Off they go!

Here are some of my latest pictures of clouds :)

hard not to feel the spiritual in them 😊

ah! I see, thanks :)

I love clouds. Fun to think how cirri like those are solids made of ice particles while cumulus are liquid made of water droplets! ☁️

I could swear that first picture of Physalia is actually mine from our visit to BIOS in 2019, or a still from my video. The position of the fish prey is just so specific... or a very uncanny coincidence

My favorite outcome was validating species descriptions from 18th century scientists who illustrated animals on their voyages. Their descriptions were often rejected as implausible – we found that in many cases they were exactly right. Yet another reason why @biodivlibrary.bsky.social is so valuable

We combined sequencing data with thousands of participatory science images via @inaturalist.bsky.social, to connect genomic clusters to distinct morphologies. Credit to awesome undergraduates River Abedon and Diego Ramirez on this part! www.inaturalist.org/observations...
