I am beyond excited to share that our paper, "Neurodivergent Perceptions, Experiences, and Perspectives in Academic Biological Sciences Spaces" has been published! A 🧵incoming because this paper is so special to me and the co-authors. doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

Neurodivergent Perceptions, Experiences, and Perspectives in Academic Biological Sciences Spaces

Abstract. Neurodiversity has received considerable attention recently from the general population and academic researchers, coinciding with an increase in

For a brief break from the world, please enjoy a tale of two slugs. #MarineLife #inverts 🧪🦑🐙 Nudibranch Jorunna pantherina (I think!) and not-nudibranch Elysia coodgeensis in a tidepool, about 1cm and 5mm long respectively. And with a few bonus microscopic epifauna video-bombing.

Your plots and figures deserve some sea slug style! The nudibranch colour palette package is up on CRAN! 🎨 Can now be found and installed without even needing to tab away from R Studio. cran.r-project.org/web/packages... #rstats #nudibranch #dataviz 🦑🐙🧪 #marinelife #invertebrates

Do you have a background in behavioural ecology and are you interested in doing a PhD in Australia? I’m looking for new grad students so check out our website (BobWongLab.org) or come find me in Torino at #ISBE2026. 🐟🐠

Rescued one of my favourite moths from where it had got itself stuck in a bit of a tangle. The beautiful day-flying cinnabar moth. Now checking out every ragwort I pass because I want to see cinnababies in the garden 😄 #Invertebrates

Just noticed that City of Last Chances by @aptshadow.bsky.social is 99p on Kobo today. It's one hell of a book, full of fascinating characters struggling with power & oppression. I haven't checked, but the ebook might be cheap in other places right now too. www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/...

The fibre community on Bluesky need to see this 🧶

the only character creation sliders that matter #InvertebrateShitposting

Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs. But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅 First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti. #rstats #nudibranch #dataviz 🦑🐙🧪 #marinelife #invertebrates

On this World Oceans Day we are proud to unveil the latest extension of the world’s longest underwater timelapse, starting May 1, 2023, and running for three years through May 1, 2026 🪸🌎🪸

Another Haeckel plate for World Ocean Day. This one depicts a variety of marine annelid worm species labeled Chaetopoda, an obsolete taxonomical term. A favorite that I’ve posted before, it looks even more striking in person. Coin for scale. 🌊 🦑 🪱

Happy World Ocean Day! Unlike free-swimming jellyfish, Stauromedusa are sessile cnidarians that attach to surfaces like seaweed or rocks & are the sole living members of the class Staurozoa. Illustration from Kunstformen der Natur (1904) by Ernst Haeckel. Coin for scale. 🌊 🪼 🦑 🐙

Life hack from a marine biologist: When your blue sea dragons need a little snack, remember that they never evolved to swim, so you have to drive the Portuguese man-o-war around and pick them up like a little bus 🎥 by me during field work :)

We like to imagine that voters make decisions on the basis of accountability and attribution. But they never have, and never will. It's time to drop the myths and build our politics on things that work, such as inspiration and transformation. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Nothing sums up the death of accountability like the prospect of Nigel Farage in No 10 | George Monbiot

You’d expect the public face of Brexit to be punished by voters. But history shows that such leaders often profit from the chaos they sow, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Torture by non-fiction is definitely a thing this century.

After careful consideration, Ive decided I’m just not built to be so well informed about so many people I dislike so intensely

Reposting this thread because I think we could all do with a lil green snail with two shells.

We’ve looked at snails with one shell and slugs with no shells. Now let’s have a look at a snail with two shells, because Nature laughs at our puny attempts to pigeonhole. In today’s #AtoZ – J is for Julia (Juliidae) (1/9) Pic: © uwkwaj CC BY-NC

I am hiring a PhD student to join our group in Lund, Sweden working on an ERC-funded project to untangle color and polarization vision in some amazing crustaceans – minute water fleas and pugnacious mantis shrimp! Please forward this to promising students. Apply here: lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

I rarely see crab larvae in my samples, so it’s super exciting to see one! This is a zoea larva of a shore crab (Carcinus maenas). #marineplankton 🦑 #zooplankton #microscopy #crab

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵
