A parody of Edvard Munch's the scream of a figure standing on a bridge facing the viewer, screaming, but the figure has been replaced with the close up of a cicada. The background is swirly red.

The academy’s annual budget is ~21 million. The city spent 15 million on a 4th of July concert. This is a matter of political will.

#SciArtSeptember 1: Islet Somewhere in the waves of Barents Sea, a rocky islet acts as a perch for seabirds. Puffins, guillemots, razorbills and skuas are still here, though threatened by heating oceans and spreading disease. With them sits a lonely ghost of a great auk that once roamed these seas.

A simple landscape illustration with a grey-green ocean, a dark grey rocky islet partly covered by orange lichen and a light grey overcast sky. On and around the islet are seabirds of several species, most pictured realistically in colour. The largest bird is a now-extinct great auk, depicted as a semi-translucent white ghost figure.

People in Philadelphia are furious. It’s not just scientists throwing a fit about this. Curious to see how it shakes out.

I just saw some people talking about a topic they’re quite knowledgeable about, and I don’t know much about. Rather than say something stupid, I just kept scrolling and said nothing. This is an option available to you as well!

Did someone say pigeon appreciation? This one had colour shifting pigment on the chest that goes blue-green-magenta, which unfortunately didn't translate in photos. #pigeonsky #birdart #watercolour #pigeon

A photo of a framed watercolour of a pigeon against a blue sky and the written word "pathetic." It imitates an internet meme.

Day 4 of #InverteFest! 🪲 This is Jimbacrinus bostocki, a crinoid from Permian Australia - also the inspiration for the Sentinels from the Matrix! #pixelart #invertebrates #SciArt #paleoart

Pixel art of Jimbacrinus bostocki, the crinoid/sea lily from Permian Australia. It has a feathery end which is held upright in the water to grab particles, and the other end hold on to the sediment below. They have long thin stalk between the sediment and the calyx (wider body) and feather arms. Around is the dark ocean floor with small deposits and detritus in the water around.

Is Silverfish really gone? Nope. A global analysis of indoor silverfish species shows they thrive in human buildings and keep spreading by hitchhiking with cargo. The silverfish invasion may be just getting started. #2026MMM #RIP academic.oup.com/jinsectscien...
