🦋🇨🇦 A tiny monarch butterfly tagged in Winnipeg has reached Mexico after travelling 2,300 km in just 40 days! CBC Manitoba is following 29 endangered monarchs fitted with miniature trackers to help researchers protect migration habitats. Have you spotted monarchs this year?

Received my Birds Canada 2027 calendar. Love October's Black-billed Magpie taken by @saskajanet.bsky.social Such a striking and interesting bird that sticks it out with us through the long cold winter.

Texas/OK announcer just said “Hollywood Smothers the Running Back” and it sounded like a cautionary tale about transitioning from athletics to acting

Betelgeuse rolling on a shopping bag while Atlas looks on in disbelief at the foolishness as he stands on a shopping bag like a reasonable and self-respecting cat. #Caturday

Two grey cats on a light green linoleum floor, one standing on an orange reusable tote, the other rolling on a black CSC conference tote. The corner of a red tote bag is also visible.

We are about 6 months away from my book, RESONANCE & RADIANCE, being released into the world. (April 13th, 2027!) RESONANCE & RADIANCE is a narrative nonfiction book about spectroscopy—the field of science that studies how light interacts with molecules. I want to share this book’s origin story 🧵:

Always an exemplary use of alt-text for beetle moses's comics - they tend to work well to ensure no-one is left out of the joke, but they also quite often deepen the joke by the way they capture the details and the mood of the characters and situations in words

This year's #NobelPrize in Chemistry was awarded for research which helps chemists make just one of a molecule's pair of mirror images 🪞 It's useful in making medicinal molecules and gives insights into why biological molecules are formed from single mirror-image building blocks 🧬 #ChemSky 🧪

Infographic titled "The 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry," awarded to Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai for discovering non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis. It explains chirality, comparing mirror-image molecules to left and right hands. A diagram illustrates Kagan’s 1986 discovery of using metal catalysts with mixed chiral molecules to trigger non-linear effects. Another illustrates Soai’s 1995 discovery of autocatalysis, where starting with a small chiral excess rapidly amplifies product purity up to 99.99%.

Today is #WorldOctopusDay 🐙 Did you know that octopuses have blue blood? This graphic looks at what makes it blue, as well as other blood colours seen in different organisms: wp.me/p4aPLT-Fc #ChemSky 🧪

Infographic on the chemistry of the colours of blood. Human blood is red due to haemoglobin, which is also red when deoxygenated - not blue! Spiders, crustaceans, and molluscs including octopuses and squid have blue blood due to haemocyanin, which contains copper instead of iron. When deoxygenated, haemocyanin is colourless. Some segmented worms, some leeches and some marines worms have green blood due to chlorocruorin, which is light green when deoxygenated. Marine worms including peanut worms, penis worms and brachiopods have purple blood due to haemerythrin, which is colourless when deoxygenated.

"Seemed a curiosity at the time" Basic research at its best. We really don't know what's going to have legs. Do something fun and interesting and bizarre. Fund LOTS of work that is fun and interesting and bizarre.

In honor of the now-fired (seriously, what the fuck) Oriole Bird, please enjoy the greatest piece of Orioles-related art that will ever exist

4-panel cartoon of the Oriole Bird, mascot of the Baltimore Orioles

Panel 1: A weirdly humanoid bird wearing a baseball cap and holding a bat says "Hello. I'm the Baltimore Oriole!"

Panel 2: The Oriole hits a baseball, saying "I love to play baseball"

Panel 3: The Oriole is bending over, looking back over his shoulder toward the viewer, saying "All my bathroom stuff comes out of one hole. My cloaca"

Panel 4: A closer view of the Oriole who is looking straight at the viewer. The Oriole says "THEY SAID I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO
TALK ABOUT MY CLOACA BUT WHAT CAN THEY DO, KILL MY SON?
IT TURNS OUT HE WAS JUST A BEACH BALL PAINTED WHITE. NOT A
REAL EGG AT ALL! I TRULY AM THE LAST OF MY KIND!"

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

As we join the great theoretical scientist, he is deep in thought. So still, quiet and focused that he might almost be asleep. But inside that brilliant mind, what new idea is forming? What certainty is being meticulously interrogated? What ingenious theory is ready to change our world forever? (the scientist snores lightly) Ah, it seems he actually is asleep. And that's fine. Science is hard and not every day can be a success. We will come back another time.
