Streamers be saying mods the same way a medieval lord would yell guards

Processing pselaphines from Yanayacu. Some beauties! The long-legged thing is a new Pselaphomorphus, which @lauravasvel revised for her M.S.. I don't think any flightless species have been previously known.

A ridiculous beetle! What does he do with all that headgear?!

In the 1970s, scientists chopped up hydra (freshwater organisms) in a blender.

After 3-5 days, the hydra cells "spontaneously" reaggregate, regrowing their tentacles & becoming "normal animals" again.

Nobody asked, but this is one of my favorite research papers. PDF below.🔻

It's taken fourteen years, but today I can proudly say I've been rejected by Nature, Science AND Cell!

Since it is Paulo Freire's birthday, I want to remind everyone what he taught us: there’s no such thing as a politically neutral education, a politically neutral curriculum, or a politically neutral pedagogy.

[Dr. Kaia Mattioli @kaia_mattioli]

it must be truly wild to be a boomer in biology like going from using genetic linkage to map genes to being able to do single cell full transcriptome sequencing across millions of cells in the span of a career is crazyyyyyy

@DokSchultz @EristheFair @leamaric with respect this is insane. "need" is not the same as "benefit from an unignorable amount" and everyone deserves access to oestrogen

Started calling the middle of a loaf of bread “the king’s bread” and saying things like “a cheddar this fine demands the king’s bread!”

This is just one of the many ways I have scraped joy out of a cold and unaccountable universe.

@knowyourmeme @oldbooksguy the idea that good art should clarify the mind is so miserable lol

@blacktabbygames something to be said for what part of "the narrator" he echoes, and how despite probably being chosen to encourage TLQ in his task he ends up "ever the passive player" in agreeing with 90% of their plans

[Ellie McNabola @dulcemette]

@blacktabbygames i do enjoy how even in a character presented to be one-note and symbolic, we get the impression of a complex person - the hero is at once brash and chivalrous and naive and gullible. easily swayed by talk of heroism and masculinity, but thinking of himself as a/The moral good

@jdragsky this looks ridiculously genre changingly cool
