I just thought I’d announce here, in case anyone is interested, that I now have an Instagram account devoted to my wildlife photography. The username is @nsakichphotography. Feel free to follow it if that’s your sort of thing.

@DoctorAtlantis Glad to see I’m clearly not the only lunatic who was humming the “Lemming of the BDA” song throughout listening to the latest MonsterTalk episode.

My grandfather’s connection to (at the time, Princess) Elizabeth. He was the captain of the Combines. Rest In Peace, the both of you.

We knew this day was coming, but it feels weird now that it’s actually here. Rest In Peace.

CBC News coverage of the death of Queen Elizabeth, who was Canada's head of state and the longest-reigning British monarch.

Today I visited a street called Railspur Alley on @granville_isle. It is quite possibly the coolest name for a street ever.

Today a grey jay (AKA a “Canada jay”) landed on my head. It was a good day.

Sign number whatever that the pandemic is bit by bit sucking away everything that once made life enjoyable.

E. O. Wilson has died, aged 92. An exceptional biologist, often compared to Darwin, and best known for his work on ants and island biogeography. [Image Jim Harrison CC 2.5]

I find it so ridiculous that new dinosaurs and hominids make it into @nature but basically no other taxonomic descriptions apparently qualify. The new Stegouros is no more elaborate or interesting a discovery than typical new frogs, lizards, or fish. https://t.co/FUoT4AO6tI

Don’t you just hate it when your house gets infested by domesticated gerbils?

@birdturntable I was under the impression that the “doves” at weddings were actually just white homing pigeons that return to the loft of the person who owns them when released. Are unscrupulous people actually using white ringneck doves?

@frontierdev, @PlanetZooGame is a great game, but as I found out last night, you seem to have forgotten that Canada is a thing that exists.

Hot take: if it takes two hours for someone to read just your methods and results sections and your paper has 17 separate figures, and it’s not advertised as a “monograph,” you should really have split this into multiple manuscripts.

@TetZoo Permian bear.

Well #TetZooMCon was a lot of fun. Glad I “went”.

[Nick Sakich @NickSakich]

@TetZoo We will be getting emails as to how to actually access the zoom meetings/video conferences, yes? I’m just anxious that I missed something 😅.
