The most destructive mistake of a thoughtful, successful creative person is to listen to the screaming in your head that tells you that your success will only be real once it looks like the success of your heroes.

What do bats have to do with diabetes? It turns out, sugar isn’t the easiest thing to live on—and fruit bats have a REALLY sweet diet. In order to process all that fruit, they have specially developed pancreases and kidneys.

Of all the cool animals whose genomes have been sequenced in comparative genomics studies, sequencing the genomes of animals that are extinct is wayyyyyyy cool.

FUNGUS IN SPACE!!! 🍄🚀

Equal parts cosmic horror and nature being metal, let's talk about the lichen that grew on the OUTSIDE of the International Space Station!

Get your tea and curl up, because I PROMISE you wanna hear about these fungal cosmonauts 🧑‍🚀

That’s the attendant. Tell him your floor and he’ll push the button.

Your package has been delivered.

The #OSIRISREx sample return capsule containing rock and dust collected in space from asteroid Bennu has arrived at temporary clean room in Utah. The 4.5-billion-year-old sample will soon head to @NASA_Johnson for curation and analysis.

If I had a nickel for every time nerdfighteria has pressured a large corporation into reducing prices for critical tools to address the tuberculosis crisis, I'd have two nickels--which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Lots of questions regarding The Creature who lives in The Bean. Think of The Bean less as the creature's home and more as his egg. When the incubation period is complete, he will emerge. Once hatched, there's no telling if Chicago will be safe.

The Y chromosome has an unusually high percentage of repetitive DNA sequence, which made it SUPER difficult for scientists to study. They had to use special technology and methods to make it happen! So remember that patience and rest leads to innovation.  https://t.co/XoPOfnIOPS

Children of the Sky (a Starfield song) is out NOW everywhere.

we’ve been playing @BethesdaStudios games for most of our lives, so we’re honored to have collaborated on this song.

listen to the song and watch the lyric video on our youtube.

.@Genome_gov researchers have assembled the first, fully complete human #YChromosome sequence! This sequence reveals genetic factors with implications for fertility. https://t.co/uOHI6rNCnb (Thread)

We have some BIG news! Well, it's still pretty little. But by little, we mean 3 feet long. Come meet the Aquarium's newest resident: a baby Komodo dragon! We have SO MANY exciting things happening with this baby! You'll have to see it to believe it!

I know some of these words 🐧✈️

[Marissa Ohran @dragonrider109]

I love when scientific studies (or articles linking to them) end up in my family group chat and I find myself explaining words and figures to my 10 year old brother. He’s curious and not afraid to speak up when he doesn’t understand something, and I enjoy sharing what I know
