This is really cool! A rabies vaccine, applied as a gel to fur, spreads quickly among bats as they lick and groom each other. That prevents rabies outbreaks in other animals. www.science.org/content/arti...

Happy birthday to #botanist Isabella Aiona Abbott (1919-2010), 🧪🐡👩🏻‍🔬 #histsci renown algae expert, celebrated seaweed cook, devoted teacher & mentor, expert on Hawaiian ethnobotany, 1st Indigenous Hawaiian woman to earn a PhD in science & 1st woman or person of colour to become a full professor on 🧵
Linocut portrait of Isabella Aiona Abbott in indigo on cream coloured paper. She’s facing forward at a table in a shirt and sweater vest with a sheet with algae samples on the table. In my print, she is surrounded by algae of the Pacific, all of which appeared in Abbott's research publications, including several species she discovered, or based on images of specimen she personally collected or whose traditional use as food she documented. The algae are in pinks, khaki green and rust.

Is anyone else new to the Pipa pipa party?!? 🐡🐸🐡 I came across this 18th century illustration of the Surinam Toad (Pipa pipa) – drawn with dozens of baby toads sprouting from its back – and I totally thought it was a historical error. An artifact of outdated science... But it’s real?!? 🧵
Late 18th-century scientific illustration of the Surinam Toad, a fully-aquatic toad native to the tropical regions of South America. It has dull brown skin and a wide, flat body with a triangular head. This appearance functions as camouflage, allowing it to look like a dead leaf or piece of rotten wood floating in the water. The specimen is drawn prone, with its legs fully splayed. It has long spindly toes on its front feet and its back feet are wide and fully webbed.

On the toad’s back, there are dozens of circular wells arranged in a honeycomb-like pattern. They look something like a reverse bubble wrap. With pits or holes instead of bubbles. Tiny toadlets are shown emerging from some of these holes and a few more toadlets fill the rest of the frame. 

Image from The Naturalist's Miscellany (Vol. 1) by George Shaw. (1789).Close up of the previous picture showing the emerging toadlets in greater detail. Toadlets are shown entering and exiting the holes on the toad’s back.

Just want to welcome new folks joining from TikTok! Sorry you lost your habitat! I hope you can find a niche here. Change sucks but just remember that's how new species are created. How beauty and wonder enter the world. 🐡💙📚 ▪Tic Bean (Vicia faba) ▪Tok-Tok Beetle (Psammodes longicornis)
Early 19th century illustration of the Tic Bean, also known as the Fava Bean or the Broad Bean, which grows in wide distribution and is a staple of many diets around the world. It has soft, oval-shaped leaves and delicate white and purple flowers that look similar to pansies. The beans are depicted in an offset to the drawing and shown in different stages of maturation. 

This image is taken from a Japanese agricultural manual and there is a great deal of text to accompany the drawing. The text is in Japanese and there is no translation. However, it likely contains information on the methods used to grow and cultivate the plant.

Image from Honzo Zufu (Vol. 40) by T. Iwasaki. (1830-1844)Mid-19th century scientific illustration of the Tok-Tok Beetle, a species of ground-dwelling beetle native to South Africa. It is black or dark brown and has an elongated body divided into two segments. The Tok-Tok Beetle taps on the ground to attract mates, creating a rhythmic sound from which they get their name.

It was found at the Capodistrias Museum in Corfu on a plant where it hasn't been recorded before. The author of the post is expressing surprise at the colour of the caterpillar because it is usually green. She is also interested in the plant and wants information from anyone who can share their knowledge about the plant or the moth.

But instead of seeing the crown of the baby’s head emerging – as you would expect – there is a tiny baby standing in the birth canal.

They’re all covered in different types of spikes and bumps, looking something like a medieval mace. 19th-century color illustration of nine varieties of pollen. Six specimens are yellow and three are red. Three of the yellow specimens look something like small seeds covered in different pattern of spikes and ridges. The six others look something like highly geometric snowflakes. Comprised of cells shaped like hexagons, triangles, and circles.

#PlantoftheDay TURKEY RHUBARB (Rheum palmatum) TURKEY RHUBARB is native to western China. Its dried roots have been used in traditional medicine for 2000+ years and were heavily traded on the Silk Road. Europeans used them medicinally for centuries before learning what plant they came from. 🐡
Late 18th century scientific illustration of the leaves, roots, and stems of the Turkey Rhubarb. The leaves are large and jagged, taking on an almost hand-like shape with many fingers. The root is thick and dark brown with many offshoots. A cross-section shows that the root is orange, yellow, and white in the interior. When in bloom, the plant produces multiple sprays of small white flowers which are also shown.
