For those that could use a feel-good story from across the pond. 🇬🇧 #UK #Britain #England
Used ChatGPT to make this. I find Greenland sharks fascinating! #Greenland #sharks
I used to think Trump would talk about Greenland simply to distract from other things he'd done or was doing. In light of recent events, I worry he's serious about acquiring Greenland. Depending on the method used, that could bankrupt us or destroy NATO, endangering our security. #Greenland
Much like his boss, another insecure man who can't take criticism and lashes out with his government powers when he receives any kind of rebuke, no matter how warranted it is. #health #CDC #NIH
It's interesting how Trump wants to make enemies of all the countries doing the right things, especially in Central and South America. #sharks #conservation #biology
Remember, wild turkeys almost went extinct. The only reason we still have them is America's strong belief in conserving our natural resources. We must not let the powers that be convince the public that the only way to economic security is to change that. 🦃 #conservation #wildlife #turkeys
They've gone after everything else, now they're coming for seals, whales, and polar bears. #ocean #pinnipeds #seals #cetaceans #whales #dolphins #biology #ecology
I love the tactic... it gains attention and accentuates the nonviolent nature of the protesters! 🐸🦈🐼 #Oregon #Portland #protest #amphifa
Sad that this is happening, and even sadder that it's not the 1st time. #NationalParks #shutdown
I'm glad the makers of Tylenol aren't taking this lying down. 💊 #Tylenol
This is why, in spite of the fact that people have been made aware of the importance of planting milkweed in our yards, monarch numbers continue to decline. 🦋 #monarchs #conservation #insects #biology #science #pesticides
I want to extend a thank you to my governor for doing what he can to keep us safe. I feel like Newsom is perhaps the only governor who is effectively shielding his constituents from many (though obviously not all) of the effects of Trump's harmful policies. Also, his social media game is 1st-rate.
Instability and uncertainty aren't ideal conditions for scientific inquiry. We need to move back to our previous position of both trusting scientists and reliably funding them. ⚗️🧪🧫🧬🔬 #NIH #health #medicine #science
Of course, instead of ramping up efforts to fix the problem, they ramp up efforts to protect themselves from being held accountable for not fixing the problem. 💧🧪😡 #pollution #environment #water #chromium
I'm grateful for growing up in a golden age of public television. 📺 #PBS
For slow-breeding organisms like sharks, programs like this are extremely important. #sharks #biology #science
Got my 'Siam Red' Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema) to flower! 😁 #houseplants #plants #flowers
A few pics from a recent trip to the Central California coast, including Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, and Edna Valley. 🏖
It's sad that even in California, which arguably has some of the best environmental policies in the whole country, species like the white sturgeon are still going extinct. #biology #science #fish
It's unclear if jaguarundis are actually back in Texas, but if they are, they would probably be safer crossing the border back into Mexico. Between the rabid hunting culture and the defunded wildlife agencies, Texas is not a safe place for them. 🐈⬛ #wildlife #ecology #biology #cats
This is a disaster that will further weaken our ability to predict disasters. ⛈️🌪🌀 #climate #weather
Cal Fire is getting a handle on this 80,000+ acre fire, but those National Guard troops, currently wasting the taxpayers' money and sullying their reputation in Los Angeles, could have been really useful in stopping the spread sooner. 🔥 #fire
New tank setup... smaller than the previous one, but more stylish and more stable. #aquariums #tanks #fish #fishkeeping
Fortunately, the eagles have returned to the nest. However, there was no guarantee of that, & the officials that greenlit the show knew that... residents of the community made it clear. Yet, in spite of representing ecologically-minded folks in an ecologically sensitive area, the show happened. 🦅
Wow, 6 feet tall... that's huge!
First hibiscus blooms of the summer. 🌺 #nature #flowers #botany #hibiscus
