It's October! Here's some art form a few years ago. Keep bats in mind when you decorate for spooky season. Fake spider webs and even finishing line in our trees are a hazard for these amazing animals. It's important to be aware of our flying friends when we decorate for Halloween! #sciart

Art from a few years ago. Watercolor paper with two bats flying.

Back in 2024 people made fun of my T-shirt that read "Vote Blue No Matter Who."

I said, "Oh yeah? What's the opposite T-shirt? Vote Orange No Matter-- OH WAIT NOTHING RHYMES WITH ORANGE!!!"

A friendly Golden Retriever named Maru stole the show on Jukdo Island, South Korea, by following a Google Maps photographer—appearing in over 1,000 Street View photos! 😍🐾 This photobombing pup is now the island’s unofficial guide and internet sensation.
