not enough people talk about the "period and two spaces" to "lol" pipeline lol

Our society is dominated by people who believe we MUST be bound by our biology, and who also don't understand the first thing about biology (race isn't biological, gender factually is a spectrum, vaccines work and don't cause autism, etc., etc.).

This is so freaking cool. 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

When the smoke coming out of the Vatican is black and white checkerboard:

4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel

🚨 Cool new project alert 🚨

WE- you, me, everyone- need to work together to get important science messages out to people.

4 artists & 3 scientists collab'd on these posters. We hope YOU will put them out in your community. Each poster comes w/info about each topic.

I keep hearing
that these empty ports mean
that all of us are about to
“go through some things,”
and while I am worried
about shortages,
the reason I am truly frightened
is that this pandemic
has taught me
that when all of us
“go through some things”
many of us do not survive.

A circular illustration of 19 colorful different species of invertebrates across various phyla (arthropods, cnidarians, echinoderms, sponges, mollusks, annelids, flatworms). Black arching text surrounding them reads “Celebrate Invertebrate Biodiversity”. They are illustrated on a light blue background.

Happy #Invertefest! Celebrate invertebrate biodiversity 🐛💕

0. Vought, Vance, Rufo, and those attacking academia see scientists as bureaucrats—in the most pejorative sense of the term—who they can "put into trauma" and drive to quit.

They don't understand that science is not just a job. It's a vocation, literally, in the original sense of *a calling*.

A yellow street sign in Japanese with three black flying through the sky. Below is text that says ネコ飛出し注意 (neko tobidashi chūi) Means “watch for cats darting out”

ネコ飛出し注意 (neko tobidashi chūi) Means “watch for cats darting out” and I love this sign.

I see more people flying with their pets these days and I have to wonder who are these people and who are these pets, all my pets are chaos demons and if I put any of them on a plane they would chew straight through the fuselage in order to escape

Me, thinking of the log I brought home that was growing oyster mushrooms: yes

I don't see enough people or reporters talking about the mass terminations of nih lgbtq+ grants that happened yesterday. How can we get the word out so communities understand the huge loss to science, safety, and economy this is??

#taxonomistappreciationDay is today.. and we have not migrated the graphic! So here it is!

A macro photo of a bright orange planthopper nymph on a rock.The nymph has a thick tuft of squared-off, white waxy fibers protruding from its abdomen, making the tiny insect look remarkably like a living shaving brush.

The macro workshop @mhedin.bsky.social and I taught yesterday in Anza-Borrego was great fun. After class time in the morning we wandered the desert for subjects. Among those were these amazing 3 mm. planthopper nymphs which I am calling Shaving Brush Bugs. We found them under rocks. 🐙🌿📷 #insects
