@Lagomarsino_L @LSU @lsuscience Aw, fantastic! You couldn't possibly deserve it more. ❤️ Congratulations!

@greeneyedtbone @DrSamiSchalk (3/3) Same for the pollinator plants: if they're Wisconsin natives, the 10th will be great, but otherwise it depends on species.

[Alexa DiNicola @ACDiNicola]

@greeneyedtbone @DrSamiSchalk (2/ ) Any and all native plants will also be fine. Give the palm tree til June if you want to be really sure (or let me know which species of palm it is so I can look up specifics, heh).

@onemilo @MissSamVee @BookSyrup We don’t have unlimited *clean* water, though, especially as fertilizer pollution (and rising temperatures) makes toxic algae blooms more common and longer-lasting every year.

@EmmRankinWilson @tattooed_bug Well, sure, they probably didn't -- the problem was with the men.

@kimbers06 @TheAmandaGorman Actively killing a person is not the same as refusing to be their life support machine. Every person has the absolute right to choose who uses their body. (Or are you also in favor of government-mandated living organ donation?)

@dailydoseofxxxx @nd_uche @PepeDePablos @TheAmandaGorman @ebonyplusirony I think he's responding to the response to your photo, FWIW

@thedinomancer If you can find them, and I can afford them, I will proceed to wear them. Yes PLEASE. <3

@TomHoltzPaleo @thedinomancer @Lepidodendron Even many museum dioramas don't bother getting the prehistoric plants right. I was disappointedly impressed to see that the coal-forest display at the Chicago Museum of Sci. & Industry hadn't gotten the foliage too spectacularly wrong. Didn't get it *right*, though, ofc.

[Alexa DiNicola @ACDiNicola]

@Verysmartman3 @keraoregan Yes. People are, in fact, dying. Some are being mutilated by bombs, and some are drowning in their own lungs. Both are preventable and neither is excusable. What exactly is your point?

[Alexa DiNicola @ACDiNicola]

@greeneyedtbone Among other things, it's used in the CTAB method of DNA extraction. Which I am very glad I didn't end up needing to use, because accidentally anesthetizing myself over a lab bench isn't exactly my idea of fun. (Yeah, yeah, fume hoods, it's still nervy.)

Who knew that Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day would channel @UWSystem and @UWMadison 's reckless announcement to end the mask mandate on campus mid-semester before Spring Break? Way to go team, you have outdone yourselves in irresponsible decision making.

[Alexa DiNicola @ACDiNicola]

@greeneyedtbone oh HELL YES

[Alexa DiNicola @ACDiNicola]

@greeneyedtbone D. Definitely D.
