🚨Not one, but two Magnapinna squid! 🚨 the #doldrums team observed 2 elusive Magnapinna sp., commonly known as bigfin squid, at approximately 4,300 m (about 2.7 miles). Magnapinna is the deepest-dwelling squid. Sightings of these animals are extremely rare — seeing two in one dive is extra exciting!

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

We're 60 shirts away from getting our first bug mural of the fall funded. If you haven't already, get a shrimp shirt. Look cool as hell while supporting a project that's just as cool 😎 SquidFacts.net

Welcome to Shrimp City! Teach your friends about a variety of crustaceans with this helpful visual aid - and set the record straight... bugs is shrimp. Shrimp is not bugs These shirts are designed by @the666cat.bsky.social & printed in Philly! Get one at SquidFacts.net (pls RT!)

A cream colored shirt with a red and blue design featuring 9 crustaceans and a fly. A scuba diving Fly Says a”am I shrimp too?” A pistol shrimp wearing a cowboy hat says “bang bang” a mantis shrimp says KO, the title says a”shrimp city and friends” a hermit crab uses a skull As a shell, a jumbo shrimp is labeled himbo shrimp, and a yeti crab is labeled “snack bacteria cafe”. The fly has an asterisk next to Him and underneath the whole design it says *the latest research shows that bugs is actually shrimp”

BOOSTING this again for #AAPI, Asian American Pacific Islander month! I am the first Chinese American in to be among this august if obscure assemblage of 20 #echinoderm taxonomists! and the number continues to grow!

Chris Mah@echinoblog.bsky.social · 5mo ago

I AM IN THE TOP 20! As of March 2026 I have described 186 species-based on data from Carter&Sands 2025 who summarize the top 20 echinoderm taxonomists (by total species) that puts me in the TOP 20! All these others are dead, white guys. I am the first who is not. #taxonomistappreciationday

I was supposed to present my research on deep-sea sharks in the western Caribbean Sea at #SI2026, but I was, er... let go from my job shortly before the conference and am not there. Since I gained a few followers from this, I thought I would share some of what I would have presented yesterday (1/9)

I made a Bluesky starter pack of shark science and conservation professionals. Many are attending sharks international #SI2026 ! Please follow and share. go.bsky.app/Q1x1gJB @sharks-int.bsky.social 🧪🌎🦑🦈
