In our latest collection of free education resources, we explore marine bioacoustics with Dr Lucille Chapuis (@sharkslikejazz.bsky.social) from @latrobeuni.bsky.social. She studies the hearing systems of fish to understand how they are affected by human-made noise.

🚨 New paper 🚨, led by ‪‪@oceansinitiative.bsky.social‬ on the risks of noise from deep-sea mining!
Critical knowledge gap: the majority of taxa found in these ecosystems have not been studied for noise sensitivity.

It was a pleasure to meet @palaeo-jrule.bsky.social and @slyssabits.bsky.social‬ at #PintofScience2025 at Carton Brewhouse in Melbourne! Loved learning more about seals 'ears and how to best cook trilobites for a delicious treat. Thanks to the organizers and especially the public for attending!

Had so much fun presenting at #PintofScience2025 last night with @palaeo-jrule.bsky.social and @sharkslikejazz.bsky.social ! Thank you both for so many awesome secret sea-crit facts, and thanks to the organizers at Pint of Science Australia!

A woman in some kind of paleontologist get up gives a double thumbs up, standing in front of a powerpoint screen. Her smile is large and unsettling. It’s me!

A confident woman stands before an ocean themed presentation, speaking calmly into the microphone. It’s Lucille!

A man stands before an adorable seal, prepared to make devastatingly funny jokes and show people some super cute animals. It’s James!

New paper from the lab: Our teeth arose as sensory organs on the outside of the body of ancient jawless fish.!! Congrats to Yara Haridy and the team!

Teeth first evolved as sensory tissue in the armored exoskeletons of ancient fish, fossil scans find

Anyone who has ever squirmed through a dental cleaning can tell you how sensitive teeth can be. This sensitivity gives important feedback about temperature, pressure—and yes, pain—as we bite and chew ...

Not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous of the five people who have seen "olo"—an intense teal that human eyes can't normally see. That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

By directly stimulating certain light-sensing cells (s, m, and l) in the retina, researchers can show people colors outside the natural range of perception—like “olo” (green circle). Fong et al./Science Advances (2025)
