Post a photo of an animal that looks Gen-AI but is 100% real.

Hang Time is pretty early - 1988 - the band’s major label debut on A&M records. Definitely worth a listen. As is their other A&M album, “And the Horse They Rode In On”

Yeah, that stretch of records from 1988 to 1995 was spectacular

What’s your “how can one album have so many bangers” album

We are thrilled to announce the first official release (v0.1.8) of #𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗿, the successor to one of our flagship tool, #𝗯𝗲𝗱𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀! Based on ideas we conceived of long ago (!), this was achieved thanks to the dedication of Brent Pedersen.

Snowy morning! ❄️

“You will be visited by three spirits.”

The three spirits.

Mammoth singer & guitarist Wolfgang Van Halen - a bearded man wearing a short-sleeved flannel shirt – playing a gold top EVH SA-126 guitar and singing into a microphone. The screen behind him is displaying colored lights. In the foreground, an audience member is also taking a picture of Wolfgang.

Photograph of a concert stage with Mammoth band members Frank Sidoris, Ronnie Ficarro, Wolfgang Van Halen, & Jonathan Jourdan performing. At the back of the stage is a screen with colorfull concentric circles & white polka dots and a low wall of EVH 4x12 speaker cabinets. The audience is in the foreground.

Mammoth guitarist Frank Sidoris – a man with curly dark hair wearing a black leather jacket, ripped jeans, playing an olive green Gibson Firebird – is throwing a guitar pick into the audience. The pick is visible, mid-air, near Frank's right shoulder.

Zoomed in photo of three people's hands, each holding a guitar pick (one green, one black, & one blue) with the Mammoth logo on them (a stylized letter M with an oval around it).

Drove up to Green Bay last night to see Mammoth - they performed an amazing rock & roll show! 🤘

Anyone have a csv of the Kew C-Value database? I want to remake this figure but looks like website won't let me just download all values anymore. cvalues.science.kew.org/search/angio...

Ted Lasso, Severance, Silo, Slow Horses, and The Studio are all great.

We are currently advertising two #PhD projects to study the #evolution, #development and #genomics of sexual traits in stalk-eyed flies.

Deadline for applying is Wednesday, January 7, 2026. Get in touch for more info!

Looks like Anolis distichus (bark anole).

Hell yeah! Best advertisement for strap locks ever! 🎸🤘🏻

So excited for the latest edition of “Evolution: Making Sense of Life” by @carlzimmer.com & Doug Emlen. Students in my evolution class regularly tell me it’s the best textbook they’ve had in a college course.

New paper out in @devdynamics.bsky.social on lizard lung development!

Immunofluorescence of mouse, anole, and chicken lungs showing epithelium in green and smooth muscle actin in magenta

New preprint from my postdoc work! Using fluorescent imaging, scRNA-seq, and ATAC-seq of mouse, anole, and chicken embryos, we provide evidence that birds have co-opted vascular smooth muscle to generate the pulmonary smooth muscle in their lungs. More on this later!

Cover of time magazine featuring a confident mayor Daniel Hoan in 1936

friendly reminder that socialist mayors governed Milwaukee for nearly half a century from 1910-1960

during this time Milwaukee achieved milestones such as being the healthiest, safest, and best-governed city in America

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

The Passing of the Tree of Life Web Project The Tree of Life Web Project began its journey almost 40 years ago, and was formally announced in early 1996. It has served thousands of pages of information about the evolutionary tree of life and…

The end of an era: the Tree of Life Web Project is going dark after 3 decades. Anyone interested in communicating phylogeny online should read David's account of goals, history, and future. @bembidion.bsky.social

A green gecko with red, gold, and blue markings staring directly into the camera. The gecko is a gold-dust day gecko (Phelsuma laticauda).

I'll also be looking to recruit an MS student to study the functional morphology and biomechanics of adhesion, friction, and/or locomotion in sea urchins, geckos, or anoles! Please share! @sicb-dcb-dvm.bsky.social @sicb.bsky.social

Logo for the Garner Lab for Animal Morphology & Mechanics which includes a crashing wave, a sea urchin, a leaf, and gecko above the logo for Florida Atlantic University which features a burrowing owl graphic. The two logos are surrounded by a day gecko, a green sea urchin, and a brown anole lizard.

I'm excited to announce that my lab is moving to the Department of Biological Sciences at Florida Atlantic University in January next year! Can't wait to join amazing new colleagues and be able to run outside year round to work with lizards on campus and sea urchins at the FAU Marine Lab!

Hi, herpetologist here. Just a quick note to folks in the comments… the word you’re looking for is cloaca. Cloaca.

This was legit the best cereal ever made.

A scientific figure showing speciation and explaining the concept of species delimitation, and including a quote by the paper's first author.

Check out the recent publication in Annual Reviews of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics where the authors explore genomic species delimitation in depth. You'll see a number of #sciart figures I created to help explain some of the concepts!
