After I told my 200K Instagram audience about the first documented case of parthenogenesis in crocodiles:
THE parthenogenesis video that just got 1 million views on Instagram yesterday haha... imagine getting pregnant out of thin air after not seeing a man for 16 years

I guess now is a good time to release the song is wrote last year about food recalls
Does anyone who follows me and loves me (lol) work at George Mason University? If so, I would have a small favor to ask 🫣
Both of my mentees got into their dream PhD programs. Both in biology, one at Stanford and the other at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Being a mentor is so rewarding. People look up to you and trust you to take all of your experience and wisdom and pour into them. Then you watch them soar!
My mentee graduated from college and is going into a PhD program! We're so proud of her. She moved across the country for grad school and needs help settling in. She made a wishlist for me to share with my community. Consider helping a first generation college student! www.amazon.com/registries/g...

I am almost done locking my hair but decided to try my first rollerset! I hope the curls last 😭
I locked my hair again! A lot of you met me with locks, and now I'm returning to my original style. Feels good to be back!
I would like to interview a researcher on my podcast about the molecular mechanisms of addiction. Any recommendations? 🧪 I also would like to interview a social scientist to talk about addiction in kids.
Science belongs to everyone, and my job is making sure everyone feels it. 🎤 Booking keynotes & lectures for 2026–2027. I went from failing out of college as a freshman to the Forbes 30 Under 30, and I'd love to bring the science to your stage. thesciencemaven.com/speaking
YES, ANIMALS -- ACROSS SPECIES -- CHEAT AND MANIPULATE THEIR PARTNERS!! We learned from Dr. Anastasia Shavrova about some of the trends. My podcast episode link is in my bio!
One thing the internet loves is a good ole dogpile. Why is that?
I absolutely love the fashion at the Met Gala as well as it's starting to give Hunger Games teas 😭 the world is so complicated
Dr. Raven is a gawd damn national treasure.

The women in my family can only process hemitic iron and have heavy periods, Iron-deficient anemia is not only common, but still wildly under-diagnosed even in today's much-improved gender-aware medical world.
Raven Baxter, Ph.D.@ravenscimaven.bsky.social · 3mo agoI just learned earlier this year that I've had iron deficiency anemia for the past few years and I've spent the last two weeks correcting it and mannnnn... I feel like the INCREDIBLE HULK! Let's GO! 😂💪🏿

I ride the train everywhere, even across the country! This is my regular mode of travel. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to take my time going to places and not feel the rush. I always meet tons of new friends, and it feels like a hotel on wheels! fervae.com/l/H8SE3b
Living in DC is so wild because you will be at the bar and it will be like 2 dudes next to you throwing em back discussing the nuclear codes. And you just gotta pretend you don't hear anything

I've been knees deep in learning software engineering and have gotten to the part where I learn that things in engineering are referred to as "masters" and "slaves"... just when I found something that felt like it could take my mind off all the bullshit, here comes some bullshit 🫠
I want all my fellow OCD suffers to know that after scrubbing my tub absolutely clean and spotless after it was already spotless, I ran a bath and when I got out the bath and drained it there was a single piece of my hair in the tub. And I wanted to scream. The agony 🥲
