You already know that flamingos eat shrimp (and that's why they're pink!) but have you ever thought about HOW they eat shrimp? Read about tiny underwater tornados in my new comic with @snexplores.bsky.social: www.snexplores.org/article/flam...

Illustration of a flamingo with its beak in the water, fishing for shrimp. Text reads "A Flamingo's Spin on Dinner. Written by Sofia Caetano Avritzer, Illustrated by JoAnna Wendel."

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...

What would mermaids look like if they evolved in different parts of the ocean? First we've got our deep-sea mermaid with her translucent tail, weird long fingers, big eyes and bioluminescent lure #sciart #illustration #comics

Illustration of a mermaid that evolved in the deep sea. She's got big eyes and teeth, long fingers (one with a bioluminescent lure), reddish skin and a translucent tail.

Gonna try posting more. If you're a scientist/science writer or science artist, give me a shout so I can follow you! In the meantime, here's a cover I illustrated for the August 2024 issue of Science News Explores @snexplores.bsky.social

Photograph shows a stack of magazines called Science News Explores. On the cover is an illustration of a young girl flying over pink mountains and a green river. It's the illustration to accompany the cover story, called "Journey into the Dreamscape," about lucid dreaming.

Reminder: Your friends want books for the holidays. Lots and lots and lots of books. You also want books. You should probably buy yourself a book while buying books for your friends. Bored? Read a book! Got a wobbly table? Fix it with a book! Missing shingle? Nail in a book! Gas leak? You can <boom>

It's Thanksgiving! Are you getting your eels ready? It's tradition! The 1st Thanksgiving included a big table full of eels. And it's fitting. Tisquantum brought eels to the starving pilgrims that spring to celebrate their new treaty w/ the local Wampanoag tribe. 1/5 🗃️🧪

B&W drawing of the 1st Thanksgiving, showing a table full of vegetables and eels. In the center are a pilgrim man, dressed in black and white, with a silly hat and giant collar. He's holding a bowl of grapes, and looking incredibly disengaged. Standing with him is a Native American man, with feathers in his hair. He's not wearing a shirt, but he is wearing several armbands. In all, he looks far more comfortable. He's reaching for a grape, or pointing at one as if to say, "This one has the poison."

Behind the Native American are several others, fading into the background. Behind the pilgrim are two figures, presumably his wife and kid, and couple of houses with thatched roofs. The wife, carrying a basket of apples, has an uncertain expression on her face. It's likely that she's checking out the half-dressed man in her yard, and thinking about how her husband doesn't stack up so well.

On the table in the foreground, in pride of place, is a plate piled high with eels. NOW it's a feast.

The other night I was high and watching Secrets of the Zoo (my all time favorite show) and it struck me that elephants and rhinos should be reptiles. I know they *technically* have fur but come on. How is that skin different than a turtle
