@Kurz_Gesagt, I'd love a sticker sheet of the different immune cells from you folks, do you have any plans on making more immune merch?

[Jason Stevenson @JPStevenson]

@CharlesCockell Would you share these plans? Would love to see

Observation: These bin bags are full of fallen leaves 🍂 that have been ‘tidied’ up.

Problem: Millions of rapidly biodegrading objects have been wrapped up in non-biodegradable packaging.

Solution: Create a community leaf-mould store. Free compost for all.

Explore life on mars, as told through maps with our colleagues at the @RoyalAstroSoc 🗺️

Hear the story of the early mapping of Mars and discover how the evolution of their interpretations popularised the belief that Mars sustained intelligent life forms.

Yuyuanozoon magnificissimi, the “Magnificent Animal from Chengjiang”, is the largest known Vetulicolian at 20 centimetres long. These filter feeders are closely related to chordates like us, but are far more simple.

It's a real delight to work at Kew Gardens.

[Jason Stevenson @JPStevenson]

The search for non-Earth-like habitat worlds. I wonder what strange and wonderful things evolution has produced on these alien water-worlds.

Flora, Fauna, and … Funga?

The Case for a Third ‘F.’

Fungi are fundamental to rich and sustainable ecosystems. But they still lack explicit legal protections.

This treehopper has an extension of growths on its body to mimic ants. The rest of the body blends in with foliage!

@jeffbenca Is there a paper associated with this? Somewhere I could read about this further?

This is a hornet moth. A harmless moth which happens to do an excellent job of looking like a hornet via @phil500

Look how this lovebird strips the leaves removing each midvein to tuck amongst its feathers for safe keeping...

rather than taking each piece home separately, this is a more efficient way of gathering and transporting nest building material
