Shared the above link before realizing that the original quote came from this CBC story, I stand corrected

Suckerfish are diving headfirst into unsuspecting manta rays' rear-ends | CBC Radio
Suckerfish, it turns out, are not always the most considerate travel companions to their manta ray hosts.

Biologist @flammanglab.bsky.social at NJIT studies remoras & had some thoughts on their butt-hitchhiking (a hyphenate I've never typed before, but biology is full of surprises), saying that it might be because remoras are territorial & coprophagic (poop eaters) but mostly they're just big weirdos 🧪

Suckerfish Are Disappearing into Manta Rays' Rear Ends. Researchers Say They’re ‘Just That Weird’
Suckerfish, also known as remoras, have been observed diving into manta rays’ rear ends seven times over the past 15 years.

Find out more about JEB's new article type, Theory & Modelling, allowing scientists to publish research leveraging modelling and theory to address new biological questions, in Sheila Patek, Monica Daley, Matt McHenry & Sanjay Sane's Editorial journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...
Screen shot of the top of the first page of the Journal of Experimental Biology Editorial, JEB launches a new article type for theory and modelling studies, written by S. N. Patek, Monica A. Daley, Matthew McHenry and Sanjay Sane. The first sentence of the Editorial reads: JEB recently launched a new article type called Theory & Modelling.

#Education resource! Over the years I created this collection of colored skull #3Dmodels for teaching. They're available to download on MorphoSource & to view on Sketchfab. Because of recent changes to Sketchfab, I migrated them to my website: www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/work/colorso... (1/3)
A screenshot of a website displaying 8 colored skull models of amphibians and reptiles, along with buttons that will allow the user to navigate to 3D models for each skull.

A criticism I've seen of Bluesky since the Great Migration has been that lots of scientists have joined, but many of the Black scientists who made Science Twitter great hadn't. This week so far, @misselasmo.bsky.social and @official-bweems.bsky.social joined! Please don't be assholes to them.

It’s not like any big deal grants are due in 2 days right????
NSF systems are down for extended maintenance so if you have a grant due in a couple days it’s time to panic.Screaming opossum AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
