Dressing Up to Get Down with #Science -2025 #Cosplay for #Science Workshop at SICB by Audrey Friestad, Jaralynn Tammi Morellano, & Katrina Pinili on @gregpask.bsky.social , @lisalundgren.bsky.social & @paleoparadox.bsky.social workshop integrativeandcomparativebiology.wordpress.com/2025/06/24/d...

Celebrated World Ocean Day with a trip to the Cabrillo Aquarium and the excellent Water Pokémon-themed scavenger hunt put on by the illustrious and rad @paleoparadox.bsky.social! Such a lovely aquarium celebrating the beauty and power of the SEA!

The president’s proposed NASA budget does 2 things well: it cedes US leadership in STEM, and it funnels taxpayer dollars to companies and their CEOs. Moving the goal to Mars means that companies get to spend a LOT of tax dollars in development, rather than having to deliver actual results.

Celebrate #WorldOceanDay at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium and learn about the science of water-type Pokémon at our special pop-up museum! cma.recreation.parks.lacity.gov/events/gotta...
