A striking Avocet mid-stride, its long, slender legs stepping gracefully across the damp ground. Its black-and-white plumage stands out against a soft-focus green backdrop, while its distinctive upturned bill gives it an air of quiet confidence...a picture of elegance wading through your scroll.

Ooh, lucky you! An Avocet just stepped into your scroll! 😍

a, PXRD patterns of CDR material after 2–7 weeks. b, SEM-EDX of CDR material after 4 weeks. c, TGA-MS of CDR material after 7 weeks. For a–c, CDR material was kept wet by periodic addition of water. d, Infrared spectra of CDR material after 7 weeks under wet and dry conditions and olivine after 6 months under wet conditions. CO32– peak at around 1,400 cm–1 is observed only for CDR material under wet conditions. Scale bar, 100 μm (b).

2024 In Review - Bluesky It’s been a big year for Bluesky! Let's take a look back at everything that’s happened in the past year.

What a year! Bluesky opened its doors just last February. Since then, we opened federation, launched video, rolled out trending topics, and a whole lot more.

Happy New Year, and here’s to a great year ahead! 🎉

Mendel’s other brass microscope with a silly little hat on it, this one has a tassel

as a Big Nerd I have to tell you I went to Mendel’s abbey to look at his peas but the most notable part is actually the little hats he made for his microscopes
