This is what 100 mosquitoes look like theconversation.com/hundreds-of-...

Hundreds of hungry mosquitoes, a student volunteer and a mesh suit helped us figure out how these deadly insects reach their targets
Analyzing 20 million recorded mosquito flight paths revealed the mathematical rules behind how these tiny predators move and zero in on their human targets.

Look. At. This. (!). A fungus spore landed on this weevil. Grew inside and caused it to climb to the top of this plant- while the fungus killed it. Consumed its body. Used that energy to shoot up a red fruiting body to release more spores. To zombify more weevils. A mind controlling killer fungus.

“This trabecular bone is highly anisotropic with trabecular orientations reflecting the mechanical load distribution along the limb” very interesting . I didn’t know bone could grow like that

I know you all know this, but apparently it needs to be said that basic science is a NECESSARY PRECURSOR to translational science

A figure is worth a thousand words-- especially true for scientific papers. Great article by double major in journalism and biology @mckennasweet.bsky.social . Thanks to @kaytrue.bsky.social for getting me into the UW Daily!
