Fish you can wear as gas masks? Moss that turns a robot sentient?

The TV series Scavengers Reign introduces us to a fantastical ecosystem on an alien planet.

@kpcallaghan_ digs into the science of the series with @aladybiologist and @BhamlaLab

Is there a “floating classroom“ for freshwater science education in your region? Please reply with the ship and body of water. I am working on a project with a student on ship-based education, and our developing list would benefit from additional crowd-sourcing. Thanks!

Do Great Lakes fish snack on invasive shrimps? Only if they can catch them! New #GreatLakesSci shows shrimp are wiley, and use a combination of smart habitat choices and chemical cues to keep out of danger. Read more here: https://t.co/1AzQkQbiP8 @aladybiologist

In which I have a lot of fun with the fictional Latin names of some fictional species.

Now updated with commentary from @aladybiologist, who evolved the fictional species for @jeffvandermeer! https://t.co/HE59y1pmef

Cuba unintentionally deflected hundreds of nonnative species. Check out how, and what it teaches us about invasion science, in my very first popular press essay with @Jeff_d_corbin

@StephenBHeard @jeffvandermeer @Myelaphus @BioInFocus I left some crumbs of information as a response to your blog, and I would be happy to chat more about etymology or plant-animal interactions (fictional or otherwise)!

@DrAnnaFunk @jeffvandermeer Great essay, Anna. Awesome to be a part of the conversation that will be amplified by the Smithsonian!

[Anna Funk 🌻 @DrAnnaFunk]

Twitter's favorite author @jeffvandermeer asked biologist Meghan Brown to create realistic species for his new book. I chatted with Jeff, Meghan, and literary scholars about creating hummingbirds and salamanders, and the role of (real) science in fiction: https://t.co/3QqlRTrnh7

Grappling with complicated environmental truths? Try two scientific fables within a killer psychological thriller. @themadstone @jeffvandermeer https://t.co/pSjMDRmKFu
