We need to start an AITA thread but science version.

Five years ago Violet went super viral for her protest against wearing a coat. She still feels strongly about the subject.

In case no one has told you lately: 1. You are strong 2. You are beautiful 3. Sea cucumbers have fish that live in their buttholes and eat their ever-regenerating gonads like some sort of sick undersea Prometheus 4. You are deserving of love

help it's the first day of classes and I have a bad attitude

The world is full of shit, but look at Rockalina and her friend❤️

Gonna protest using AI in the classroom by teaching exclusively through interpretive dance

Many thanks to everyone who came to support me yesterday!! #SICB2026

Today I learned from multiple talks that leaf footed bug males will fight each other. What weapon do they bring to the fight? Their spiky thighs! #SICB2026

Coming up this year on the @peculiarbookclub.bsky.social live on YouTube! @laminda.bsky.social (Jan 8!), Matthew Gavin Frank, @hallierubenhold.bsky.social, @janeborden.bsky.social, @biologycarly.bsky.social, @damonyoung.com.au, @meganeaves.com, Eliot Stein, @sadieding.bsky.social, 💙📚 🧪 🗃 1/

Honestly @sarahmackattack.bsky.social is just a sci com genius #SICB2026

Last year was my first SICB conference. Everyone was so wonderfully weird and passionate about their research and animal models, I knew I had found my people! I vowed to be more of my weird self at #SICB2026 so here is me testing that out! My talk is Sunday at 2:15! & I'll have stickers

MBARI created a game called @fathomverse.bsky.social that gamifies identification of animals from the deep sea! Listening to a talk about this super cool work at #SICB2026

Off to be amongst my peeps at #SICB! Lemme know if you want to get together!

Wishing everyone the happiest new year!🥳🥳

They look like I dragged them to JCPenney

Yes I need to grade but the snails are racing!

Has anyone figured out how to be not tired?

I will protect her with my life.

Happy Eat a Dino Day!!

I have a very serious question for everyone- Where are all the squirrels pooping? There are a bajillion of them everywhere...but no poop to be found. I'm perplexed.

Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.) RTs appreciated.

I just learned that cuttlefish ink is being used to create edible batteries and WHOA

How the hell am I supposed to go to work when this is happening in my bed

Just over here practicing telling ICE to get tf out of my classroom....

The Salmon Cannon is one of Science News' favorite books of 2025! Check out all these awesome books! @sho-walter.bsky.social @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social y.social @judithweisenfeld.com @adambecker.bsky.social @dhbaron.bsky.social ky.social @alicelovejoy.bsky.social

Would you like to see my sleepy donkeys?

Ok! I'm gonna social media again! I can do this!

Sorry I’ve been quiet but I have a new man in my life

Derps

Happy first of the month that you realize fall semester is right around the corner and you should maybe think about making your syllabus

YOU GUYS I GOT TO TALK TO HAWKEYE

‼️On Today's @msignorile.bsky.social Show‼️ @owillis.bsky.social of @dailykos.com Author Dr. Carly Anne York @biologycarly.bsky.social @julialurie.bsky.social of @motherjones.com 🔊Listen Here: SXM.App.Link/Progress 📞Join the Conversation: 866-997-4748

BABY GOOSE ALERT

I really enjoyed talking to @biologycarly.bsky.social about her book! Science fun facts are my love language and this book is chock full of them! 🧪

ITS RELEASE DAY!!

Check out the absolute badass initiatives that graduate students are taking to save science!

The reviewer at Science found my writing "too bubby" for his tastes, but if you're not someone opposed to fun, you should check out The Salmon Cannon and the Levitating Frog! Out one week from today!

Good morning from the farm!

I’m so excited that @AppleBooks chose The Salmon Cannon and the Levitating Frog as a June #MustListen! Check out the audiobook here: apple.co/mustlistens

Do you think other mammals think we're disabled because we can't move our ears?

AHH I GOT THE ADVANCED COPIES OF MY BOOK! I CANT WAIT TO SHARE WITH YOU!!

If this administration thinks diversity, equity, and inclusion have made U.S. citizens distrust science...just wait until they see what uniformity, inequity, and exclusion are going to do for trust in science

Well I guess I only have one cat now. I can’t find the other one anywhere.

Go Ronin!!

Oh come on, I'm sad! Tell me something fun.

Things are pretty dark and sad. Can we share fun science facts for funsies? I'll start- Amazon River dolphins create urine fountains when they jump out of the water.

I knew that our NSF grant for equity in STEM was on the chopping block but it still sucks to see the email saying it is terminated😔

WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL ME PANGDOLINS WALK AROUND LIKE A LITTLE T. REX

Someone should really study why printers suddenly break, emails stop working, and documents won't load for students this time of year.

Bonobos aren't actually very peaceful it's just that the females gang up on any aggressive male and take him down to maintain a matriarchy. Just sayin.
