@mlb.com thinking “what is an efficient way to lose the most fans in one fell swoop?” Absolutely disgusting that MLB would propose to defile one of our national parks just to make some more money.

How animals sense Earth’s magnetic field is one of biology’s enduring mysteries. Researchers have now identified superparamagnetic macrophages in the livers of rock pigeons (Columba livia) to be crucial for magnetic sensing. The finding uncovers an unexpected role for immune cells in sensory perception and may fundamentally change our understanding of animal navigation.

#TwoForTuesday: #Crab & #Fish by pioneering Japanese graphic designer Hisui Sugiura (杉浦非水, Sugiura Hisui; 1876-1965) from Hisui Sosaku Zuanshu, 1926, a collection of designs created after his studies in Europe. National Diet Library Japan: www.ndl.go.jp/en/imagebank... #JapaneseArt #GraphicDesign

digital scan of a page from a design book, with multicolor illustrations of a crab (top) and fish (bottom) each framed in an octogonal shape

"Hisui Sosaku Zuanshu is a collection of creative designs by graphic designer SUGIURA Hisui (1876-1965), who was a pioneer of modern design in Japan."

"This is a collection of designs created by graphic designer Hisui Sugiura. It was published in 1926 (Taisho 15) after his studies in Europe. Hisui's design collections, including 'Hisui Flower and Bird Designs' which is listed in the NDL Image Bank, went out of print after the Great Kanto Earthquake. This collection was created to supplement those collections, with Sugiura gradually drawing and accumulating designs. It features new motifs that reflect the results of his studies in Europe, such as bold diagonal lines and compositions that place figures within straight lines."

Project Hail Mary is a beautiful brilliant film. But molecular biologists be warned there's a deeply disturbing scene midway through when Ryan Gosling's scientist places two eppendorfs directly next to each other in an otherwise empty unbalanced microcentrifuge & sets it spinning with wild abandon.

One of my favorite jokes of all time is "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide" being a tiny headline under the banner story about a hare-vs-tortoise race ... in 1943, two years before Hitler committed suicide. He was alive and well when the Warner Bros. cartoonists made this joke.

Screenshot from "Tortoise Wins by a Hare," a 1943 Bugs Bunny cartoon. It's a newspaper front page, banner headline:
HARE RACES TORTOISE TODAY
Further down the page, near the fold, is a much smaller headline:
ADOLPH HITLER COMMITS SUICIDE

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition

The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away

What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse

The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable
