Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Never before has a turtle turtled this hard. Zoom in and appreciate The Foot

A fantastic painted turtle stands on a snag in a stream. Turtle has a smooth black carapace with bright red edges. Its neck and legs are a glorious riot of yellow racing stripes. It has its neck fully extended staring at the sky and the back right leg and foot are completely extended. This is an epic pose by a creature at the peak of its powers.

"Crops chase sunlight, so roofing a field with panels ought to starve them. Yet plot after plot came in with more fruit, not less, & the plants looked healthier than the ones baking in the open. Stranger still, the shaded rows did it while drinking far less water." energiesmedia.com/solar-panels...

energiesmedia.com

American farmers slid solar panels over 62,000 acres of farmland, and the biggest payoff had almost nothing to do with electricity

Long rows of solar panels march across the desert, and underneath them, where the ground should be baked and bare, there are rows of green.

Sometimes I find funny graphics, and I just drop them in a folder for some future science activity. I think I should just make a whole thing about "bad graphics." Just found this old image!

This is so funny to me. People suggesting robots could replace teachers have probably never met a teenager before. Or maybe, the fact these are built on s3xbot frames might make students pay attention.

Happy 100th, Mel Brooks.

The Woman yelling at a cat meme, but the woman is now Gene Wilder's Dr Frankenstein ("Fronkensteen!"), his friend is Terri Garr's Inga, and the cat is now Igor ("Eye-gor!"), who is sitting behind the table with a big smile on his face. The table in front of him is taken up by a large glass jar with a brain in it. The label on the jar reads: "DO NOT USE THIS BRAIN! ABNORMAL". For the sake of argument, the massive hand resting on the chair behind him belongs to Peter Boyle's Monster. Although Mel Brooks does not personally appear in this image, it would not exist without him.

Microscope image of osteocytes. This is one of my favorite mini-labs. After students learn about bone tissue, we take the last 20 minutes of class to view bone tissue under a microscope. You can see the osteocytes in concentric circles with the Haversian canal in the center.

This is great! The ribosomes are so boring, and just hang around the cell, kanoodling with the endoplasmic reticulum. This is definitely something to add to their resume. Now to write a case study based on the nature article!

Algae is a familiar foe. All the engineers to fix the pool, but did no one talk to a biologist about algae? My fix: Release the snails!

A story in four parts. 😭

Text reads chem test today, I’m prepared to cheat on the whole thing. They’re already in the classroom and it seems too late to stop them from cheating.

They’ve decided to cheat with ChatGPT, saying: “Hello chat, I’m going to upload four pictures and a couple of minutes (they probably meant in.. omg 😭) I need you to give me the answers for every problem, do not explain how to get the answer, just show me the answer and the slight work for it if it needs it. If it’s an ABCD question, immediately give me the answer.”

ChatGPT replies: “Got it” and gives them the instructions back in full and tells them to go ahead and upload the images.

They got their test back, their result is an F, who could’ve seen that coming right?

This text to ChatGPT reads: Chat let me know how I got an F.

ChatGPT: You probably got an F, because many of the answers I gave you earlier were wrong.

It then proceeds to show them the correct answers from the test.

My favourite grasshopper fact: Grasshoppers first appeared on the planet 250 million years ago. Grass did not appear on the planet until 40 million years ago Imagine it: 210 million years, hopping around on any random surface you can find, waiting for the grass that will make you truly yourself.
