#microCT scan of the left palpal bulb (male copulatory organ) of a grass spider I found wandering Beckman's hallways last week! 😍(He was on his last legs when he was preserved for the scan). Taken in the Microscopy Suite of @beckmanillinois.bsky.social and rendered in the Visualization Lab.

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard members to Portland over the governor's objections.

This decision reinforces one of our country's core principles: The military has no place policing our communities.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Is #icanhazpdf a thing here? I'm looking for "La base de données GICIM: Gestion informatisée des collections ichthyologiques du Muséum". FishBase cites the book's 3-page appendix II for size data, but there's no data at all in there. I suspect they're throughout the whole book...?

Mahmoud Khalil, Back Home Cooking his mother’s maqluba recipe, the Palestinian activist describes his detention in Louisiana: losing fifteen pounds and a cleaning contest with pizza as a prize, Dan Greene writes.

Since being released on bail, Mahmoud Khalil has been enjoying everyday activities like cooking homemade meals and spending time with family.

No matter how hard the Trump administration tries to punish him for his speech, we'll always fight to keep Mahmoud together with his family.

Trump and Republicans would rather shut down the government than work with Democrats to lower costs and protect health care for working families and cancer patients.

More chaos and more pain for the American people.
