Technical Tea, 100% artisanal podcasting :p

As much as I could (especially as just an engineer), I did not use AI to make this. Did download some vector art, the background texture, and polaroid frames from Motion Array but @nicoleackermans.com and I doodled on our own avatars and I artisanally typed all the text.

I ticked "extract a hummingbird hyoid apparatus" off my to do list today. Maybe tomorrow I should try eye of newt

This is how you get me to add stuff to my TBR

I was just telling @nicoleackermans.com today that I happen to have read a horror manga after that show where a serow (like a bunch of 'em actually) show up. Ultimate Baader-Meinhof.

Great piece here by @brendonstuff.bsky.social on the need for widespread use of bird-safe glass to prevent window collisions theconversation.com/bird-safe-gl...

Bird-safe glass must become the norm to prevent collisions with buildings

In Canada, tens of millions of birds are killed annually by crashing into glass on buildings.

Admirable clarity @science.org

Willow the Musk Ox at Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma was given a Gatorade treat as enrichment during the summer heat, but she prefers gentle bonks to help cool down. Let's learn about the musk ox (Ovibos moschatus). Although they *resemble* an ox/cow, they're actually closer to sheep & goats.

Alabama is the most biodiverse state in the US, and one where the biodiversity is the most at risk www.vox.com/climate/4814...

This US state has become an unexpected epicenter of the global extinction crisis

And it reveals a big problem with the nation’s approach to saving endangered species.

Guys, there's a blue soup update!

Elinne Becket, PhD@bielleogy.bsky.social · 2w ago

Plot twist!!!! It's the root veggies that make the strain this color! Color not fully developed yet, and it gets darker as the veggies boil longer, not because of new ingredients, imo. #bluesoup

I always end up with the oddest quotes 😅 It's the nature of the job I suppose

Three headbutting goats showed signs of neurodegeneration similar to those in humans following head injuries

I saw "sourced from zoo" and I knew this would be a Chet paper :p Looks very cool. This is the type of neuroscience I'm all about

The question came up at work today whether whales could technically get rabies. Probably not... but a hydrophobic whale would be hilarious
