Does it mean something if I misread 'DNA of haptophytes' as 'DNA of happiness' and suddenly became 10x more interested in the paper?🤔

Looking for photos of dassies (hyrax) for my next ocean presentation - super relevant, obviously - and I come across a perfect example of "there's always that one friend" image. #AcademicTwitter #phdlife

I've just realised that bongo nets remind me so much of the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg and I'm not sure what this says about my research. #oceanscience #greatgatsby #pareidolia

Have you ever seen #columnarbasalt? 🤩

How does it form? 🧐

Well... it starts as lava. As the lava cools, it shrinks. Shrinking vertically is easy - it just gets shorter - but horizontally is hard: the rock has to break. Tensile fracturing like this takes energy, and... 1/3
