While at The Arboretum, @uofguelph.bsky.social, I came across this beautiful moth caterpillar of _Hyalophora cecropia_ (Saturniidae). Enjoy!

A poster that reads "Can Ecosystem Services be entirely replaced?" with a quote from a Biomimetics 2025 publication: "If we are to avoid a post-climate apocalyptic reality, researcher from various disciplines, artists, community knowledge holders, creative thinkers, and strategic problem solvers are called on for innovations and technologies to help the world prepare and mitigate risks"
A call for bio-inspired technologies!
🪱 A teaspoon of soil holds more life than there are humans on Earth—yet <1% of biomimetic studies focus on soil. Time to change that.

Hi, I just got this message from PeePee's campaign (🤮). I don't know how they got my cell number or if it is legal. Help me out with a witty response so that hopefully, #PierrePoilievre leaves me and the rest of Canada the f*ck alone. Thank you!

I hope Canada, Australia et al are looking at the belligerent hot mess that the United States has become and take preventative measures.
This could happen to any country that fails to control disinformation, allows Rupert Murdoch to publish, etc.
