Frost Science Museum on Instagram: "Getting through the week like this chocolate chip sea star... Sea stars use thousands of tube feet on the underside of each arm to move across marine surfaces. We like seeing them working together! Although they most commonly have five arms, some of these animals can grow up to 40 arms. #FrostScienceatHome ⁣ ⁣ 🎥: @juliette_horn ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #FrostScience #FrostScienceMuseum #ScienceMuseum #Museum #MuseumAtHome #loveflorida #miamidadecounty #science #miami #stayathome #distancelearning #education #aquarium #seastar #marinelife #sea #star #oceans #wednesdaywisdom #wednesday #oceancreatures #oceanbeauty #tubefeet #underwateranimals #timelapse #oceans #dyk"

@jimnnoke @TonyStark We've been having honest-to-dog measles outbreaks here in the US because certain idiots want to get rid of ALL mandatory vaccinations. This does not make me happy. Especially since we're seeing babies who were only partially vaccinated catch measles.

Waiting for the next super spreader event.
