Super excited to be part of this workshop and talk about my work from the Svalbard reindeer project! I will show examples from both multi-logging heart rate, temperature and activity, as well as insights from long-term biologging! See you in Antwerp at @sebiology.bsky.social

Some frogs are fighting a fungal disease - by breeding! This is a study that I’ve been working on for about 10 years - very exciting to see this in print - and to see my dogs officially thanked for their hard work!

Nice graphic I'm seeing at the other place. Can't find an attribution.
Your periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift down into the Great Plains. The frigid temps you're experiencing happen BECAUSE of a warming planet, not in spite of it. Two globes with the US in view. One is stable polar vortex and shows a circular strong jet stream containing cold Arctic air. The other is wavy polar vortex and shows waves in the jet stream, allowing the arctic air to move further south.

I just read a very serious paper about reproductive system
imaging in chameleons, and I need you to know that this was Figure 1.
A foam block with a row of a dozen chameleons lying on their backs. They each have a little cutout into the foam to keep them in position. All their little legs are sticking up in the air, and their tails are hanging off the edge of the block, most of them coiled. Each chameleon has a little face-bag attached to a splitter off of clear medical tubing, providing anesthetic gas and oxygen. The whole block of lizards is set up to be analyzed via CT imaging.

34 years ago today, 14 women, most of whom were studying engineering, were killed by an anti-feminist gun man at École Polytechnique in Montreal. I was a young graduate student studying physics at the time and I will never forget. #MontrealMassacre #NeverForget #WomenInSTEM 🧪🌹

More ‘Bloop’ (platypus content) is what we all need right now www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11...
Rare white platypus named Bloop stuns researchers as genetic abnormality found
A scientist was scouring the waterways of the Northern Tablelands for turtles when she instead made what is believed to be only the 13th sighting of a white platypus in 187 years.

My favorite UK bird fact is that in the 15th century they gave people names to a bunch of birds (Tom Tit, Jenny Wren), but some of them became permanent. Jack Daw became Jackdaw, Maggie Pie became Magpie, and Robert Redbreast turned into Robin Redbreast, then just Robin. 🪶🗃️
How Robins Got Their Name
Growing up in eastern South Dakota, winters were harsh, dark, and long, often lasting until deep into April. Sometimes it would snow in May. While the first snow day was always a treat, by the time Fe...
