Celebrating a Detective Beans birthday (by @exocomics.com). My wife crushed it with the cake, and he’s now solving a Beans-esque mystery

Love this #HKAM26 drawing by my son. Apparently ice cream preference is a huge topic at the Hallownest hot springs 🤣

Ryan! We just checked the first issue out and sang the song at the same time. But alas, there’s a typo at the end of the song (no more “where there’s a city crime-torn”). In the immortal words of Galactus, “the fate of your world now rests in your hands!” *Also, super exciting news!!!

So excited to have @matthewcobb.bsky.social join our Hacking Inheritance class today to discuss gene-editing, including the science, the history, and the ethics! Highly recommend this book for all those interested in diving into this topic!

Yesterday at the #NYCC Marvel X-Men panel, a science graduate student asked about where they get their accurate scientific information for writing the comics. @jedmackay.bsky.social immediately said, I ask Marvel’s residence science expert… @ryannorth.ca I have to agree!

Enjoyed this little factoid about non-reflective moth eyes and improved solar panel technology from Naturally Curious this morning with the family. I never knew about this! Did you know about this cool overlap between our worlds @billmckibben.bsky.social?

TONIGHT at 9:30, I see if I can livestream the joys of blacklighting for @sciantsmedia.com in celebration of #NationalMothWeek. Can I do it from rural Vermont and my WiFi extender moved to the back window??? Only time will tell! www.twitch.tv/sciants_stre...
