🌳🌳LIQUID TREES ARE COOL, y'all are just haters: a thread.🌳🌳

This tweet went viral and twitter got mad as heck about it. "But we love trees!" they cried. But they are actually really cool and here's why: (1/14)

Great article by @bert_hu_bert! Really drives home the wonder of the genetic code, and provides a very accessible primer on DNA basics for those more CS-minded. Seems he has a book in the works, too! https://t.co/NtcBXb1GY0 #DNA #programming

@SecondNatureMB No problem!

[Theodore Striegel @TedStriegel]

@SecondNatureMB My first guess is Philodromidae, and probably Philodromus. Any more specific ID requires dissection.

@JeffOllerton @AcademicChatter @Oikos_Journal I used this in my thesis!

🌿 @MontgomeryParks is increasing pollinators and native wildlife in its parks. Through its Meadow Management and Restoration Program, the department is seeing a resurgence of many new pollinator-friendly plants. Details ➡️ https://t.co/No0wKCbUKB.

@SilverSpringMD Thanks for the response, hoping for light rain tonight.

@Lord_Forbington I believe BLAST is the best that is publicly available (ie. published data)

Hey guys, it’s spring soon here in the northern hemisphere - know what that means? BABY WILDLIFE.
Here’s a fun little thread about different baby wild animals you may encounter & what is GOOD ADVICE & what is BAD ADVICE - from your friendly neighborhood wildlife rehabilitator ♥️

[Marie Balon @balon_marie]

Wait that's not all.

When you feel hatred towards them, please try and remember: if they are that big an issue nowadays, it's also bc we have destroyed so much habitat for the birds who prey on them.

While population control can be needed, please dont be too quick to squish!

[🕷scienTEAfic🕷 @tea_francis]

Ok. We need to talk about the media doing spiders dirty again. Strap in. We’re talking about these GIANT SPIDERS THAT ARE PARACHUTING IN & TAKING OVER THE USA!! *gasp*

Nonsense. Calm down. Here’s what’s up.🧵

"We can choose to use synthetic biology to make even more with less, to protect wild species and wild spaces, and to do so in a sustainable way. Or we can reject our new biotechnologies and risk losing everything that we claim to protect." --@bonesandbugs

Went to the Chesapeake waterfront today. Seagulls everywhere, soft sounds of the water hitting the docks. You can almost forget the existence of things called "Delta variant" and "rationed care."

[Theodore Striegel @TedStriegel]

I endorse squishing spotted lanternflies.
