My biggest ick? Unnecessary consumerism. The more I've done to avoid buying unnecessary the more eagregious people buying stupid shit feels. "But I want it to look good" you're buying glass jars for spells to look cutsie when you have 4 expires salsa jars in your fridge. Clean them out and use those

I will never grow tired of watching these small guys just go about their day. Gave them a first offering of bee pollen and it was a hit! Definitely a fan favorite.

I was in awe and absolutely starstruck to stand in front of the Pentaceratops at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History

A picture of a Pentaceratops skeleton posed with a plaque and a certificate from Guiness World Records for being the largest land animal skull ever discovered. It's skull is about 10.5 feet from frills to beak.

A close up of the plaque and Certificate. Plaque gives info on the Pentaceratops. It was discovered during WWII but was lost to time during the chaos of the war. It was reexamined 50 years later and is now on display .

It may be surprising to some that there are thousands of undescribed species just sitting in museums awaiting description. One of the main reasons this problem exists is that taxonomy is undervalued and underfunded, a trend that coincides with the devaluing of studies on natural history.

He is surrounded by pea plants specifically coloured to be reminiscent of a Punnett square with mauve flowers on the top, left and right, and bottom left but white flowers on the bottom right.

Had the opportunity to go see the Selenite Salt Flats in Cherokee Oklahoma this week. It looks straight out of fiction. Getting to dig for hourglass selenite with the whole family was such a treat.

A panorama view of the Selenite Salt Flats in Cherokee Oklahoma. Clear blue sky and flat salty desert as far as they eye can see. A car parked close by to some grassy dunes on the edge of the flats.

A picture of the flats. Salty flat ground meets perfect blue sky. Nothing else in sight.

A collection of selenite crystals dug up at the salt flats. This is a geographically specific type of crystal called Hourglass Selenite due to a hour glass formation in the middle of most specimens .

Some isopods curl their bodies into a ball to mimic flowers, and some others are decorated with little flowers. Pastel colors convey a soft spring atmosphere.

Saw a fragment of the mid Holocene fossil forest at Portreath yesterday, revealed by winter storms and low tide. Impressive piece of truck on organic-rich clay filled with sticks and seeds. Probably 4000-6000 years old. Drowned when sea level rose following the end of the last glaciation.

A fossil tree trunk exposed on the beach at Portreath. Me for scale crouching on the sands. Whole trunk is several metres long.

Close up of the fossil tree trunk exposed on the beach at Portreath. Grain of the wood clearly visible. My finger is pointing to the underlying clayey paleosol, filled with organic matter, sticks, seeds etc.

Close up of the clayey paleosol containing sticks and seeds. Modern beach sand all around.

Neanderthals cared for their own. 🤝 Fossils like "Nandy" from Shanidar Cave (severe injuries, long-term survival) show incredible group compassion & altruism. Debunks the "brute" myth & highlights deep social bonds in ancient societies. #Paleoanthropology #Neanderthals #Empathy #SciComm

Jellyfish sleep, which is already bizarre given they have no brains. DNA damage accumulates in their neurons when jellyfish are awake, and it gets repaired when they sleep. This might be something fundamental, evolutionarily, to the role of sleep. 🧪🌊 Link: nature.com/articles/s41...

a,b Average sleep time during 36 h under LD in C. andromeda (a) and N. vectensis (b). White, black, and red horizontal bars represent light, dark, and SD periods, respectively (C. andromeda: ZT17-23, N. vectensis: ZT20-ZT4). c, d Sleep time accumulation of the previous 12 h (sliding average) in C. andromeda (c) and N. vectensis (d) during 36 h under LD. Black arrowheads indicate sampling time for the DNA damage assay presented in (i–l). e Confocal z-projection of a C. andromeda rhopalium and adjacent peri-rhopalial tissue. White squares mark representative single nucleus in the mesoglea. Red asterisk indicates rhopalium. Scale bar 150 μm. f Confocal z-projection showing the mOrange-positive endodermal nervous system in tg(-2.4NvElav1b:mOrangeCAAX) N. vectensis. White squares mark representative single neurons. Scale bar 100 μm. g Representative images of cells in the peri-rhopalial tissue of C. andromeda sampled at ZT11, ZT23, and the following day (Day2 ZT11). Nucleus stained by DAPI (gray), and γH2AX foci (magenta) are stained using immunohistochemistry. Scale bar 4 μm. h Representative images of γH2AX staining (magenta) in mOrange-positive neurons (green) of tg(-2.4NvElav1b:mOrangeCAAX) N. vectensis sampled at ZT17, ZT8, and the following night (Night2 ZT17). Nucleus stained by DAPI (gray). Scale bar 2 μm. i, k Normalized number of γH2AX foci per nucleus of control and sleep-deprived C. andromeda under LD. i Control: Day1 (n = 24, 1.00 ± 0.64), Night (n = 22, 0.55 ± 0.55), Day2 (n = 26, 1.31 ± 0.63). k Sleep-deprived: Day1 (n = 27, 1.00 ± 1.09), Night (n = 31, 2.11 ± 1.13), Day2 (n = 28, 1.42 ± 1.12). Values are mean ± s.d. (n=rhopalia from 8-10 animals per time point).
