iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I watched "The Amity Horror" way too young and the scene where the little girl tells her mom she was talking to her friend who flew out the 2nd story window and when the mom looks there are two red eyes that then growl at her...still freaks me out thinking about it.

Just saw a comment elsewhere that one of the amazing things about the LOTR films is their depiction of positive masculinity. The men hug, the talk about what the mean to each other, they cry. Oh and they defeat an army of the baddest villians ever. You can have both.

One day I hope to get a movie as good as this (the take down of a corrupt US administration) but about our current times. Given the state of journalism I'm not holding my breath?

I just can't figure out the goal here, given the consequences. The only alternative to explaining this in my mind is mental illnes.

No sure but I'd suspect Aedes albopictus as a main daytime biter that's also suburban. CA still has some pockets of Ae. aegypti so it could be them but those would be in the larger cities.

Just over two weeks left to apply! I may be biased, but it’s hard to imagine a better place to do plant evolutionary biology.

If you get NIH funds at your institution, you will HAVE to comply with these policies. AND these policies will drive ALL of your institutions biosafety policies, even if you aren't getting NIH funding - so if your work touches biology in any way - MAKE COMMENTS ASAP #microsky 🦠

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Its restricted to dense urban spaces at least in the US.

This is somewhat misleading as Aedes aegypti is extinct form most of its historic rage, due mostly to the invasion of Aedes albopictus. Aedes albopictus is a vector of dengue but not as competent due to reliance on non-humans bloodmeals.
