When 4,788 CITES-protected medicinal #leeches were detained at YYZ Int’l airport, we analyzed DNA of blood the leeches had fed on before their capture. Based on the species identified from the blood, we attempt to pinpoint where the leeches were poached https://t.co/mbMziXmevf

Please do not be the person who orders delivery during a flash flood that the NWS has deemed a dangerous and life-threatening situation. It puts vulnerable people at risk.

If it’s too dangerous for you, it’s too dangerous for them. Raid your cabinets or ask a neighbor for help.

@urbanevol The rose-breasted grosbeak is my favorite backyard bird! I haven’t seen them yet this year in MA

[Kalani Williams @iguanaonarock]

@urbanevol Are those tree swallows? I've never seen one before!

[Alexandra Samuels @AlexSamuelsx5]

There’s no doubt: Today’s news is monumental. Cops are rarely tried/convicted.

But please don’t say this is a referendum on policing. This was 1) a high-profile case that 2) won’t bring back Floyd & 3) doesn’t address the racist criminal justice system.

@karenyhan @doomquasar Height of book or height of author because I would really love to see a picture if it’s the latter

@dpcahoon @vaccinetime My dad has been trying for hours every day to get an appointment for the last couple weeks and I got an appointment for him the first time I tried one of your links, thank you so much for developing this tool and sharing it! 💗

This is a really exciting use of cloning! Black-footed ferret population counts were my first fieldwork, so this holds a really special place in my heart ❤️

[Revive & Restore @Revive_Restore]

Welcome, Elizabeth Ann! This cloned Black-footed Ferret is now the most genetically valuable of her species. Read the press release about this major milestone for conservation https://t.co/ApFcwbH6ml due to our partnership with @frozenzoo @usfwsnews @ViaGenPets_

@urbanevol 😂😂 I’m making Buffalo chicken dip with blue cheese and shredded rotisserie chicken as a pizza sauce for the Super Bowl this year!

@starwarstuff Would it really be Thrawn if it’s not Lars

[Kalani Williams @iguanaonarock]

@urbanevol Maybe this is overly hopeful but I’d also like to think that aiming is a little easier against a faceless enemy and is a little more difficult when you can see the face of the person you’re aiming for

The electoral college has got to go

[Touré @Toure]

Nation waits breathlessly to see if candidate who leads by four million votes will win.

[Rodger Sherman @rodger]

From the guy who brought you “the reason there are so many cases is because we are doing too many tests” comes the new hit single “I’m only losing because they’re counting all the votes against me”

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Those warnings we gave you about not paying too much attention to results until you're sure a county is fully reported... you're already ignoring them!

But I'll say it again: don't pay much attention to results until you're sure a county is fully reported (mail, in-person, etc.)

@MrRockDoctor What does it say that I didn’t even get the joke at first

[Kalani Williams @iguanaonarock]

@JGN_Paleo I’ve been working exclusively in front of a bird feeder during quarantine so my productivity might be slightly down but my bird ID is definitely up

[Kalani Williams @iguanaonarock]

@JGN_Paleo I’m pretty sure that’s actually a yellow-bellied sapsucker!
