Unapologetic leisure, a strong argument that these creatures have the right idea about work life balance. Gloomy Friday in Seattle. #wildlife #photography #PNW guy #CA #priorities

A short‑eared owl drifting over the Skagit fields is one of the most extraordinary sights in the Northwest. Every winter these owls return to the Skagit area, turning open farmland into a stage for some of the most graceful hunting flights in nature. #owls #PNW #birds #photography #wildlife #skagit

bioRxiv continues to grow – a brief spike and lag in the pandemic (details of which are included) but a steady increase in submissions since then. % revisions, license choice, etc. all fairly constant. 0.1% withdrawal rate is comparable to journal retraction rates 2/n
As I hauled myself upstairs this morning, I wondered what my ortho would do if he got to try my body on for size for a day. Like would he then believe me when I tell him how much it hurts, even if I don't show it?
Based on this I think he'd collapse in a puddle: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Red foxes at Friday Harbor, blending into the island’s fields and forests with their bright coats and curious personalities. Though not native, they’ve settled in over the years.

This osprey has been out here practicing interceptions all morning.

Last year, this spot was full of eagles.
Today, there were only a few raptors—and just one Steller’s Sea Eagle 😭🪶

Caught this elegant Eurasian Spoonbill at Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary in Mysuru. Ranganathittu never disappoints. Every visit feels like stepping into a living postcard, and moments like this remind me why it is a paradise for birds. #birds #pnw guy #photography #wildlife #india #mysuru

Spotted this California acorn woodpecker at the Asilomar conference grounds 🪵✨
Caught it mid‑pose with an acorn in its beak—hard at work adding to the famous “granary trees.”
Always amazing to watch these birds in their element. #birds #CaliforniaNature #photography #woodpecker #pnw guy

Single‑nucleus RNA/ATAC profiling of neonatal leukocytes during cardiopulmonary bypass uncovers a powerful inflammatory signature.
Exciting mechanistic leap forward for understanding shear‑stress on immune cells & improving outcomes in neonatal cardiac surgery. #immune
During winter, Oak Creek Wildlife Area hosts its daily elk feeding at 1:30 p.m., drawing an impressive 400 to 800 elk down from the hills. Visitors can watch safely from the viewing areas, take rides for a closer look, and enjoy the help of many knowledgeable volunteers. #elk #pnw #photo #wildlife
