We found about 1000 fin whales over a 5x5 mile area off South Orkney. Blue and humpback also mixed in. Mind completely blown 🐳 @LindbladExp #NationalGeographicEndurance

Watch this vesicle hit the microtubule highway on its way through the cell. The sudden switch from Brownian diffusion to active transport is amazing. It is fascinating to see textbook cell biology come to live with modern fluorescence microscopy. #membranetrafficking

Follow up #2: Here's a more complete figure showing specimens tested, confirmed cases and fraction of specimens testing positive across age groups. Again, data is directly from @CDCgov's COVIDView.

Why is ending racism a debate?

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. https://t.co/jEczrOeFdv

Super excited to finally share our #preprint on the #eDNA validation scale! We developed a framework to assess the status of species-specific assays. (https://t.co/xA4SWb9oVo) @biorxivpreprint

At our showcase gathering last month we heard from some of our awardees about their adventures in innovation.
Interesting conversation with @paulbunje and @David_Baisch of @conservationx, @DNW1710 and @NadiaLaabs of @SNTechUK and Ethan Edson of Ocean Diagnostics.

We briefly came across this beautiful squid yesterday during a #DesigningTheFuture ROV dive. Anyone have a name or more info about it? @MBARI_News @SarahMackAttack @TheOctoNation @BioinspirLab @KakaniKatija @universityofri @urigso @bphillipsdeep6 @wyssinstitute

White nose syndrome, caused by a fungus, collapses bat populations. Can #synbio be used to drop the loss, by detection or treatment?
We want to act as a conduit between synbio communities and conservation bio communities. - @David_Baisch at @conservationx

For the first time, scientists have been able to confirm that a bottlenose dolphin has adopted an orphaned calf of another species

The calf, a melon-headed whale, even started to behave like a dolphin in order to adopt to his new family

Just published in @PLOSONE!! Meet Mini, the newest genus of frogs from Madagascar!! With three new species: Mini mum, Mini scule, and Mini ature, because I am HILARIOUS.

🎶 It’s the fiii-nal count-dowwwn!! 🎵

If you went “BA DA DA DAAAAH” in your head – you are very cool.

But you could be cooler. Like if you submitted a bold conservation idea to the Con X Tech Prize by midnight tonight.

Oh yeah. THAT’S cool.
