When spiders molt, they pop the top of their head off like a little hat. It rarely stays intact, but today I found one of these treasures in the enclosure. Hope this perfect little spider helmet brightens your Tuesday! Phidippus audax, London ON.

So good to be watching the #VisionForPlanning launch ft @amylame and minister @ChrisPincher! The Vision presents a gold-standard for the planning system developed by 18 fantastic organisations.
We hope to see our suggestions shaping legislation over the next year and beyond.

Let’s be very clear.

The officials urging for no serious consequences after Wednesday’s attack on our country - including the impeachment, removal, expulsion, and/or indictment of officials who aided, abetted, or incited the attack - are opening the door for it to happen again.

@PipOppen @PictureThisAI YESSSS thankyou!

[Christine Wilkinson, PhD 🌈 @ScrapNaturalist]

Underlying all of the issues with *that* Nature Communications paper we're all talking about: the authors judge "success" based very heavily on publication impact.

When will success in #academia also be measured by outreach, teaching, & placing importance on equity?

@dendromecon27 I would absolutely not be where I am now without @MonniKaboom. She was an excellent mentor throughout my masters (and still is now), offering endless support (right down to coding assistance on easter weekend!) and ensuring my work was the best it could be. Hats off to you Monni!

[Monika Bohm @MonniKaboom]

Please join us for this free #OnlineEvent which will be a celebration not just of reptiles, but also the reptile research/conservation community we have been so privileged to work with over the past years! This one's for you - keep up your amazing work!

My masters supervisor and possibly one of the greatest humans I’ve ever met has done a podcast on BBC sounds and its exactly the amount of wholesomeness I needed to hear today #dungbeetlesinwellies

[Monika Bohm @MonniKaboom]

Back in early March, I joined @lizbonnin @MattMcGrathBBC @Vic_Gill to talk about biodiversity, trees and ecosystems, & of course molluscs too 🐌 (I mean I always do!). Excited (and nervous) to say the episode is out now! #whatplanetpodcast https://t.co/JD1c3aZ4HT

Efficient use of land can help us protect our precious green spaces for people and nature. Our research @CPRE shows there is enough recyclable land for 1.3m homes. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 https://t.co/njz4K1jNoL
