A macro photo looking down into a multi-petaled, yellow flower with a moth in the flower's dark yellow center. The moth has a fuzzy gray thorax and cream-colored wings with pink edging. There is also a very small green plant bug in the upper left, peeking from behind a petal.

Photobombing is a constant problem in macrophotography

(Heliolonche pictipennis moth in the Mojave Desert last weekend; green mirid plant bug going "Oh heyyy" in the upper left.) #BugSky 🌿🐙📷

Mumps is back, but vaccines can prevent it Maryland is one of several states that are reporting cases of the infectious disease mumps, suggesting the return of diseases—like measles—that vaccines protect against

We counted 1500 measles cases as of the end of last month. Guess who else is starting to rear its ugly head- Mumps.

It has been detected in ~34 people across 11 states.

Symptoms show up a few weeks after exposure in the form of fever, heads & swollen salivary glands.

On International Women’s Day it’s great to remember that Grunya Sukhareva identified Autism before Kenner (100 years ago), identified that Autism presented regardless of sex, and that it is a spectrum.

#46: Swordsman

A movie that really understands the inherent appeal of watching lower power Naruto fights. A woman shoots snakes out of her robes and a man draws a line in the sand that cuts people in half. What's not to love?

Close-up photo of a small spider called a Spinybacked Orbweaver.

Some recent nature fun to share: Here's a Spinybacked Orbweaver (Gasteracantha cancriformis). This little spider looks more like a crab. Plus the cephalothorax kinda looks like a Friday the 13th hockey mask🔪🕸️ #nature #arachnids #wildlife www.inaturalist.org/taxa/49540-G...

Nw: Trancers II. I forgot all about this masterpiece. Wild example of age gap 90s relationships and the time traveling hoops you can go to create them. Otherwise incredible.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

@nature.com you claim that Krauss had "no knowledge" of Epstein's crimes until after 2018, but there is absolute proof that he was defending Epstein as early as 2011, after he had already been convicted in 2008

This is documented in the Epstein files and here:

HHS Has Been Using Anti-Trans Language From a Christian Right Think Tank The department refers to gender-affirming care as “sex-denying procedures,” a term coined by the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

SCOOP: The Department of Health and Human Services has been using the term “sex-rejecting procedures” to describe gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary individuals.

The term is not clinical or medical. It comes from a Christian Right group.

A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top.

The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements:

    Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below.

    Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam.

    Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground.

    Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched.

The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.

The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.

Follow along!
