I love that the Zoology department was integral to finding text about Merlin that was otherwise invisible to the human eye.
Rare Merlin and King Arthur text found hidden in binding of medieval book
The ‘extremely significant' text was hidden for centuries.

A reminder alert popped up.

"Oh," the Supervisor said, "it's time to check in on Sol-3 again. Szrpt, can you handle that?"

Szrpt bowed a frond. "Yes, of course."

"Don't forget to reset the killer asteroid if the sapients pose no threat."

"Once!" Szrpt bristled. "I only forgot that once!"

There are only 242 #kakapo today, but they were once one of #NZ's most common birds and lived in all mainland forests.

Today is #WorldDraculaDay because Bram Stoker's classic novel was first published #onthisday in 1897. It's also worth remembering that if Stoker hadn't come across the name Dracula in a book while researching in a LIBRARY the main character was going to be called Count Wampyr. 🧛‍♂️

Hi guys. On world bee day today, don't forget that honey bees are actually doing ok! It's solitary and subsocial native bees like mason bees and bumblebees that need our help.
I'll post some resources in this thread on how you could help them, even if you don't have a yard to plant native flowers!

If you know anyone planning to get their child live rabbits for Easter, please talk them out of it. Tell them to get a stuffed toy and sponsor a rescue bunny instead! 🐇 www.merrymacfarmsanctuary.org/meet-the-bun...
