A must read about what it's like to experience famine in Gaza, and the gauntlet of death and humiliation that is required to get food aid from Israel and the United States, who replaced a perfectly functional aid system with one that routinely kills Palestinians.

Knives, bullets and thieves: the quest for food in Gaza
NPR's Gaza producer faced Israeli military fire, private U.S. contractors pointing laser beams at his forehead and masked thieves as he tried to get food from a U.S.-supported group.

If you live in California and happen to see Spartan Mosquito Pro Techs for sale, please send me a photograph and the address of the store. The scam tubes are banned there and company gets fined up to $10,000 *per* instance. I'd very much like to facilitate that happening. #california #mosquitoes

Friendly neighborhood biologist here. I see a lot of people are talking about biological sexes right now. Lots of folks make biological sex seem really simple. Well, since it’s so simple, let’s find the biological roots, shall we? Let’s talk about sex...[a thread]

Hi, I'm Earyn, and I'm a lizard scientist! I created a game to teach people about lizards and increase the representation of Black women as herpetologists. #findthatlizard is a Where's Waldo-esque game where there is a lizard camouflaged in its environment. Your challenge is to find it. Will you? 🦎

If you've ever wanted to name a jumping spider (who hasn't?), now's your chance!
Bee is now an i8 and has had a massive transformation. We feel that his name no longer suits his beautiful colouring. We'd like to ask you wonderful people... What do you think his name should be? 😍 #jumpingspider
