this is one of my fave pics of my late Harvey, who I lost two months ago. I rescued him and then found out most of this 'breed' are deaf and have so many health issues. I see a lot of studies on cats and dogs but few on domesticated rabbits, which makes them seem lesser - he was my absolute world.

Fed some much smaller Cyanea capillata today, but this impressive one was putting on quite a show just doing its thing. #cnidarian love

Could honestly watch this all day. Also high fives to everyone who has the passion and constitution for lab work - heroes don’t wear capes but lab coats 🥼 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

First degree (journalism), postmodernism and media theory, as I had no idea why, at age 19, I was being shown Twin Peaks scenes and paying for the privilege. In the second degree (zoology and animal science), physics. Not even the dinosaur puke explainer helped and I got a pass by a single mark. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I'm bad at posting my work, and our readers don't love this topic so it's a fight to cover. But I found this fascinating. Neurobio, signalling, genetics and animal behaviour, and evolutionary biology are my jams. Love to be sent more studies and if anyone needs a RA... https://newatlas.com/biology/brain-stars-memories/

Super cool to see Canada’s government invest in preventing the next pandemic. Any epidemiology peeps and HPAI researchers or “enthusiasts” please be my friend 😅 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Sad less people are as enthused about this as I am – I love any gateway into #citizenscience – especially when it's valuable data gathering that might rope in people who wouldn't usually care about science. Two days left to go if any Aussies feel like putting their butts out there to help the #CSIRO https://newatlas.com/diet-nutrition/chart-your-fart-csiro/

As a Facebook moderator for six years (how did I last), it’s wild. I think this subconsciously made me run off to uni to become a scientist [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I feel it would be remiss of me to not get #pesto my workmate on this social platform too. He’s slimmed down since he’s lost his floof but he still knows he’s a star

#science journalist over here, it’s honestly nice to see a space for academics, scientists, journos, and everyone else trying to get facts in the way of misinformation (also shout out to all the birders and their amazing photos 🙌🏻) [contains quote post or other embedded content]

What is this magical land, an account from bioRxiv of #zoology and #biology preprint papers?! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

'The New South Wales housing minister, Rose Jackson, says she gave a “garbled” answer during a “hard” live radio interview when she suggested it was possible to rent a two-bedroom apartment in Sydney for “a couple of hundred bucks a week”.' LOL LOL LOL double garage I assume she meant. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
