Watch with the audio on! I wish I could offer more these days, but at least here I can present to you a leech dancing to funk music. Hope you enjoy.

More info: This is a European medicinal leech.
Fun fact: It is considered an FDA-approved medical device.

Six-year-old: "Naga!"

Made me unreasonably happy.

I present to you, the #ReverseNaNoWriMo. (Yes, I'm making this up.) I've done #NaNoWriMo before, but this year I'm doing something different- I already wrote a #scifi novel but need to get the total word count down. Aiming for 105K by the end of the month. Wish me luck! #writing #GreeningNaNoWriMo

Am reading EXORDIA by Seth Dickinson and came across this quote ripe for the moment:

Is it possible that I baked banana nut muffins today because I wrote a story about an alien who's obsessed with banana nut muffins? Yes, yes it is. Good thing I also enjoy eating them. #scifi #scifibooks #cozy #hopepunk #writing #baking

I've been having fun writing K-12 #science project ideas over the last few months with @sciencebuddies.bsky.social . If you're curious about #astrobiology (that's life in space!), or just want to watch me streak some agar plates, check one out here: www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair... #STEM
