THEY'RE BACK...IN BLACK (birds)
Red-winged Blackbirds, must have moved north for awhile but today multiple families arrived for breakfast.
The boys are quarreling while the girls are trying to enjoy their meal in peace.

Let's go underwater for #InverteFest with one of the smartest and prettiest invertebrates I know, my companions on many a night dive, S. lessoniana, the Oval or Bigfin squid (depending on who you ask). This one was very curious about the large, clumsy vertebrate with the bright light. :) 📷🌿🐙🦑

It’s #WorldHippoDay! 🦛 ❤️
To celebrate and spread some hippo happiness here are some Ancient Egyptian blue hippos made by artisans some 4,000 years ago!
Which is your favourite? 😍

A clear night so I couldn't resist a wander amongst the stars. Taken in Glastonbury about 30 minutes ago. Sheep nestle below the wonder at the bottom of the scene.

I'm looking for musicians, artists, writers, filmmakers, etc. who are passionate about translating science to a broader audience. The field is at the intersection of geoscience, paleo, climate, biology, and conservation. This is a funded opportunity. Tag your favorite STEAM folks, please!

One more note to this bracing essay: the US Constitution, while not being very old, is nonetheless the oldest of all current democratic charters. Democracy is a very new thing in the world, and not deeply rooted.

The entire run of American constitutionalism can be encompassed in three lifespans.
