I tried reformatting some old art into TCG size and I don't hate the proportions HMMMM

a collage of 8 bug illustrations in portrait format.

1. ant-like mantises sitting on leaves, wide angle illustration treated like a black and white landscape photography
2. a pink spider with black spots like ladybug, hanging between flowers
3. two dome-shaped round beetles grazing, viewed from a low angle
4. a landscape of stick-like fungi with a big slug looming in the background
5. mantisfly, an insect that heavily resembles mantises, illustrated with ornate pattern fillings in green and gold
6. dead moth with black wings and a skull on its thorax.
7. bee burrowing underground, only the sparkly butt is visible
8. white dragonfly flying above water with its reflection below it

I knew her podcast would be good, Poppy is talented etc etc. But I’m a podcast junkie. I listen to 6-7 dif ones a day, easily. I’m picky. So what a relief to discover that the new Living Biology podcast is not just good, but EXCELLENT. Drawn in immediately, easy to follow, great storytelling. A+ 🤩

Bird on a mission! He was only here a couple minutes, I’m not sure I saw him eat any snacks but he is getting better at packing the beak!! 1- on the patio at the buffet 2- that beak 🤯😂 good job, Ravi 👍 On the fence for a few seconds and zoom #birds Greatest roadrunner San Diego north county

A roadrunner is up on a patio table getting mealworms from a white ceramic bowl. The bird is facing the camera.

A roadrunner seen from behind as it stands on top of a blue metal tube fence. The bird is looking to the left and we see its beak is holding three or four large mealworms that the bird is probably taking back to a mate of baby birds on a nest. The bird is about to fly off of the fence and down a slope.

My wife had Hodgkin lymphoma 10 years ago and a few years later we stayed in a B&B and found this medical book from 1965. It said there was no treatment for her cancer back then and the main recommendation for delaying death was mustard gas with a prognosis of 2-7 years. Modern medicine is amazing.

Descriptions of Hodgkin lymphoma symptoms and treatment form a 1965 medical textbook for nurses.

10 years ago, the wonderful @rheisman.bsky.social gave this advice on Twitter and it resonated with me. I dropped the “aspiring” and took a more active approach to science writing. Soon after, I started writing freelance for a science society. The same science society that I now have a job with.

Two tweets reading:

Just scrolled through the new followers on my account. So many of you have "aspiring" in your bio. Aspiring writer, aspiring #scicommer.

I have maybe a goofy idea? Drop the aspiring! Claim that identity for yourself once and for all.
