Curious if anybody out there has *diverse* cladoceran DNA they could share? Like, we have Daphnia and Ceriodaphnia in hand but want to capture as much diversity as possible for an upcoming assay. Besides, Bosmina are so cute.

A little Bosmina longirostris, I always thought they looked like tiny elephants.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

In my latest for @undark.org, I compare AI adoption in science to the Ship of Theseus: "If you swap out every wooden plank on a ship over time, is it still the same vessel?" I argue that science derives authority from something more than data generation + publication. undark.org/2026/09/25/o...

No shit Sherlock. WHen the GOP cuts 5 million people from SNAP (and counting), and the cost of groceries keeps going up (through inflation, tarrifs and corporate greed), OF COURSE more people will go hungry and the food banks will be swamped with new demand. The GOP wants poor and working class dead

In case you were curious how similar the Great Egret and Great Blue Heron are in size, these two lined up perfectly for comparison. Apparently it was a desirable fishing spot #birds 🌿

A large gray heron stands in shallow wetlands, looking down towards the water. A large white after stands behind it in almost the same pose they are very similar in size. The heron’s beak is bigger and chunkier.
