One of the funner moments from my South Africa trip occurred when these two little borbs decided to chase each other on the edge a lagoon.

Natta mellom 5. og 6. desember er det Krampusnacht og en utmerket anledning til å forklare barna at Krampus har tatt med Rampenissen ned til underverdenen, som hør og bør, som straff for alle rampestrekene - «OG HAN KOMMER ALDRI TILBAKE!»

The journey from Estonian paleoart during the Soviet era to Japanese plush toys in the 2020s.
Did you know. That the meme-explosion that was the wooden model of Sacabambaspis (an Ordovician jawless fish) held at a Museum in Helsinki, was created by a pioneering Estonian fish paleontologist and palaeoartist, Elga Mark-Kurik. 🧵

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

Dei samme som går på kino men savner å drikke øl og vin attåt, trekker vel opp mobilen når dei er på bar, fordi dei saknar noko å sjå på mens dei drikker. 🤦🏻♂️
Hvis man går på teater en fredag kveld kan man ofte kjøpe alkohol. Hvorfor skal kino være annerledes?

A fertilized insect egg doesn't repeatedly divide like a vertebrate egg. Instead, its nucleus duplicates itself thousands of times (6000 in fruit flies). These nuclei migrate to the cell periphery, where the membrane folds around them to form cells. (Alberts et al., Molec Bio of the Cell, 7th ed)

I assume this has to do with licensing and the new BSG game that is coming out, but BSG: Deadlock is honestly one of the best space-capital-ship tactics games I've seen, so I'd suggest frankly grabbing it before the Nov 15 cutoff if you can.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.
Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Something I’ve noticed is there seems to be a sort of pervasive assumption that the status quo has gravity. That there’s a natural, comfortable way things should be and that deviations from the normal state of the world will correct themselves in time.
But as a paleontologist, I know this is false.
