Magic flora Philip Garnock-Jones has spent more than a decade photographing our native flowers as they’ve never been shown before: in luscious, three-dimensional detail.

Remember the Magic Eye books of the 90s?? Now, you can have a crack at viewing New Zealand’s native flowers in 3D. Clematis, orchid, ngutukākā, korukoru, oioi… this is a luscious, spectacular feature by @rebekahwhite.bsky.social, based on the new book He Puāwai by @theobrominated.bsky.social

my lab has moved to @iubiology.bsky.social! We're getting the #newlab set up here and excited to interact with @iu-cisab.bsky.social, @bdsc.bsky.social, and more! I'd love to hear from prospective lab members, especially prospective PhD students, postdocs, and technicians. more info: saltzlab.com

Requirement: a love of the outdoors!

I remember hearing about someone who would go into a bar and sit down and ask the person next to them if they could name a scientist. Two most frequent answers were Jane Goodall and Carl Sagan.

Ok Susana. Here’s a Charadra deridens that I encountered on my way home.

I have an inordinate fondness for pelicans.

Sea urchin metamorphosis is maybe one of the most radical event in developmental biology. In just about an hour, these little pluteus larvae completely reorganize their entire body plan.

Very happy that this video got awarded an honorable mention by #NikonSmallWorld 😃

IU Biology Professor Jay Lennon is standing outside in front of leaves.

Microbiology societies from 5 continents have launched the first global strategy to harness microbial science in tackling climate change.

IU Biology’s Jay Lennon is lead author of the paper, co-published in 6 leading scientific journals.

Congratulations, @jaytlennon.bsky.social !

Question: how many beer gardens are there in Berlin? Maybe we will find out!

Indiana University offers 2 NIH traineeships in reproductive diversity, focusing on sexual reproduction and development across species. PhD in relevant fields required. More info: https://reporter.nih.gov/search/tkwkKtadrUm6rFCBMUaEnw/project-details/11137703. #postdoc

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage.

When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig.

Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?

Lobelia!

Wow, this one rivals the mantis that looks (and moves) like an orchid flower.
