one of the rarest moments to witness when monitoring bird nests is the moment a chick fledges from its nest - it's all over before you know it, and you gotta be super lucky to record it.
Here's the adorable exact moment a superb parrot chick makes the leap into the unknown 😭💚💚👋

I guess we can end the week with a little Snowcap. At @tapirvalley.bsky.social this morning.
I think this male is finishing up his transitional plumage into adulthood, as the full males don't have the white throat.

A major challenge (imo) in post-grad education is learners arriving with poor writing/reasoning skills. There's little time at this level to meaningfully address deficiencies there. This is why the gen AI disruption of education worries me. Our sector is moving painfully slowly to face the challenge

Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon. nyti.ms/3Sbusb3

On a 3rd date, she turned up FOUR hours late. During that time I sent her some angry messages and told myself I need to end things. She finally arrived in a tiny black dress, stockings and said she had booked us an hotel room. We are still together because I am a weak, weak man.

All 4 of my NIH research grants are terminated. These were grants on MDR-TB treatment & strategies for supporting adolescents living w/ HIV. This is a massive waste of resources. I am heartbroken for my Harvard team, my partners in Peru, the next generation of scientists & our country. Shame.

Ever wondered how an elephant's rumble compares to a kitten's purr? Both come from vocal folds, but #elephants use long, loose folds to create deep sounds—more like singing than purring. There's still a bit of mystery in their magical voices.

The newest and most powerful A.I. technologies — so-called reasoning systems from companies like OpenAI, Google and the Chinese start-up DeepSeek — are generating more errors, not fewer. As their math skills have notably improved, their handle on facts has gotten shakier.
A.I. Hallucinations Are Getting Worse, Even as New Systems Become More Powerful
A new wave of “reasoning” systems from companies like OpenAI is producing incorrect information more often. Even the companies don’t know why.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶
