@Lucent508 Last week, just about where your camera was pointed at the start of the video, there was a weeping cherry in flower... :(

Wow. In one night? @McCormick_Place

[NYC Plover Project @NycPlover]

1000+ birds alone died in ONE morning at @McCormick_Place in Chicago. Here’s just the ones who were found. Please tweet this building, contact them & share w/ everyone. They can and must fix this by retrofitting their building. Photo: Daryl Coldren https://t.co/q8Q5CSR0pR

@PrakashLab Such a beautiful spot in so many ways! I love the rack of plankton nets. :) @NYMicroscopical

@AMNH And just to the right of this photo, in the diorama you can see the Athabasca Glacier as it would have been around 1940 or so. This glacier is a remarkable place to visit, they have posts marking the retreat of the glacier through time. A dramatic story: https://t.co/LDmbM9LqsX

@ThisBikerReads @RiSCNYC @NWF Oh darn, just seeing this. I'll have to keep an eye out for other screenings.

#OnThisDay in 1609, astronomer Galileo Galilei demonstrated his new device, the telescope! 🔭

It refined Dutch models & was used to observe the sky. Galileo’s work The Starry Messenger describes his discoveries of stars & Jupiter's moons.

This telescope was made 70 years later.

@WhippleMuseum Very nice! Have fun!

[Jay Holmes @JholmesJay]

@WhippleMuseum Have a GREAT time tomorrow!

[Jay Holmes @JholmesJay]

@WhippleMuseum Can you share a few of the scopes you will be using? I am in New York so I will not be able to attend, but I am part of the New York Microscopical Society and I am curious about this sort of event on our side of the pond. :)

@joyfulmicrobe Whoa.

[NYC Plover Project @NycPlover]

Several news outlets covered piping plover nest vandalism that occurred in Far Rockaway. Unfortunately, this has been a yearly occurrence on our NYC beaches. This is not normal. What’s also not normal is that not one elected official has come forward to denounce these acts …

[Jay Holmes @JholmesJay]

@grajohnt Looks like it is in the Tun state... add some water.
