This summer, we got to add new species to our weevil collection. The first step for finding weevils is finding their host plant.🌱 The fantastic-smelling, gray sagebrush is common in the Great Plains. From that, we got these two tiny gray weevil species, which were well hidden. #entomology

Mathematician Karl Weierstrass was born #OTD, Halloween, in 1815. 🧪 🎃
The fools at The Academy all said he was mad, but he showed them all in 1872 when he announced that he had created a MONSTER. Let's learn about the terrible thing he did.

Well this is beyond disturbing.
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

A university that signs the “compact” is one that acknowledges its own inability to compete and succeed based talent and merit. It would signal insecurity and mediocrity to current and future students and faculty. Say no. Recruit the best people, protect their freedom and support their hard work.

This (no common name for this beetle) = 1 of 20,000 species of darkling beetles who = beneficial decomposers of plant matter. The larvae = mealworms used as pet food/fishing bait. The species hadn't been found in Neb. until this specimen was collected from leaf litter this summer. #EntoTuesday

We know exactly how to improve healthcare outcomes in the US. Ask any healthcare policy researcher. There is no shortage of good ideas. But they all mean that people currently profiting from the healthcare system will earn less. That is not the fault of the sciences.
