The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

I originally named this "Goldenrod Crab Spider on Goldenrod" (Misumena vatia) but... Now it's "Goldenrod Crab Spider on Flower that Due to Morphological Differences Has Been Moved to Genus Euthamia so is no Longer a True Goldenrod" Taxonomy is fun! (Goldenrods are Genus Solidago) #inverts #plants

Happened upon a plant hopper rendezvous today. Very serious business going down in the bushes. Sorry to disturb, gentlemen. Carry on.

please remember: gender is fake as shit. it's a crazy convoluted program running on a substrate of eight billion highly erratic learning systems. most interactions involve undefined behaviour. so: you can hack it. don't let anyone tell you what you are.

Beautiful bug. I painted it last year after finding an injured one on my campus. I saw another one this summer. Should I draw it again? #entomology #beetle #insects #bug #gouache
