#Bumblebees use their antennae for social interaction within the colony.
Touching antennae with other bees transfers chemical information which allows them to familiarise themselves with the other #bees in the colony.

What do citizen’s want from the Government and at what cost?

When Federal programs get cut, the money gets reallocated, not returned to specific citizens to accomplish what’s being advocated for in this clip.

Connect the dots for me?

At a recent event the leader of the starvation movement, MAGA Con MP Jamil Jivani - Canada’s own JD Vance wannabe, spoke to a bored handful of students, in a tiny classroom (not the grand arena he had hoped), about why he opposes feeding hungry kids at schools... #cdnpoli

Hi. Sprouting emerges as a survival trait that reduces mortality in saplings and small woody plants, yet declines with trunk size and neighbor competition. This size-dependent strategy highlights sprouting as a dynamic mechanism shaping forest persistence and resilience under ecological pressures 🍁🌎

Just a nice story about people helping wildlife. Just a note... These people are experts and knew what to do. If you find a baby animal that appears abandoned call your local wildlife agency and leave the baby animal alone unless they tell you what to do. 🌎

In that provision that passed in the US government spending bill - ELECTED officials literally voted themselves into a privileged legal class.

How do we feel about that? 🤔☕️

The language in the bill allows a senator to sue the federal government and receive up to $500,000 in damages if their data was sought without their being notified, and another $500,000 once it was obtained

Controversy: Senators would have special legal rights other American citizens don’t have
AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

No endorsement- i just like the idea of tapping into positive local action > fear.
Is national news making you angry or fearful?

Channel that energy instead into positive local action 💪

🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity!

We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have:
(1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs)
(2) better hand dexterity
(3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵
