Lincoln Savi@lincolnsavi.bsky.social · 12h agoI made a new web app that makes egg collection posters. I programmed in some preset collections but you can add and subtract any of the eggs in the program (n=672) and make and name your own collection. Play around with it here and let me know what you think: Savimade.ca/egg-collection-posters/
New Philly voice article on the fight to reopen the Academy of Natural Sciences! www.phillyvoice.com/academy-natu...
Academy of Natural Sciences is closed, but the fight for the museum continues
A grassroots group is urging Drexel's board to disaffiliate from the institution and calling for a public process to decide its future.

Your lab isn't a home until you've hung up your prized Tiktaalik. My Live, Laugh, Love wall decals gotta be in a box somewhere.
You let them inside and next thing you know they’re climbing on the furniture. #SciArt 🐡

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · last yr.So they found a 125,000 yr old Neanderthal fat rendering plant & I have thoughts. Knowing that they loved saturated fat SO MUCH that they industrialized to get as much of it as humanly possible? Makes me feel seen, heard, supported, etc www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Update: Hyracotherium has been making friends fast.
Dave Hayes@gnarlylarvae.bsky.social · 2y agoLately I’ve been keeping our 3D printer busy with this life sized Hyracotherium (ancestor to modern horses) model. Digitally sculpted by Minatures Museum, I cut and scaled it to fit the pieces on the print bed. It’s like the most macabre LEGO set ever.

Most people don't think of wasps being aquatic, but there are definitely some that exist, such as Agriotypus sp. They are parasitoids of Trichoptera pupae and pre-pupae. #Agriotypus #Ichneumonidae

My university came out with a fresh new website! Now all the links are broken the first week of classes and no one can find any of the forms they are required to use.
HI WHERE DO YOU KEEP YOUR ALGAE
Let‘s try a #metabarcoding starter pack to nucleate people interested. Welcome molecular #biodiversity monitoring people. Let’s try to keep us posted on updates regarding papers, projects, methods. Happy weekend.☀️#eDNA go.bsky.app/Qvqgknp
There's a sucker (myth) born every minute. These are not trash fish. Suckers are native fishes found across N. America. They are essential parts of the ecosystem. They're cool fishes to pursue. Photo by Joel Sartore, of a largescale sucker I caught for him to photograph (and release).
Hey everyone, it's me. I'm sending out my feelers and testing out this platform. In the meantime, enjoy this cute velvet worm (Austroperipatus eridelos) from far north Queensland, Australia.
On the 4th day of #Fishmas, my true love gave to me: The Troyer et al. 2022 Tetraodontiformes phylogenetic tree!! www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....
Here’s a commission I’m able to share now. Blackside Dace (Chrosomus cumberlandensis), a federally threatened species native to the upper Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers. Printed extra large at 400mm. #3DPrinted and painted by me.
