Pakistan's endangered Indus River dolphin population has grown to nearly 2,000 individuals, prompting the creation of a new 400-km protected corridor. Safeguarding the species long-term will require modified barrage operations and community-led sustainable fishing. Fellow Muhammad Talal reports.

Pakistan expands protected habitat for Indus River dolphin as recovery offers hope
Between 11 million and 16 million years ago, during the high sea levels of the middle Miocene period, the ancestors of the Indus River dolphin entered the muddy waters of what is the Indus Basin today...

Why learn science? Because lots of things can seem like a big scary conspiracy theory when you don’t understand how the world works! Empower yourself by learning about facts and evidence and reality. As a bonus, it’ll lead to a healthier and more prosperous society for others around you.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

The problem with education is that it's a solved problem. Students need small classes, individual attention, lots of writing, lots of feedback, access to a well-stocked library, time to think, and time to talk with their peers. We just don't like the answer, so we keep trying to do other stuff.

I think New Zealand has the most beautiful money — both aesthetically & because each note honors a native bird: Hoiho/Yellow-eyed Penguin ($5) Whio/Blue Duck ($10) Kārearea/NZ Falcon ($20) Kōkako ($50) & Mohua/Yellowhead ($100). Are there any other beautiful currencies you think can compete with NZ?
Colorful $5 $10 $20 $50 and $100 notes with paintings of birds on them sit on a wooden table.

So many of the norms underlying academic culture relied on frictions associated with writing. It was entirely predictable that academia would be profoundly harmed when a machine came along to remove those frictions by making (insincere, inaccurate) communication effortless.

If you read the replies you’ll see that Pinker was always a race science supporter, it’s just that nobody paid any attention. Maybe we should start noticing when celebrity scientists are fans of pseudoscientific ideas, and adjust our opinion of their competence accordingly

🐍Mexican vine snake (Oxybelis aeneus). Max size 190 cm (~6'3"). Mildly venomous. Arboreal. Found from the southernmost part of Arizona (USA) in the north to Brazil, Ecuador and Peru in the south. Considered Least Concern by the IUCN. 📷by Wietse Jongsma on Unsplash

Donald Crabtree was a master flint-knapper & a subject expert in traditional stone-shaping. On two separate occasions, he fashioned obsidian knives to be used by surgeons operating on him: a partial lung removal & open heart surgery. Let's talk about the how & why of obsidian blades!
Description:
A photographic slide of Don E. Crabtree flintknapping with obsidian while seated inside.  He's wearing a violently 1970's outfit of red hawaiian shirt and burgundy pants.  He holds a piece of rock in both hands, but admires the knapping work he's just done.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Egg Nebula by Hubble. Processed by @Tho_Carp www.flickr.com/photos/19746... 🔭 🧪
This Hubble Space Telescope image shows the Egg Nebula (also known as CRL 2688), a preplanetary nebula with a distinct, bipolar structure. The image is dominated by a bright central region, shaped like an elongated hourglass or butterfly, with luminous arcs and knots emanating outward. These structures are created by the high-speed stellar winds and jets ejected by the dying star at the nebula's center. The object glows with a cool orange and white hue, speckled with bright points of light that are likely background stars and dense knots within the nebula. Dark, dusty lanes are interspersed within the glowing regions, adding a stark contrast to the intricate and dynamic structure of the nebula. The entire scene is set against the black backdrop of space, emphasizing the isolation and brilliance of the nebula.

One of my favorite rainforest finds (and favorite photography subject), a juvenile Yellow-headed Calico Snake (Oxyrhopus formosus). The whitish nape fades to almost black as the snake reaches maturity. NE Peru. #herps #snakes #NaturePhotography 🌿
An angled-down side view of a deep red snake, facing left in a loose coil on a green leaf background. Each scale of the snake is bordered in black, producing a net-like pattern over the entire body of the snake.  The head is a progression of colors - orangish-yellow at the tip of the nose, gradually darkening to a reddish orange at the eyes, then changing to a creamy white collar at the nape of the neck.  The eye is deep red with a black pupil.

🟣 Today my mind blew learning that our human brains create the appearance of purple. The colour purple doesn’t exist physically, it’s a “nonspectral colour”. It’s created in the mind of the human perceiving the lack of green. There are no purple photons.

A giraffe weevil (Trachelophorus giraffa) from east-central Madagascar. This cool creature wouldn't stop moving , so photography was kinda like running alongside a car and shooting. A tiny red car unlike any other cars.... 🌿 #insects #invertebrates #InverteFest
A most unusual weevil poses on a green leaf. The wing covers on the abdomen are a brilliant ruby red, while the rest of the insect is shiny black. The thorax is angled to point up, and then the long, twig-like neck angles down to the horizontal - between the neck, thorax, and abdomen, there is a distinct bend in the animal's body. The head is small and two long antennae with reddish tips point forward in a wide V shape.

A White-bellied Reed Frog (Heterixalus alboguttatus) from near Ranomafana, Madagascar. Also called the Starry Night Frog ❤️ A species I had hoped to see on my visit, and I saw exactly one. This one. #herps #NaturePhotography #FrogFriday
A frog in center frame, viewed from the side as it clings to a twig, diagonally with its head looking up to the upper right corner. The frog's belly is a stark white, and its back, head, and limbs are all black and covered with bright yellow oval spots.  The eye is the same color as the belly, with a black pupil.
