I think it’s probably safe to say the Nobel is off the cards for another year.

I called earlier and left short messages and will send this now.

I forgot it was #FossilFriday! Here are some Anomalocaris* bits 🧪 *I think the mouth is Peytoia - I didn't read the signage today, but iirc the display covers the patchwork discovery of the weird shrimp

I love these Ediacaran frond animals 🐡🧪

I'd like to draw your attention to the accurate cloaca on this bronze Psittacosaurus at the Peabody Museum 🐡🧪

It’s a new year and maybe consider starting it strong by simply sharing artists efforts and helping them get seen this year. Shares can make a difference in art getting seen over any other nonsense that’s about getting angry clicks. So share cool art for cool art sake.

A few more photos from the drone over Northchurch Common this afternoon as the sun poured beautiful golden light over the treetops. The berries are amazing this year. Note the crown shyness on the 3rd image - normally seen from below :) #Berkhamsted #DronePhotography #DJIMavic3Pro

Good year mates. we'll bloody see you in the next one Luv ya

2025/2026! This busy crystalscape emerged from a solidification of the amino acids alanine and glutamine from a water solution. This visage would fit on a sunflower seed, a reminder that beauty runs deep and in places and on scales that we cannot usually access. Happy This Year/Next Year!

My brother’s gift to my sister was an Apples to Apples/CAH–style game where players match movies to Letterboxd reviews and I’m pretty sure he deserves the MacArthur

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #BranchingOut i.e. bird(s) on branch(es), and I have the most relaxed sploot on a branch by a raptor, or maybe any bird ever. 🪶 📸📸 🌿🖌️ #Nature #Birds #Photography #Jungle #Safari #EastCoastKin #Raptor #RelaxingRaptor

Calling all space artists! Only 1 day left to submit to The Art of Planetary Science (it’s free). All the details in the link.

I've just done my third all-nighter in...eight days? I have lost all sense of time and gone slightly mad

Whatever it was, I ate it

I'm sharing this because sharing an NYT story about this outweighs my dislike of the publication. We have known for months because of data outside of Japan that this year's flu season was going to be bad but we have an HHS secretary that hates vaccination and so voila.

Safe to say, the cockatoos had a lovely Christmas! And a surprise white Christmas too ❄️ ⛄️ I honestly don’t mind aviary duty on the holidays, the enrichment is a lot of fun (well also @labellejoel.bsky.social does most of the real work 😉)🎄🎁

I know one of you has to have a billionaire’s phone number, $1m to save one of the best fossil collections in the country is a bargain. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/s...

Replaced a couple of my workhorse brushes recently, and the specs are...not the same. These are supposedly the same size. The old one's worn down a lot, but not *that* much 😆

This is my wife's favorite photo of mine from 2025. She convinced me to include it in our photography club show and sale and it's one of the photos that sold.

This strikes me as just a way to let LLM in the door over at SFWA. You do not a survey to craft a no generative AI policy.

Hey, fellow evolutionary biologists: If you support trans rights, like, comment, or repost this. I want to show that transphobes like Richard Dawkins are a loud minority that does not represent our community

#ArtAdventCalendar day 18 is one I believe I’ve featured here before. From June of 2024. Still one of my favourite manis - this one is known by my nail friends as my “Priders” mani. For Pride spiders, naturally.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Spooky sauropods, you say?

Art is constantly making choices

Stay safe out there y'all

I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me! bit.ly/4aiUIKQ

Are these the same companies that told us the robot could do it?
