one of the rarest moments to witness when monitoring bird nests is the moment a chick fledges from its nest - it's all over before you know it, and you gotta be super lucky to record it. Here's the adorable exact moment a superb parrot chick makes the leap into the unknown 😭💚💚👋

'Golden Dome!'
$161 billion dollars to go toward space-based interceptors!

A major challenge (imo) in post-grad education is learners arriving with poor writing/reasoning skills. There's little time at this level to meaningfully address deficiencies there. This is why the gen AI disruption of education worries me. Our sector is moving painfully slowly to face the challenge

Ever wondered how an elephant's rumble compares to a kitten's purr? Both come from vocal folds, but #elephants use long, loose folds to create deep sounds—more like singing than purring. There's still a bit of mystery in their magical voices. Read more: globalelephants.org/elefact-frid...

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

Every time we are "surprised" by an ancient civilization's advanced prowess doing X or Y, we should think about the era of knowledge destruction in which we currently live and meditate upon how many times in history we must have been set back, defunded, erased, sabotaged, and coopted.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

now *this* is the anecdote of the day
While many Chinese businesses are reeling from the trade war, Qi, the Maga merchandise maker, brushed off any suggestion his might suffer.
Trump supporters, he said, were willing to pay any price for items bearing the image of their beloved president - and US suppliers were making such a huge profit on them that they could afford to partially absorb the tariff impact.
A Trump baseball cap, for instance, cost only Rmb7.50 ($1) to produce. Tariffs might raise that cost to Rmb2o, but the caps were being sold for $50 in the US.
"American sellers could even use the tariffs as an excuse to raise the price to $60 - yet the extra cost will still be borne by the US consumers,
" said Qi.
