Happy Sámi National Day. We Are Indigenous. Removing the word from US federal awards and projects does not erase the truth of who we are or of Indigenous guardianship of the earth.

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

The decision by Duke University to close their herbarium is deeply concerning. Herbaria are not just repositories of plant specimens, they are living libraries of life on Earth. They hold the keys to ...

A halloween cartoon for New Scientist 🧪

Title: Stay safe this halloween with our helpful diagram.

Image: Three circles are labelled "Haematologist", "Conservationist" and "Dentist". They each overlap with a fourth circle labelled "Vampire".

The overlapping area between Haematologist and Vampire is labelled "Interested in your blood"
The overlapping area between Conservationist and Vampire is labelled "Fond of wolves and bats"
The overlapping area between dentist and Vampire is labelled "Can be repelled by garlic."

There are many reasons to love Duke Lemur Center, the latest is a graph mapping individual variations in the center's ring-tailed lemurs, based on ear angle & pointiness

Angle range: Cat (straight up) to Airplane (side-to-side)
Pointiness range: Round to Elf

📷 DLC: www.instagram.com/p/Cy3VmnkPEVx/

A white graph on a shaded gray background. The horizontal axis range is "Round" to "Elf" and the vertical axis range is "Cat" to "Airplane." Distributed around the graph are 17 photos of ring-tailed lemurs; the images have been cropped to show only the heads. They are plotted to the graph based on the angle and shape of their ears.
