How high can Simone Biles jump? In Antarctic terms, 5 Adélie penguins high! 🐧🥇

@BootsUK Can you help us age this packaging? We are trying to date when a mysterious bunker was backfilled in our garden and found this amongst it all.

Investigating a dip in the grass and discovered what appears to be an underground air raid shelter. Only problem - this was a field during the war?! Community shelter, possibly? Excavation will continue tomorrow.#ww2 #airraidshelter #ukhistory #bunker #GardeningTwitter

Never worked out which species of Acropora this is, but it is looking stunning at the moment with its purple coralites. #reeftank #aquarium #reefcoral #tropicalreef #acropora

A very striking Cepaea nemoralis on the garden wall tonight. The diversity of gastropods in the garden is quite remarkable. Shame they have munched through all my hostas this year... #gastropod #gardensnail #mollusc #wildlifeuk

I think this is the biggest paradigm shift in deep-sea science I've ever seen.

Kudos Andrew Sweetman and team for discovering that manganese nodule fields produce O2 in the deep ocean.

Sometimes I shrink myself down, squeeze through the mouth, and climb around inside a sand dollar (a flat sea urchin) #Xraymicrotomography

@HuppenthalJohn Errr...no you can't....absolutely no scientist or reef keeper (hobbiest) would support that statement.

Another fresh batch of Bombina v. variegata spawn. After a slow start, there is no stopping them! #frog #toad #amphibian #bombina

@paulharnik Curious, almost resemble some type of polyp...

Delighted to share another paper from my time at the @ProfBenthos lab, authored by @tjw_97. Part of @NERC_CAO @Arctic_Seafloor and collaboration with @BAS_News, this paper offers insight into the effects of climate change on polar organisms. https://t.co/UZ7gbxkFzE #polarscience

[Adam J. Reed @DrAdamReed]

@ProfBenthos @BenthicBecky @muVISxrayCT @NaturalEngland Epic imaging, I'm so glad to see that this project has continued.

What is the collective noun for pycnogonids? #marineinverts #invertsrock

Home reef looking good at the moment. Nice to have some time to tinker with it. #reeftank #montipora #acropora #reefcoral #coralreef #aquarium #ndaquatics

Peering into my reef, how many species can you spot? 🤔 #reefcoral #reeftank #marinebiology #coral #sps

Seed grown Dionaea (Venus fly trap) from my own parent plants. Christmas holidays means I have some time to check in on these things! #flytrap #Carnivorousplant #dionaea #seedgrown
