We're getting together in Philly to create art. Why? For community & GOOD. I'll provide all the art supplies you'll need & a little inspiration on what you can create art about. We hope to create art that inspires action. Art is great at that, even if you think you're bad at it luma.com/w8v2xk5i

A possum in a beret with a paintbrush screams in front of a canvas with a possum in a pile of leaves. The words say bad art for good an art + community event and the possum is saying “make the world better with art!” And free beer snacks and art supplies, and Indy hall November 10th 6:30

I love science. I’m having so much fun.

Absolutely excited to announce that my first scientific paper has officially been published! You can officially check it out from my ResearchGate page :D. Enjoy! (sorry it's on worms and not my usual squids :( it's still good ole invertebrates though!!!) www.researchgate.net/profile/Aust...

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Today in the squidmobile I had: - 1 gaggle of drunk girls - 1 family - 1 man crossing a long cross walk - 1 single person in a car all honk for squid. The people of Philadelphia are in a GOOD. MOOD.

Science IRL decisions went out today! We were able to fund 13 of the 77 proposals that were submitted. They are communicating science in stage productions, boxes at bus stations, interactive frog statues, musical performances, farmers market tables, backs of cars, knitting clubs, and much more.

Made this illustration highlighting some of the tissues in octopuses a year or so ago. It’s still one of my favorite things I’ve done 💅 🧪🐙🦑🐡

Photo of two prints. One black and one pink, featuring a blue octopus and 4 illustrations of some highlighted tissues like their brain, nerve cord, esophagus, and mantle. Header text reads “tissues of the octopus”

I try not to talk politics because it leads to nothing but chaos... but I am so MAD at the United States for allowing Donald Trump to do all the things he is doing. We should NOT be pulling out of WHO... we SHOULD keep DEI initiatives... We should NOT be pulling out of the Paris accord AGAIN.

Absolutely exciting to get to venture and work in my first ever museum collections! Delaware Museum of Nature & Science... our Brachioteuthid fun begins tomorrow!! Technically today... but it was only for thirty minutes! Also got to see my favorite (second) cephalopod up close! Vampyroteuthis!!!

Vampyyroteuthis infernalis "Vampire squid" in a jar

Entry to the museum with giant squid ceiling fixture... massive!

Brachioteuthis squids have these extremely long necks as paralarva, which give them a very goofy appearance.

A photo of a Brachioteuthis paralarva at night. It is transparent and blue, and it has a long neck. There are some orange chromatophores on the squid.

Ha... my Masters project originally included Chaetogaster! Until we found out that my collaborator accidentally told me and another lab to do it, and he forgot😅. Easy fix! And Dr. Bely and co did a fantastic job finding MANY new species in this family... 24 mostly cryptic species!! From 3 -> 24!

So do I have any awesome people from the Washington DC area that might want a fun squid roommate for 5/6 days in January? Can provide some cash, squid facts, and just general fun :D

Sending the best and warmest of wishes for a quick and safe recovery for legendary squid biologist powerhouse Mike Vecchione. There are very few people that are at the top of the Cephalopod ladder, but he definitely is. Get well soon Mike!!

Also totally random! I'm thinking of doing a whole cephalopod themed podcast! Still in the beginning works of creating things so I don't know how long that will take... on top of a massive trip the next 3ish months. What would y'all like to see discussed? #Cephalopod #Squid #Octopus #Nautilus
