I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

Yes to this — unsweetened chocolate on top is the best way to temper the sweetness! And since I was born in Nanaimo I should get an extra vote, right? (I’m also a Bird’s Custard girl.)

For the eleventy billionth time: Attacks on science funding and science jobs in the United States don’t mean that science will just move elsewhere. It means a lot less science for everyone. There aren’t enough jobs or funding everywhere else )combined) for US scientists to just move.

Great thread about these beloved Canadian pencil crayons. I still have nubs around with my name written in the white label space.

Great—although somewhat concerning regarding its pandemic brewing potential—story from recreational epidemiologist @judeisabella.bsky.social And who knew there was such an animal as a genet? What a beauty. www.biographic.com/aardvark-bur...

I was just talking about this with friends last night! Thinking about all those old (well, “old”) letters, ledgers, and diaries written in cursive I’ve used in my work. No doubt there is, or will be, some work around—but it helps knowing how to write cursive to decipher it.

This massive #pyrocumulous cloud is towering over #PortAlberni right now. A result of the Mount Underwood wildfire burning out of control just south of the city. @cheknews.ca

I grow a lot of shiitakes, on logs on my land Appreciate how easy & rewarding they are & don't 'naturalize' in North America, their spores literally refuse to germinate here for some reason no one knows But these oyster #mushrooms which people grow *do* invade our forests & it's not a good thing:

Huge news! Having spent a while studying #kiwi pukupuku, this got me very excited. Finding a remnant mainland population of LSK is probably more significant than finding more #kakapo. Huge respect to those involved and particularly the hunter who found them. www.doc.govt.nz/news/media-r...

Excellent! Something I’ve always wondered about.

Enough of you asked me about this that I wrote some brief thoughts on Ocean Ramsey's particular brand of pseudoscientific nonsense. I believe this addresses almost all of the frequently asked questions I receive, but as always I am happy to answer serious questions asked in good faith. 🧪🦑🌎🦈
