Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

Goodbye to seasonal viruses as we know them: the first universal vaccine against respiratory infections and allergies is now closer than ever

Scientists are getting closer to a universal nasal vaccine that could protect against respiratory viruses, bacteria and even allergies

Another good cockchafer fact: as a result of studies by 1800s entomologists, the cockchafer was one of the first animals to be discovered to have a strong preference towards homosexuality. A lot of Victorians found this very upsetting and refused to believe it.

My four favourite facts about the cockchafer beetle: 1. It's called a cockchafer beetle. 2. It’s also sometimes known as a “billywitch”. 3. It’s unusually loud and clumsy by beetle standards and bangs into lots of things when it flies into your house by mistake. 4. It looks like this, close up.

As tick season ramps up, keep in mind importance of preserving any tick that attaches. In theory, a tick not engorged cannot pass on disease, but there can still be infection and for peace of mind I always send them to the Tick Report. Testing is fast and not that expensive. 1/2 www.tickreport.com

Possibly historic sighting of a pod of cuvier's beaked whales in Monterey Bay today, not only is it rare to find these but finding that many in this region may never have happened before. These whales dive longer and deeper than sperm whales, up to nearly 10,000 ft deep for over 3 hours!! 🦑

A cuvier's beaked whale posted to Instagram, hard to see what it is in the picture if you don't know what they are monterey_bay_whale_watch We had an incredibly rare sighting of 15 Goose-beaked (Cuvier's) whales on our 1:30PM trip yesterday! Typically any beaked whale sightings we get for the year do occur in the spring, but this sighting was something special. Typically when encountering Goose-beaked whales, it is a very brief encounter with only a couple individuals, and they are usually quite distant. Yesterday we got extremely lucky to encounter 15 of these mvsterious whales for almost 5 minutes at the surface! It is likelv one of the largest groups of this species ever seen in Monterey Bay, and there was a mix of female subadults and even a few calves! We are also in contact with beaked whale experts about one individual in particular that might even be a different species of beaked whale. You trulv

Turns out those Chinook salmon that finally showed up in the Upper Klamath last year were doing more than just posing for photos. 🐟🧪🌎 www.opb.org/article/2026...

Nearly a quarter-century ago, Dick Cheney personally meddled in a govt report finding that Klamath Basin fish actually need, y’know, water—an act that led directly to the catastrophic salmon die-off in 2002 and thus paved dam removal’s way. Now Dick’s dead and the Klamath lives. Makes ya think.

Happy polio vaccine announcement anniversary. "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?" remains one of the hardest remarks of all time. Kind of quote every child should be taught

New friend said she always mixes up which thread is warp (vertical) and which is weft (horizontal), so I told her to just remember that warp goes up and down and weft goes weft to wight and if anybody else has made that joke before please don't tell me because I was SO pleased with myself 😤
