I heard that some of you people prefer to receive your snarky science fact-checking of viral news stories in meme format, and I am here to help.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

This is the image of a poster advertising the 42nd Annual West Coast Veterinary Pathology Conference, May 2nd to 3rd, 2025. The title is Great Gonads and Tubular Tales of Reproductive Pathology. Photos of our speakers, Dalen Agnew, Al Conley and Justin Vidal, are included on the poster.

Come to Davis for the West Coast #Veterinary #Pathology Conference, May 2-3! We've got great speakers lined up, and we will have some fantastic cases for you to learn from. I promise it will be worth the trip.

Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea you aren’t working on but keep thinking about

1. Serum 'omics of stranded whales.
2. Utility of longitudinal corticosterone conc. in sea turtle scutes to detect cold stun survival.

This is a species of beaked whale, which is an odontocete (toothed whale). It was examined bc it stranded deceased, so it died & washed up on the shore. The scientists examine it to document the species-specific anatomy and collect samples to determine cause of death & for other research purposes.

I'm definitely not an expert on this species of beaked whale, but my understanding is that they are very deep diving and their habitat is not near coastal areas, so they are rarely sighted/encountered. I don't think there are enough data to derive a population estimate.

Rarest whale mysteries to be uncovered in 'unbelievable' study Scientists met today to dissect the world's seventh known male spade-toothed whale, which washed up near a fishing village in New Zealand.
