Climate science scepticism has “almost entirely disappeared” from opinion pages of British national newspapers in past ten years.

But articles dismissing or contesting policies designed to address climate change have marginally increased over same period:

Being remembered forever isn't difficult. All you have to do is carry a bag of onions everywhere you go & hand them out as gifts. People will think you are some kind of quaint onion fairy. "There goes the onion lady!" they'll say as you pass out onions. Work smarter, not harder.

It's an #Infographic! Have you thought of the skies being like an ocean? The study of airspaces is called "aeroecology". Bats, birds, &insects use windcurrents for large scale migration pathways. There is a lot going on up there! We don't think of conservation of "airspace" (but maybe we should).🦇🧪🌎

New episode!! 📣📣

A chat w/ Ximena Nelson about spider ecology, behavior, and cognition.

Spiders don't just sit in their webs waiting for snacks. They also burrow, pounce, decorate, dance, balloon, plan, cache, and (perhaps) count.

From synthetic biology, the first spider silk jacket.

“Pound per pound protein fiber is five times stronger than steel, three times tougher than Kevlar, and lighter than carbon fiber”

Waterproof, breathable, warm.

The silk is grown from GMO bacteria.
