I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

I’m so excited to announce that my new book THE BIRDING DICTIONARY is available for preorder! It's a humorous dictionary of real birding terms and goofy definitions, plus a ton of silly illustrations. It's out May 6 but you can preorder it here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...

Want to make an epigenetic clock for your non-human study species but don't know where to start? Check out our new preprint that guides you through the process!
🚨New preprint alert! 🚨
With the advent of a microarray that can measure DNA methylation from any mammal, people have begun creating epigenetic clocks for all kinds of cool species.

A thread explaining our new discovery about humpback whale song published today in Science... We found key statistical properties that characterise all human languages in another species for the first time. We have more in common with whales than we previously thought! doi.org/10.1126/scie...
