Most salamanders live in streams and under rocks or logs, but the wandering salamander has a high-flying lifestyle.
These 13-centimeter-long amphibians spend much or all of their lives in coastal redwoods, some of the tallest trees in the world.
In 2022, a laboratory study showed how they can descend by jumping, slowing their fall by spreading their limbs like a skydiver.

My one-hour special “Rick Steves Iran: Yesterday and Today,” which helps humanize 90 million Iranian people, is streaming free and ad-free at https://t.co/uL9oaOOGZp.
First off, space rules and always has. Love this.
But MORE IMPORTANTLY I'm going to need you to click this tweet and look at the very bottom to see who shot this video.
enjoying this piece on record life expectancy increasing over time
- the *insane* linear regression in 1840 - 2010 period just tracking record life expectancy over time (I think trend not consistent since, partic w COVID)
- how funny it is that people keep publishing papers claiming life expectancy can't exceed some max and then it does, sometimes the same year
graph pictured is record female life expectancy (highest of any country in that year) (y axis) graphed over time (x axis) - 1840 to 2020

Illinois wrestler, Lucas Byrd, stands next to his 6’3 girlfriend holding his 8th place trophy after becoming just the second 4x All-American in program history.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.

The Mexican anti-cartel Gen Z rebellion has reached Claudia Sheinbaum’s presidential palace in Mexico City.
The crowd has torn down the wall she built a few days ago and is now trying to get past the riot police who have taken cover in an ancient Roman testudo (turtle) formation
In light of James Watson's death, I post this article which clarifies Rosalind Franklin's contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA. It is richer than the conventional narrative.

[1/3] Men's testosterone levels did not plummet over the past decade like many wellness podcasts would have you believe... we just switched the measurement assay from immunoassay to mass spectrometry
When we switched assays, we observed a ~100% increase in self-reported healthy men with low testosterone. The threshold needed to be updated when the assay changed.

Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their groundbreaking discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance that prevents the immune system from harming the body.
The Nobel Prize laureates identified the immune system’s security guards, regulatory T cells, thus laying the foundation for a new field of research. The discoveries have also led to the development of potential medical treatments that are now being evaluated in clinical trials.
The hope is to be able to treat or cure autoimmune diseases, provide more effective cancer treatments and prevent serious complications after stem cell transplants.
