It's time for #InverteFest, BRING OUT YOUR BUGS!
Go find bugs, draw bugs, have a seance with bugs but most importantly share bugs (all inverts).
We'll have a special announcement soon as well.
Plus, we've got this poster in multiple languages on our website! www.metrofieldguide.com/invertefest/

Some of you awesome people told me about Noirvember, which I never knew about, and I had to contribute my Noirvember piece featuring none other than Detective Pikachu, the ultimate noir icon and Pokemon icon. If y'all like it, I might do more of these. It was lots of fun.

For decades, Greebles have been used as stimuli in psychology studies on facial recognition. Greebles come in five families (Samar, Galli, Osmit, Radok and Tasio) and two genders (plok and glip).
Though nobody is sure where they come from, science owes these odd creatures an enormous debt.

Hello internets, there's a paleontological museum in danger of being closed. Please help.
Well it seems it is going to be to late for @lastweektonight.com to help with their hiatus. Any suggestions for a big sci com/science interested news account I should play with to help save PRI?
Tag them in the comments with your pitch for why they should help out this museum maybe

ATTENTION! Chris here: Down to the wire. About to lose our storage and home. If we can last a couple more months here I can move us to an apt that is far more affordable/avoid sleeping in the car. Im going to open a new digital bundle tier for $105 which gets you everything in the shop plus bonuses.

This is sadly true. Several colleagues in different fields are dealing with situations like this. Multiple complaints about a PI's research conduct over many years. But not enough evidence as witnesses are too afraid of Prof. So it's WB word against Prof, and uni always sides with Prof.
LM: Whistleblowers can play such an important role here, but there is so much fear of the powerful professor. Universities do not really investigate such cases thorougly, they believe the senior researcher because they bring in the money.

AC/DC played Melbourne again on Sunday night. There was a 12% higher peak in ground-pounding tunes compared to last Wednesday. The frequency "heat map" pattern was similar in timing and relative intensity, but slightly clearer this time. 🤘

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑
Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for.
We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

I've started research on historic (preWW2) women who worked on volcanology/magmatic rocks. This includes anyone who was traveling to and writing about/observing/drawing/engaging with the landscape in myriad ways.
I'm building a list for further investigation. Will share soon! Any tip offs welcome!

It is super important to set small goals when writing a novel and not push past them. Trying to write 10k a day is a fun experiment, but not sustainable in the long term. If you want a career you need to be able to set small goals and keep them small.
