I'm trying out BlueSky. I used to be really active on Twitter a few years ago.
I've gone through so much since I was on Twitter, but it's amazing to see that so many of the scientists like who I used to follow over there are still doing #SciComm here.

NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.
Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.

Long John, the one-eyed Goffin is a large and rather dominant male in one of the Singapore groups. He has no trouble navigating through the canopy or strategically displacing pigeons from his feeding places. We think he is beautiful! - pics from Singapore with @theroesa.bsky.social
25.09.2025 05:07 — 👍 25 🔁 6 💬 0 📌 0Highly recommended! I just finished a cover-to-cover read, and it's a great addition to the avian sensory ecology literature with excellent discussions of the links between brain & behavior. I prefer reading paper books (better retention) but the whole thing is freely downloadable! bit.ly/482xPZm 🦉🧠

Meme. Photograph of a Monopoly board game in Dutch. You're looking at the starting corner, seeing 2 squares in either direction. The board is edged in red, but fear not. It's only red paint, not blood. A blood-edged board would be a far darker shade of red. And a far darker game, over all. Meme text reads: "Who wouldn't be Nervous?
Let's talk eels & colonization!
In the early 17th C. London was growing fast and needed more eels.The surrounding countryside couldn't provide enough.
The Dutch importers could...but the English were nervous of the strong Dutch monopoly.
So where did they look? Ireland. 1/5 🧪🗃️
Meme. Painting of two eels in the water. They are yellow, and so is the background, so it's unclear if these are yellow eels, or eels seen through a yellow filter. They don't much care, I would guess. One is looking to the left, and one is looking back over its metaphorical shoulder to the right. Neither is looking at you, and I think that's a choice. You should maybe spend some time thinking about why, and then try to move forward and live your life as the sort of person that eels would want to look at. Meme text reads: "Weir gonna climb Right over your dam"
Let's talk about eels & dams. 'Cause dams are a problem for eels now, but they haven't always been.
Eels can live out of water for a while, & travel overland. Young eels climb up & around small waterfalls as they migrate. And so many medieval dams weren't a problem for them. 1/7
