🧵 During my 1st year away at university, I ended up in a precarious situation at a house party. A group of guys backed me into the deck railing and just as things were about to get worse, 1 guy came out on the deck and said "Hey! We don't do that here. Back off." (cont in next thread)
Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.
Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Spending time in the presence of one of Ireland's extremely rare ancient trees, like this hulking oak near Bandon with local man Dan Holland, are for me life highlights. But it's always bittersweet, tempered by the knowledge that such stupendous beings were once commonplace. We have lost SO much.

Due to my state's ageing ferry fleet and the lack of federal funding we were stuck on our little island adventure for much longer than anticipated. The Moon had something to say about it. :)
Returning to the Selkie habitat was the right choice. Admiring Venus while the Sun says good night and the Moon has your back, while being nessled betwixt two toothy mountian ranges and the sea air who breathes for you is a welcome luxury.
I heard this song against my will and could not stop laughing about how bad it is. Props to everyone in the courtroom who held it together as best as they could. Insult to injury in light of the whole situation.

Smile, it’s Friday! 😃 Meet ‘The Oldest Smile in the World’ a tiny face that’s been smiling for some 7,400 years! Carved from oak during the Mesolithic, this small human figure was found in 1966 in a layer of peat during dock construction at Willemstad in the Netherlands. #FindsFriday #Archaeology
The Boston bar in the news sounds like a fake thing made up as a distraction by a foreign threat actor or entirely plausible.
Thanks be to jebus it is raining from Medford to Squamish.
I had to be back on campus for something else yesterday, and had just enough time to pick up my hard to find hold, and have a quiet moment in one of the gardens. 🧵

Why learn science? Because lots of things can seem like a big scary conspiracy theory when you don’t understand how the world works! Empower yourself by learning about facts and evidence and reality. As a bonus, it’ll lead to a healthier and more prosperous society for others around you.
Exactly! This is why the IRB approval requirement exists.
David Shiffman, Ph.D. 🦈@whysharksmatter.bsky.social · 5d agoLots of people in the replies, including several who I’ve blocked, believe that research ethics approval doesn’t matter and is just annoying red tape. And that children is why natural scientists need to learn some history and social science.
