The Leaf Sheep is a 5mm sea slug that steals chloroplasts from algae and keeps them alive in its own tissue, photosynthesizing sunlight into food. Only a handful of animals on Earth can do this.

Cinema evening #die-wilde-nordsee in #Bremerhaven was an exciting experience! Loved the #scuba diver's perspective - North sea is just as sexy as the tropical seas. The cameraman and the narrator Peter van Rodijnen, though very different from David Attenborough, was a passionate undewater guide.

#CitizenScience with #scuba diving! 🌊🤿 Over two days in #Lesvos, 18 divers surveyed 3 dive sites, in 2 locations, collecting valuable data on rocky reefs, macroalgae, sea urchins, and fish as part of the Marine Forest Days Event, organised within the @cambiomed-biodiversa.com project.

The sea surface temperature in the Bay of Brest with see a 10°C increase in just one week. The usual summer temperature maximum is somewhere around 20 °C, and is normally reached in August. One of the most studied coastal ecosystem in the world, turned into a hot marine stew. shorturl.at/Sg8ss

🤿 Snorkelling Britain guidebook authors Emma and Gordon Taylor have just launched an ambitious interactive map showcasing British snorkel sites and snorkelling providers. 👉 The map’s launch arrives as BSAC reports a surge in interest, with around a third of new enquiries relating to snorkelling.

Makes me want to be there. In the forest. Beautiful shots ♥️

Omg, brilliant! ILTMBG

The eyes of long-spined porcupinefish are quite the sight, as with most nocturnal fish. In the shallow coral reefs where they live, the corneal iridescence significantly increases their visual range as they hunt for snails, sea urchins and hermit crabs under the cover of darkness.

Two weeks ago, the Hungarian opposition was bracing for a false flag operation, an "emergency" that would allow Viktor Orban to turn the tide or even cancel an election he is losing. Now it appears to have arrived

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

Several years ago, on a whim, I started drawing a map of an eel's life travels as seen by the eel. I figured an eel thinks about its life as a linear journey, rather than a there-and-back again adventure. So I wanted to do a map to reflect this. This morning, on another whim, I finished the map!

This is gross. And a reminder that your farmed salmon facilities pump antibiotics *directly* into water bodies. 💁‍♀️

How did the creature not dehydrate on the way? Did the crew discover it and supply it during the crossing? Did it get sea sick? Bored? Did it miss terrestrial smells? Did they check its social accounts on arrival? So many questions... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Last year I was thinking about taking an ice #diving course. Instead, it turned out to be the Polar research diving program in Finnish Lapland. A challenging week in which ice diving under 80 cm of ice in -25°C was just the top of the iceberg. Photos by Steffen Scholz and Pata Degerman #divesky

❄️ Six days under water, in darkness and freezing cold. After a Russian missile strike flooded one of Kyiv heat and power plants, DSNS divers worked in icy water (air temperature to –15 °C) to restore heat and power for thousands of families. An act of courage that kept the city warm.

For this year's #25DaysOfFishmas we're going to go in roughly chronological order, from the oldest lineages of fish to the present. We're kicking off, then, with a truly ancient and utterly bizarre animal - this is the Queensland Lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri.

I recently came across this image and it’s a great way to summarize how I feel about my work. Whether supporting other consultants through resources or referrals, or supporting people in their data management work, helping to lift other people up benefits us all.

Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp.... genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

As an #rstats user, I am proud of my #python brothers and sisters for standing up for their community. It's a shame they won't have these resources, but community is and always has been what makes a language great. Today the python world stood up for theirs pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-...
