JOIN US!!! @garlab.bsky.social is looking for a PhD and MS student to join our team studying ecology & conservation of gars, bowfin, and other non-game native fishes beginning Spring 2026! Posting & more info coming soon. Please DM or email [email protected] with CV if interested!

AOC is quite on point with this.

Alright I have a question for *all of you*, esp for those of you who are not into environment stuff. When you think about planting native plants in the area you control, what *prevents* you from taking that action? These could be emotional, financial, practical, anything. RTs appreciated here.

Is your community or organization thinking about sharing your story through interpretive signs? Learn more about the process and how to do it well with a little bit of professional help in this free webinar that I'm hosting next week. - May 22, 2:00 pm CDT. 🎨 3common.com/event/680bc0...

We're hiring a plant pathologist! Looking for someone w/passion for diagnosing vegetable diseases & communicating results to clients. There's lots of other duties & opportunities. I also think it's a great lab 🤔☺️ jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/215... @quesadalabncsu.bsky.social @plantdisease.bsky.social

@aislinnde-ath.bsky.social Happy birthday!

@emilietalpin.bsky.social Welcome to Bsky, Emilie! A great many biologists and nature photographers are here.

Yesterday, I suddenly had nearly 100 new followers. Most appear legit (= science & photography), plus a handful of the usual uninteresting ones (which I blocked). Anyone else? Any idea what happened?

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #125,933!

Finally got to use my shiny new Canon R5 Mark II + EL-5 flash + AK Diffuser! Still working on focus-stacking with it (this image isn’t focus stacked)

I'm throwing this out to the universe: I want to paint another mural. I love telling stories through images and I finally have room in my schedule to take on another one. I realize this would be a big undertaking, but if you know anyone with the budget and need, please send them my way. 🌿🎨

@canonusa.bsky.social Hello. Preordered the R5 Mark II. Are its manuals available yet? I'd like to look up some things. Thank you.

Related to previous posts: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spay & neuter your pets. In Los Angeles, about 250 kittens are born for every human. Shelters are having to euthanize dozens of kittens a day, which, among other things, is creating a major mental health crisis for shelter workers. FIX THOSE CATS.

If you want to learn more about inverts, Cri does a nice job with her Crawlies posts.

Worm fact: When threatened, a sufficiently large earthworm can eject its buttjuice with enough force to hit a sitting human adult in the face. Source: Personal experience

Want some terrific science art? Follow my friend!

@gailsimone.bsky.social So great to see you (again) at WonderCon today!

@nature-bird.bsky.social looking forward to these beasties to return to my area!

Since we're doing the owl thing again here's your reminder to not post photos and art that's not your own, unless it's public domain, creative commons or you have permission - and always post the credit.

I’m helping out a small town newspaper that includes lots of wildlife articles and photos. I could use your help reaching their fundraising goal. Every single share and donation makes a difference. t.co/uljiRzDPUm

Hey @dabunnee.bsky.social , I happen to be wearing a certain comfy shirt…

Bsky just got more awesome. @alexwild.bsky.social is now here!

Hi bluesky! I finally fully deleted my Twitter, so I'm going to have to lean on other websites, including this one, to promote my jewelry shop. Shares really, really help me. https://www.nora.jewelry/

Hi @socalleslie.bsky.social . Pretty sure we have the same stomping grounds. I’m in coastal OC. When @jencross.bsky.social comes out here again, you should hang with us

Glad you’re here too, Janet!

Cri is on BlueSky! Greetings!
