Fyi that photo is actually the last iNaturalist observation I submitted. Not exactly a wildlife photographer, am I. 😆

Way, way behind on my podcasts (stopped mowing the lawn, 🤷 ).

Two that really stood out to me recently included

1 - @cbahlai How do you know on Ladybug vs Ladybeatles misinformation, which was eye opening for yours truly (even though I should know better)

https://howdoyouknow.squarespace.com/blog-2/hdyk-episode-8-eminent-ladybugologists-and-zombie-ideas-with-kaitlin-stack-whitney-and-sara-hermann

2 - David Pogue's Unsung Science on the Cape Town drought solution that involves hiring women to chainsaw down pine trees!

HDYK Episode 8: Eminent ladybugologists and zombie ideas with Kaitlin Stack Whitney and Sara Hermann — How Do You Know?

These ladybugs are for real.

@friesen5000 😻 Cauli is a tiny-framed big orange, short but built like a teeny muscle-man!

You weirdos over here also deserve to be spammed with images of this cat. This ridiculous creature now lives with us. His name is Cauliflower. He's 4 years old, likes small spaces, being fed regularly, spooning, and drooling when you pet him on his folded-in ear. His dislikes include crinkly plastic bags, taking his medicine, and, unexpectedly, a toy snake that my 11 year old had in her room. We think he's been through some stuff, and look forward to giving him a much cushier life from now on.

@Haley_Sanderson_092018 We're mostly looking for folks that would be able to teach and advise students within our Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program- if you feel it's a good fit send us your application!

One of the most disappointing work-related things about the collapse of Twitter is that we're about to lose a space that allows historically marginalized scientists to control their own narrative and build a virtual community that may not be possible to create locally.
