I enjoy walking through forests and beaches, very long hikes inner city, swimming, gardening, dancing, and good music!
Anyone else out there getting a little bit frightened with what’s going on?

Beautiful paracrinoid. A distant relative of sea stars and urchins 🧪
In light of the Saurophaganax situation (🦕 and/or 🦖), I suggest Oklahoma consider Oklahomacystis as a state fossil. Oklahomacystis belongs to the Paracrinoidea, an extinct lineage of rare & unusual blastozoan echinoderms. Despite their name, they aren't likely to be very closely related to crinoids.

While acknowledging the awfulness of 2025, I am nonetheless grateful to live in a time when we can often see evocative snapshots from another planet. As both an ichnologist & geologist, I especially love this one with lengthy tool marks in Martian sediments made by the Perseverance rover.🧪🪨
I usually post widefield colour "postcard" views of Mars, but today, just for a change, here's a rather more abstract view for you all... Perseverance's tracks meandering across the Martian landscape... Hope you like it! Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/S Atkinson

With everything going on in the US this year, it's refreshing to see the European Particle Physics plan prioritize limiting environmental impacts and acknowledging climate change.
This should be a fundamental component of any science project, anywhere.

It's kind of wild how we managed to pollute the internet into oblivion over a short decade. Not sure how you clean it up, other than shut the whole thing down, open some "windows" and air it out for a couple years? 🧪👩💻
The internet is fast becoming so choked with this, it'll be unusable. We'll all be boats chugging blindly through the gloom and the muck, finding nothing, barely each other, uncertain what's true or even real anymore.
googled something and clicked a link to a website I'd never heard of that looked like a forum, read the discussion and realized the person asking a question and all of the answers were all LLM generated, the entire website was a fake forum pretending to be people asking/answering questions

I hope it doesn’t happen again with all these volcanoes!❤️🩹😿🕊❤️🕊🕊❤️🙏
Everyone knows about the crater.
Fewer people know what happened to sunlight after the impact.
That missing detail changes everything about the extinction.

A thread about the contributions of pioneering astronomer Annie Jump Cannon, born #OTD in 1863. 🧪 👩🔬 🔭
Astronomer Annie Jump Cannon was born #OTD in 1863. She was a pioneer of stellar classification and co-creator of the Harvard Classification Scheme.
Over her lifetime she *manually* classified around 350,000 stars. (1/n) 🧪 🔭 👩🔬 ⚛️

#PPOD: After a seven-year journey on board the Cassini spacecraft, ESA’s Huygens probe reached Titan’s surface, marking the most distant landing ever achieved by a spacecraft. During the descent, its cameras collected data on the dense atmosphere and took the first-ever images of the surface. 🧪 🔭

Inspired by the striking black plumage of the riflebird, researchers at Cornell University created a new ultrablack fabric by combining the melanin and microstructure properties of the feathers.

Day 11 #artAdventCalendar The loggerhead shrike, endemic to North America, is also known as the butcherbird for its carnivorous tendencies and habit of ostentatiously displaying stored prey dramatically impaled on convenient spikes like tree thorns or barbed wire. 🧪🐡🪶 Its usual prey are insects, 🧵

In the Middle Ages, oranges were imbued with magic. Their golden peel reflected the returning sun, a talisman against the darkness. Hung in windows, they filled rooms with their sharp, sweet fragrance, believed to dispel lingering spirits, invite prosperity, and fill the household with health.
