The most exhilarating wildlife experience I’ve spectated. My mind is beyond blown. Strongly considering adding Jaguar to the list of diving mammals I’d like to study after seeing this apnoea 🤔🤔🤔 🐆🐆🐆 @cristinlambert

Excited to take the first of our electron microscopy (SEM) images today @Iziko_Museums on an #adeonellid #bryozoans research project with student @Onika_Mabalabal from our @InsideNatGeo project! She will be investigating the #genetics and #taxonomic #diversity of adeonellids.

Now out in Nature Ecology & Evolution: The same 20 insect families make up over 50% of species and specimens in Malaise samples; regardless of continent, climate, or habitat. Yet, most are neglected dark taxa. Time for change! https://t.co/mmxVF9mc75

My adult fantasy novella 'Numamushi' has been acquired by @LFPbooks and - if all goes to plan - is looking at Fall 2023! Expect muddy snaky boys, finding family and the countryside of 1950 Japan ~ 🐍

In January, an #eagleray giving birth at the Aquarium took the world by storm. Over 47 million people watched this special moment, and countless people learned that their high school teachers lied to them - some fish can give birth to live young! 💙 https://t.co/mAZvAZB7Rb
