we have PrEP because of these monkey studies. animal welfare in medical research is extremely strictly limited and regulated to ensure ethical use. there is no replacement for these animal models in biomedical research.

Okay, on reflection I am slightly relaxing my rule on "only human-made art". ...Oh, no, I'm still not supporting genAI art, but I *will* be allowing art made by bears

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the SBS seminar from @robwilsonmncn.bsky.social , looking at over 20 years of butterfly data. In Spanish mountain ranges, cold specialised species are going locally extinct and are being replaced by warmer habitat species #UniofAberdeen #Biology #SciArt

lest we think that tenebs are the only beetles who like to get weird with it, here's the brentid weevil Calodromus with his signature defensive move (stick he leggy out)

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Leicester has long been one of the leading universities nationally for palaeontology & geology - this would be a terrible loss, as would the loss of other subjects such as modern languages: www.change.org/p/save-geolo...

Morning folks! Finished this as part of my daily warmups. Here's a lil thread with different shots and colourways Osteon MarroRider Type A Osteon specializes in lab grown biomechanical vehicles www.artstation.com/artwork/vb6b8d

for a while i assumed the showa/heisei eras of godzilla and kamen rider were referring to toku directors who were so influential they commanded entire eras of media production but no dat's the emperor of japan lol

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical. You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

nostalgia is a scam invented by big new to sell more old

Nice 3-year teaching+research postdoc at NYIT! careers-nyit.icims.com/jobs/4126/po... The human anatomy teaching experience is tremendously valuable; for people in our fields (e.g., morphology, biomechanics, palaeontology) it opens up great faculty job opportunities! And the NYIT faculty are great.

randomly looked up black tupelo and realized i live on the very edge of its range. it's native to a very large region for sure but it still doesn't exist in the majority of the world (unless it's a popular ornamental idk). fun to recognize that staples of your own life are not nearly universal

In love with these Crane Wizard Monks I feel compelled to draw sometime, unless you beat me to it. Found in an issue of RSPB Magazine: "Carers dressed as Cranes take part in a predator aversion training exercise."

Made some nesting wooden owls!

I wish we, like, regulated shit nowadays. Between car bloat, blinding headlines, and neighbourhoods packed with rental suites but no on-property parking, driving is an absolute nightmare now.

"But there is a humility to using gar as a yardstick, as these are long-lived animals. You do not rebuild a century-fish’s prospects in a single season. That is why the team keeps returning, and why this story is still being written." They're like LOTR elves. 🥹 SingGAR or VanGAR, perhaps.

I need "Stats are down but he played great" to make it into the lexicon.

Is this wolf using a tool to get a seafood snack? Or does it not count, because the animal didn't construct the trap itself? @phiejacobs.bsky.social dives into that debate, plus more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

Micrargus herbigradus palp, taken using the new 'washer on a slide' method - dab of gel, palp, topped up with alcohol. Much clearer, you can't see the gel, and the 'curly appendage' that makes it herbigradus is visible amongst the curls of the embolus. This is slightly enhanced in GIMP.

This morning, there was a public hearing at Bessemer City Hall in Alabama to discuss the zoning of a new data center, which would likely cause the extinction of a newly-discovered small endemic fish, the Birmingham Darter. Best of luck to the fish people. abc3340.com/news/abc-334...

are you also as sick of seeing AI generated posters/flyers/etc in public as I am? I made some Big stickers about it and will be selling packs of them at future shows 🫶

a cool thing that happened is ppl destroyed a remnant prairie at Rockford Airport. While the rusty-patch bumblebee foraged there, there was no proof it *nested* there. So 💥 Publications only had proof they nested in forests This paper would have saved the prairie link.springer.com/article/10.1...
