Biggest stick insect I’ve ever seen

Kind of cool that I see these in both my house in AZ and in the housing I stay at in Kenya, even if they are not native in either place

I will be naturepostmaxxing to mog @cmikesspinmove.bsky.social the next two weeks

It’s hard to make a living at the top of the world

I’d still like to see more tests in non-passerine spp. Very consistent trend in passerines, less so in others that I’ve seen

The new safety tool my university installed this year doesn’t even allow the user to see what the linked website is…

Find the canyon wren

I build my class around grizzly bear reintroduction in Arizona in large part to force students to think about this

I spent a couple of weeks in rural Nepal in 2016. Barely any electricity in the village, no running water. I vividly remember our host family and their neighbors crowded around a tiny TV to watch WWE wrestling

Society journals are quietly innovating even as MDPI and Frontiers eat their lunch

Please repost! We are looking for two field technicians to work on our deer mouse project in the Colorado Rockies this spring-fall. Learn about physiology, ecology, and evolution, all in one project! Not to mention that you get to be in the ⛰️. Reach out if you have any questions.

You signed it and put it back, right?

SD cards have tripled in price since I last bought them (last year) 🙃

Post Doc Job open with us to work with biologists to build AI models to analyze camera trap data. The specific focus will be to study animal coloration and camouflage, but there will be opportunities to work on other related projects.

Excited to have this one out after over a decade of work. Strong evidence for why migration matters for ungulates.

The thing I think gets lost in this is that the dumb rich kids *are* what makes the fancy schools the fancy schools. The benefit of going to Georgetown isn’t that it has better classes, it’s that you might become friends with a Cheney family friend

The funniest thing was our teach tape was mostly 2012 Shanahan offense because there was no film from the year before, and everyone in the RB room was like “Uh, coach, we aren’t physically capable of moving like Alfred Morris”

I played for Mike in college. Enjoyed playing for him and enjoyed the offense infinitely more than the super basic Air Raid we ran the two prior years

Fundamentals help but also some people really are just built different even compared to other NFL players

Between my phone updating to Liquid Glass and my university email now needing daily sign-in, I’m about ready to join the @bengoldfarb.bsky.social flip phone movement

The Boreal Avian Modelling Centre is hiring a postdoctoral fellow to develop high-resolution, Canada-wide models of waterbird density.

The models will be used as indicators of local wetland health and large-scale environmental change.

Open until filled!

F-47 going to be crewed like a Compass Call, I guess

I’m just a dunce, but won’t the single-seater platform constrain CCA effectiveness? Seems like a lot to put on one crewmember
